Mist King Systems

[WaterWitchin]

Have you asked them at MistKing what they suggest for your space? They're usually pretty good at helping. They do customized mist systems for zoos, etc, in large spaces, so should be able to easily give you advice.

A three foot wide spray is possible, depending on how you install the misters, but would need to be vertical spacing and nozzles pointed down. Horizontal placement gives less coverage, more focus. Putting the nozzles too close together will have the opposite effect (heavier saturation of droplets in the air) Having fan(s) going will of course deflect the mist so you have to plan for how you'll move the air.

I was asking why buy if you don't know it will suit your space, because you said you were getting ready to purchase a MistKing system. That was a generic question, not directed specifically directed at the Advanced system. More like is it the type of misting system you need for your space.

keith I think a mistking is more for a terrarium I would have thought and for a greenhouse you use something like these 360deg Micro-mist sprayer-91258

you just need a pump, a timer and the irrigation hose, maybe a pressure reducer, I've never set one up but the theory is pretty simple, doesn't need to have a fancy computer, an electronic timer should do just as well.

Uh oh. I have fans blowing 24-7, which may present a problem for watering when I'm gone. The fans must remain on after watering because the plant crowns will still be wet come night due to the very high humidity after I water. I really don't need a humidity increase, just the water. Perhaps what I need is a sprinkler system, though I don't know of one that will work with an RO reservoir.

What are you trying to accomplish with a misting system? Watering? Humidifying? Cooling?

In a greenhouse, I would think there are better ways to accomplish all.

Watering only.

I just haven't gotten around to making a cover for my 44 gallon trash can reservoir. Ironically, the lid that goes with the trash can is sold separately and costs about the same amount as the trash can. Maybe a trash bag would do.
