So I built my own mister. What timer?

[GTSLOW]

I built my owner mister. It runs off being plugged in as there's no on off switch on the pump. What digital timers do you guys/gals use? There's gotta be some by the minute type ones out there.

For anyone wondering I spent $55 on my mister (pump, fittings, nozzles, tubing).

Can we see some pics

Yes, please post pictures. If you want mist times less than a minute you'll need something like the Mist King timer which will so increments in seconds and/or minutes.

I use the mistking minute timer. It works great for me.
And yes please post pics of your system

I just used a standard digital light timer from Walmart. I mist 4 times a day for 3 minutes each. Works great for me and is much cheaper than the mistking timer.

home depot also sells minute digital timers

Not sure if I can post a parts list but this is a breakdown (vendors sell these). Pump is a small 12VDC 3A unit capable of 100PSI powered via an off brand laptop charger. Tubing and fitings were all bought at Home Depot. The nozzles are Orbit Dripmasters.

I went with a Titan Controls Apollo 9 timer.

Will try to get pics tomorrow if I have time.
