I can't believe I'm about to say this... I need help!
I just bought my first Mist King with the ST-24 timer. I followed the provided install guide exactly and it worked perfectly during the first test. I programmed the timer to go off the next morning so I could check everything out but it never kicked on. The mist in progress symbol on the timer turned on and off at the correct time but there was no response from the pump, no sound, no vibes , no nothing. Then I held down the up arrow for about 30 secs to force a manual mist, still nothing.
Correct me if I'm wrong but That tells me its a electrical prob. So then I held down both arrows to clear the timer thinking I may have made a mistake but when I tried to put it in "ON" mode I got the same results, no response from the pump. Then I totally disconnected every piece of my system and looked them over for damage but everything looked good. When I went to reconnect the power to the pump and timer I noticed a small spark when I made the reconnection. I'm thinking that spark is a symptom of whatever the problem is.
How can I isolate and test each electrical component independently?
Also, the box on the line that runs from the the timer to the pump doesn't seem to be very well made, anyone ever had an issue with it?
If it helps My pump is at floor level with the holding tank about 3" above the pump and my only nozzle it at the very top of my enclosure.
