I still love how mine is running it has been around 2 months now and I haven't had to do anything to it. I am very happy so far. The wiring is not hard at all. If you get the stuff I will help you with it just IM me if you need help. If your mister is declining it either needs cleaning or it will be going soon. The ease of the way I have mine is awesome NO CLEANING just change a filter once a year (not sure how long haven't figured that out yet) Anyway thanks for the compliment if you have questions or need help figuring out the electrical hit me I am always willing to help.
I think I may have been a little too thorough on my post. I am getting no response from anyone. Or people just don't like it. So thanks for letting me know you like what I have done it helps.

Awesome. I've gotta follow this, too! It's a few steps ahead of where I am, but I'm headed this way. Building a new fruiting room with a friend before spring.
Thanks, SHROOMSISAY01!

I am going to read and watch the videos. So far I'm digging this. I won't sacrifice my gas high powered pressure washer but I'll totally buy a smaller electric washer if I decide to go this route someday. Thank you for taking time to type this up and show us your work.

Check out my post on 55-gallon automatic steam sterilizer you will need one of them too.
Here is the electrical diagram...
I use a float valve so I don't have to keep filling it. I set it and come back the next day and unpack.

Another brilliant guide. 
Do you use a GFCI socket for yours?
I'm going to make a "dumb" version by just using the pressure switch for water and a timer like this to run it for 20 seconds every 10 mins or so.. I've seen a lot of the bigger farms still prefer timers as apposed to humidity controllers, I'll start there and see how it goes. Any suggestions? Is 20 seconds too long, you think it's better to run it more frequently for a shorter period?
How's yours running so far?

Yes, I use a GFCI. That timer should work too.
Everyone set up will be different because your room size will be different and the position and number of nozzles will be different also. So you will just have to play with it.
Mine is running great no problems yet. The pond foggers only lasted me about 3 to 4 months at $400 each so I am ahead of the game even if it only lasts 6 months I have the replacement plan so I can get the pump replaced. and the mushrooms like it much better. Everyone said it could not be done with a pressure washer I am glad I did not listen. I don't know if I am smart or stupid for trying it. But it is working so I am happy.

I grow about 30 lbs of amycle 3015 oyster mushrooms a week with this. The only problem I have had is twice I have had to clean out a mist nozzle. Actually, I just switched it out and dropped the stoped up one in vinegar. I should probably get a 1-micron filter and not have to worry about it anymore.

The shipping/duties for this adapter is nearly $50 for me..
Could I not use this one with a coupling instead, then the slip lock will go into the coupling, or am I missing something?

I'm not going to be using a Sun Joe, shipping stuff that size to me is too expensive.
I figured I could just get whatever pressure washer I could find locally, as long as it had an M22 connector for the hose?

I really don't see why you couldn't forgo most of your relays and adapters and all that and just go straight from the pressure washer to the misters. You only really need to adapt the pressure washer hose end to your mister bar fittings, whatever that may be depending on the model. Maybe you would need a valve to close on the mister bar so that the water isn't always running through the misters from tap water pressure when the washer isn't running?

The setup is dope, is the white tub for extraction of co2 or what is it for?

You don't have to use the adapters or any of the stuff I suggest. If you don't mind it not working or if you want to blow up a pipe behind a wall in your house because you have 1500 psi on your pipes. Everyone enjoys calling a plumber at 3 o'clock in the morning for a flood.
You can not just hook up the pressure washer to the line with the nozzles. I explained all this in the tek. If you hook it up that way the pressure washer will cycle on and off because not enough water is going through the pressure washer to make it think it is being used. That is the reason for the ball valve so just enough water is cycling through it to make it think you are power washing. If all that had to be done is hook up a pressure washer to a mist line everyone would be doing it that way. But that does not work or won't work long before you burn up the pressure washer.
The reason I cannot leave out the relays is that the humidity controller is only 10 amps and the pressure washer is over 13 amps if I did not use a relay I would burn up the humidity sensor. I did the math $6 for the relay and $50 for the humidity sensor. I am pretty sure it is better to spend $6 and protect the $50 dollar, controller. The other relay is to reverse the way the pressure switch works. You do not have to have a pressure switch but you will burn up the pressure washer if you lose water for some reason. So my thought is to spend another $6 so my $75 pressure washer is saved if I lose water pressure. Remember you can change things up and leave things out if you want to. This is just how I decided to do things.

I am assuming you are talking about the white pvc in the middle of the room in the video. If so that is just existing house pipe it really has nothing to do with the grow room except being a pain. The 2nd video shows how I exhaust the air and bring in the fresh air. I use a passive system which means I only have a fan on the exhaust and the fresh air is drawn in by the same exhaust.
