REPTI ZOO Automatic Misting System, mini, adjustable spray nozzles

The box holds the REPTI ZOO mini reptile misting system main unit and an instruction manual, and the unit has to be paired with a water container you supply yourself. Two 360° rotatable nozzles sit on the spray head, their angles adjustable, so the spray can be aimed at a chosen spot inside the enclosure. The body is black plastic and measures 3 x 6.6 x 11.4 cm, which keeps it small enough to hang on the outside of a tank.

What the misting unit does and how the nozzles aim

The unit produces a spray meant to imitate natural rainfall inside an enclosure. Each of the two nozzles turns through 360°, and the spraying angles can be adjusted, so the direction of the spray is set by hand rather than fixed at the factory.

A smart timing function runs the spray on a regular cycle. The spray head is built for tropical rainforest setups, and the brand lists mosses, orchids, pineapples, chameleons and red-eyed tree frogs among the plants and animals it suits.

What comes in the box

• The main misting unit, moulded in black plastic
• An instruction manual for setting up and running the unit

No water tank is part of the package. A separate container has to be provided, and the unit works with any water container chosen for the job.

Fitting it to a terrarium

The unit is designed to sit on the outside of a terrarium. It can be fixed there with the bracket hook, or with the suction cup, depending on which fixing suits the enclosure wall.

Because the water container is supplied separately, the container and the pump connection need to be in place before the unit can run. The dimensions of 3 x 6.6 x 11.4 cm (1.2 x 2.6 x 4.5 in) give the space the unit itself takes up on the outside of the tank.

Putting the misting system to work

Fix the unit to the outside of the terrarium using the bracket hook or the suction cup, then connect it to the water container you have chosen. Set the smart timing function so the spray repeats on a regular cycle, and turn the two nozzles to the angles wanted inside the enclosure.
