COMMON SENSE
Misting system is a device
that sprays water. Like with
any other water appliance,
parts may break, burst, leak, etc.
Ensure you always rely on your
good design and common sense
and not your product. Drainage
capacity should ALWAYS be larger
than your reservoir misting capacity.
In case of trouble the worst that
will happen is that you will over mist
and possibly run the pump dry. Don’t worry, our equipment can run
dry without problems and if properly set up, it will start misting as soon as
you add water. Remember, water and electricity don’t mix. Do not mist onto
your other electrical appliances and keep your reservoir away from receptacles
plugs and power bars. Install GFI outlets where necessary and provide drains where possible.
These are must know before you start.
1. DO NOT try to siphon water into the pump, DO NOT install the pump above the reservoir
or it will not prime properly 100% of the time. Even if it works, it's not the way to do it.
Install the reservoir bulkhead with 1-2ft leading to the pump. Always gravity feed water
to the pump. Read more about a proper design below.
2. DO NOT force fittings apart or rip tubing out of the fitting. Very easy to take them apart,
press on the collet and gently pull. They will not come out simply by pulling apart. See
this video if you don’t know how http://www.mistking.com/RemovingTubing.html
3. Don’t ever unscrew the tip of the nozzle when you receive the system. We test them
twice so they come fully functional. If it’s not working, it’s probably something with the
setup and not the misting assembly. Touching the delicate cone in the middle of the
misting nozzle will alter the spray pattern and possibly damage the spray. Be careful and
don’t touch the center !
4. Remember that misting assemblies are for high pressure application and have a check
valve built in. You cannot blow through the nozzle. Even if you could blow through it, the
flow is so little you would not feel it.
5. When connecting tubing to fittings or pump don’t take shortcuts. Use fresh utility
knife/blade or MistKing cutter to make perfect cuts. Never use scissors or anything that
will pinch the tubing before cutting.
6. Push the tubing into the fitting. Sometimes it will feel like it already connected, but if you
turn on the pump and connection leaks, push harder until the tubing passes the o-ring
and makes a proper seal.
GOOD DESIGN.
In order to have a properly configured system there are few things to keep in mind. Most are
outlined in previous 6 points. Remember you need a bit of finesse and this is not like plugging
in a toaster. If you do not follow the steps you will have a poor install so understanding the
basics is very valuable. It will save you time, so connect it right!
Always remember that this is a water appliance and treat it as such. Take proper precautions in
order to avoid mishaps. We don’t ship reservoirs with our systems as you can buy one for just a
few dollars at any hardware store. Painter’s buckets work great, have lids, large capacity and
are food safe. You can also use any reservoir you wish that fits into your design.
You absolutely must install a reservoir bulkhead into your reservoir. It’s a matter of drilling a
hole and screwing in the bulkhead. Once that is done, plug in the tubing and always gravity
feed water to the pump.
WHY DON’T YOU WANT TO INSTALL PUMP ABOVE THE RESERVOIR ?
This is something that we are answering all the time as most really want to mount the pump
high. Having the pump above the reservoir is just not what you want in a misting system.
Here’s Why:
-You never have water available instantly when you need it. If you have the pump above
the reservoir you first need to suck up the water to the pump, then mist. Always gravity
feed and be ready to mist right away!
-All our nozzle tips contain a check valve, meaning that they will stop majority of the
dripping right at the nozzle after the misting. This is a great feature but makes it more
difficult for the pump to self prime when the pump is above the reservoir.
-Remember, the pump does not act as a valve. If you have the pump above the reservoir,
water from the lines can drain over the hours between spraying, leaving a pump full of
air. This makes it even more difficult (or impossible!) to self prime.
-Always, gravity feed water to the pump for years of worry free service!

DISSASSEMBLINGH THE NOZZLE OR FITTINGS
We already mentioned that all fittings and tubing can easily be removed. Never force them
apart, press on the collet (ring around the tubing) and pull gently while the ring is pressed.
Watch this video to see how it's done http://www.mistking.com/RemovingTubing.html
PROGRAMMING THE TIMER
We are constantly contacted regarding the
programming needs for your specific application. If
you’re misting plants or animals be sure to research
misting and humidity requirements in your favourite
online community. Keep an eye on things and
adjust your settings as needed. Remember to plug
in the timer, charge it for a few hrs and press reset
with a pen while plugged in. Then use the timer as
per the included instructions.
INSTALLING A MISTING SYSTEM
Now that you have learned how to properly use the nozzles, how to unlock the tubing or fittings,
here are the steps to put the misting system together.
STEP 1. Install the reservoir bulkhead, shown by the red arrow. For detailed instructions on
how to do install the bulkhead refer to BULKHEAD INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS further
down .
STEP 2. Identify which version of a misting system you have. Blue arrows identify the
direction of the water flow.
