MistKing Reservoir

[Andrew1283]

Many people have no issues using the supplied (and flat) bulkhead from MistKing on the rounded wall of a plastic 5 gallon bucket. I’m sure if you screw it on tight enough, the plastic bucket and bulkhead flexes enough to make a good seal. Still, some people have experienced drips and leaks but get around it by using silicone on the bulkhead. So I wondered, why not use a square bucket with flat walls?

Makes sense what size you using, do you know how much water the mistking uses per hour or whatever,

I just have the starter MistKing. I got it for $120.00 on sale on Chewy.com and run it for 2 minutes a day. 5 gallons lasts forever

Wow I was only going to use 8/ 10 litres max so as the water would be fresher .

Well I do use distilled and keep the lid on. Can’t be any fresher than that. The distilled is $1.00 a gallon and doesn’t leave chalky residue on my leaves

Are use a 27 gallon square container. It’s not only my reservoir for my Miss King but it’s also my fogger. The clear tube you see to the left tells me the water level inside the tub . The tube coming out the front goes to my mistking., the center portal attaches to a filled tube and the tube in the far front attaches to my PVC that goes up in fog’s my inclosure

But I’ve also made one from a bucket fit underneath a 2 x 2 x 4 that also has a reservoir for mistking and a single head fogger
