mistking!

[caroline?]

so i returned my old mister and bought a mistking starter kit, it comes tomorrow and i have some nozzles from the other mister and i was wondering if i could use them for the mistking. Also i know it doesn't come with a water reserve and was wondering what people use for that?

 

[ERKleRose]

What type of mister did you have? A 5 gallon bucket works perfect and is cheap!

i had this one

I have absolutely no idea if you can reuse those nozzles, but probably not

Literally just assembled my mistking ten minutes ago. In theory there is no reason why you wouldn't be able to use the other misters with the mistking. As long as those nozzles dont require a higher pressure than those of the mistking ( highly unlikely. Mistking is high pressure). Even if the tubing connection size is different you could use a reducing adapter.

I stand corrected!

The mistking comes with nozzles I believe, and as for the reservoir you can use any container. I use a 15 gal that looks like this.

100% can use those. Can't guarantee they operate as smoothly as the mist king nozzles but they'll certainly work. I'll Google to see if I can find pressure info but no way those require higher pressure than most king

The question is if the MistKing is more powerful than them, will they break?

The opposite. If the mister has a pressure valve in it that requires a certain psi and the mistking does not pump that psi they just won't spray. Won't cause damage regardless

Thanks!

Exactly what I was thinking plus if the nozzle dose break you didn’t lose out just gotta get a mistking nozzle.

I looked at more photos of the system on Amazon and as I suspected this uses an almost identical sized pump as a mistking. You're good to go they're both high pressure systems. The only real difference in any of these type of mechanical applications is usually quality control and craftsmanship. This is very similar to comercial irrigation applications I use for work.

To be abundantly cautious I would make sure to run atleast one of the mistking nozzles with these when you set it up to test so if the unimaginable happens the pressure has somewhere to go and doesn't cause leakage at a fitting along your lines

I use my MISTKING system to mist 3 cages. One head for each.
One cage is clear across the room and the tubing runs through a plastic cord protector about 15 feet under an area carpet.
It has it's own pressure control valve and even at a much lower PSI, the MISTKING head in that cage is a fine spray.
True MISTKING nozzles perform great at any pressure.
Not just at maximum.
I love my MISTKING products.
On a side note:
Make sure you remove the protective caps off of your MISTKING nozzles before use.
I didn't notice them and my first two popped off and bounced around the cages while I was doing my timer settings.

The mistking comes with nozzles I believe

Starter kit comes with one. Some folks can get away with one, but I emailed both MK and the enclosure mfr., and they both recommended 2 for a 2x2x4, and 4 for a 4x2x4. Whatever works best for you.

I use a smaller bin that I tipped at an angle so there wouldn't be so much standing water at low tide.
It'll hold 3-4 gal, but I've only been using 2 gal/week for a 4x2x4 enclosure w/ 3 nozzles.

I'd suggest getting a reservoir container with a lid (my lid isn't shown) to help keep out contaminants, and get more life out of the filter.

 

[caroline?]

long story short the nozzles from the other mister did not work ugh!, but i might be able to fix it

You have any indication as to why they not working? I'm very surprised by that.

 

[Pickle-cham]

Mistaking nozzles have a swarf filter inside them and have a really fine mist. Likely that the miss match of the nozzles are causing water to take path of least resistance. Do they not work if you leave out the oem no nozzle?

Slightly off topic but you are going to love having a MistKing once you get it set up. You just have to resist the temptation to add more cages because now you can.
