Best misting system to run from a reservoir
    #21137471 - 01/18/15 10:19 AM (9 years, 3 months ago)

I'm almost finished with my grow room, about to install my humidity and air exchange systems.  I don't have access to running water in the bottom of my barn so I was thinking about installing a mist king system and running it from a reservoir tank. http://www.mistking.com/home.php?cat=249

Looks promising, but I'm worried about introducing stagnant water from a tank and potentially introducing contaminants.  I've seen fogging systems as well, but I want something a little heftier for my growing space.. mists seem ideal.

Any other growers have advice for a mist system sans plumbing?  my wet room is just over 200 square feet FWIW.

I'm using a misting system for my 200 square feet grow room/greenhouse. It does a good job humidifying the space. I think it's important to have a mid to high pressure 300-1,000 psi for a good fog. You should also use a filter. Maybe a air pump to keep the water from going stagnant.

Mine is a mid pressure system 300 psi. Marathon motor 1/3 hp with an procon pump head, .008 nozzles heads.

Can you post some pics of your setup? I'm looking into a reservoir misting & fogging system in my new grow space that will have everything but running water. I've got a few of those marathon motors laying around. I'm thinking about building a 55 gallon humidibucket with a fogger, and also using the 55 gallon tank as the reservoir for the misting system. I'd just have to fill the tank every once in a while.

Mine is hooked up to running water but when I was setting it up I did test it with a reservoir so I know it will work.

Which procon pump are you using? I can't seem to find one that goes over 250psi.

I'm running mine at 300psi but I should probably be using it at 250psi. You can adjust pressure on the pump with the pressure screw.
