Pump size recommendations for misting system?
    #21886461 - 07/02/15 05:47 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hey guys,

I need to install a small misting system in my Martha as trays seem to be drying out a little.
It only needs to be small with about 2 - 3 misting nozzles.
I intend to run it from my humidifiers reservoir via a submersible water pump, but I have no idea what size pump I will need

Is anyone able to help?

Do you already have ultrasonic?  I think that would be better suited for your Martha.  I have only seen misters in commercial setups since they are more complicated.

I second that motion. Misters need high pressure and can clog easily. you can pick up a ultrasonic off amazon or ebay for $9-12. If you have a kal cool mist you can install the ultrasonic inside the cool mist, just drill a hole and glue the included rubber grommet in place.

I have a homemade humidibucket which is essentially an ultrasonic. That combined with a tray of slightly damp perlite at the bottom keeps humidity between 95% and 99% easily. System is automated so if humidity drops below 95% it will switch on the humidifier and switch off at 99%.

Not sure why trays are drying out. Maybe my system needs some more tweaking. :strokebeard:

Ultrasonics are great, but misting is hard to beat no matter what size setup you've got. Maybe check the petstore for a reptile mister setup. Could just steal the specs. from it or most big box hardware stores have simple mister rigs for patios you could get for cheap.

Agreed. If I was to mist id use tap water with a digital timer valve. Get the good brass nozzles not the plastic drip irrigation nozzles, they make more of a spray vs a fog with the brass nozzles.
