MistKing – Starter Misting System, 5th Gen | Used by Zoos, Botanical Gardens, Institutions & Hobbyists | Expandable to 10 Nozzles | Extremely Fine Mist | 50 Micron Droplets | MKSMS5-125-50

this turned out to be a fantastic mister! I have a green tree python and had been hand misting. That got tiresome and when you factor in vacations or days i work late it just wasn't practical. I researched several units and ultimately decided on the mist king. my main concern was set up/installation. a couple of reviews made it sound difficult or as if the directions weren't written very well... nothing could be farther from the truth.The instruction book was written in very plain english. the whole set up took about 20 min and the first 5 or 6 was just me reading the directions to get a feel for them. the basics are you drill a hole in your reservoir ( in many cases a clean plastic bucket), install the drain (a simple screw in situation) run a couple pieces of tubing and mount the sprayer. Its super simple and the directions are very easy to follow.the mist king pump is INCREDIBLY quiet. so quiet if it wasn't obviously misting i wouldn't know it was on. This can 100% be put in a bedroom or family area with no worries about noise disruption.the one and only con i would identify is the instructions for programing the timer. The timer itself is really nice. its a remote style unit, meaning its got a long cord tying it to the pump. its very nice looking and i have it mounted to my tank visibly because its so well designed. the instructions, however leave a little to be desired. they help you get it programed if you read them enough but they don't make it simple and clear. In the end i went to the mist king web site and there is a user forum. it was a wealth of information and people had asked every question imaginable. with that it was a simple matter to program. it could be simply be me, perhaps my reading comprehension lacks a little something and the forum was written a bit more simply. whatever the case one you figure it out the programing is easy enough and very flexible. it can handle ten different start and stop times daily or a mixture of individual days of the week if you so desire. I have mine set up as a daily routine and its been dead on every day.in the end this is a fantastic system. Its been reliable and was easy to set up. my gap seem to be happier with the added humidity and im happier not having to hand mist very day.I was not compensated for this review in any way, just a guy who needed a mister. If this review helped you i appreciated a like :)

Easy to set up. Works great.

This is for my panther chameleon. Let me tell you something lol. I'm a cheap s.o.b. I always shop around and cross check etc etc. I read the reviews I checked other systems i complained, I groaned and finally I ordered it. It is literally the best bang for the buck. Its quiet and not to bad to set up. I'm not big on instructions, I like to figure things out on my own and this unit wasn't to bad. I had all figured out except in the end when you program the timers I didn't realize that in the "po" you put the start time and in the second you don't put end time but you put how long you want to run. ( I did have to look in the book at that, because It was running for longer then 5 minutes. That's what I thought I set it for.) The thing was set to run for and hour and half and the second 3 hours and the third 6 hours lol. Yea not good. I don't usually do reviews but I'm glad I bought it. I really do believe I will never need another mister again. Easy to set up and quiet as can be. Take it from me people. Don't even bother with shopping around and cheaping out. Just buy it and enjoy.

Before I begin take note: requires some skill to setup.Photos are: the packaging and the timer it comes with.The system itself is stupid simple but there are fine print specifics that make it a rather delicate process. It works flawlessly and is super quiet when set up properly. My other option was for the cheaper one by ZooMed, very pleased I shelled out the extra cash in many ways. First of all the ZooMed's does have some history of breaking down after a while where as MistKing stays true to it's name. I have tried ZooMed in the past but it broke down as reviews said it would. Returned it to petco then found MistKing, running strong like new a month now. I can not recommend MistKing any more highly. Another nice touch is they have repair parts as if its a car! Well done MistKing.Pro tip: to perform at it's best, use distilled water and install the pump vertical (you can read the writing without tilting your head lol). I say vertical because it'll reduce strain on the pump and run quieter. It's a tough pump so you can have it in any config but I recommend vertical.

On the pricy side you can make your own version buying these things all separate however I’m all about convenience and this kit is that everything you need and works very well a little tedious installing the lines since they tend to leak if not cut flush I found it easier to cut them and then take sand paper and sand the end of the cut flush and smooth then use a pen or something to shove in the end of the tube hole to ever so slightly expand it this will ensure a snug fit and no leaks my chameleon loves it and can run dry but will have to be burped after if ran dry keep in mind

Nice fine mist,timer is easy to set. I was getting about 12 drips after the system shut off. The basic kit doesn't come with the zipdrip, that helps prevent dripping . I added that and now only get 3 drips. This keeps the cage bottom dry. When I move my set up across the room and shorten tubing I may not get any dripping. The mistking is the best misting system on the market. Just watch YouTube reviews it is reliable.

This is a nice kit if you're never put together a misting system. It comes with all the parts, a good pump and decent instructions. However, the timer is way too convoluted to program. I did get it done, but the first day I pumped the entire container out because I inadvertently had set a starting time for one of the 8 programs. That was enough for me. I took the timer out of the system and got a little WiFi outlet that can be automated with an easy to use app. Works great.
