I believe it will keep my garden in humid and make the highland species grow in more favorable conditions. Furthermore, it will lighten my mother's burden to show my plants everday since all my plants are kept in my hometown. How's the price? Thanks a lot for your precious information. ding « Last Edit: Oct 14, 2007, 1:31pm by ding »Link to Post - Back to Top 116.197.210.72 tarence Global Moderator member is offline Joined: Apr 2007 Gender: Male Posts: 1,523 Location: Bandar Kinrara , Puchong Re: Automatic Water Mister « Reply #1 on Oct 14, 2007, 6:13pm » Khairi can prob help you as he has made his own auto plant watering device using a spare part from a washing machine, a timer & a tap/water source. i`ll ask him to write something here when he`s free from the Raya festivities.

I really don't have a spare part from a washing machine and I am not likely to be getting one either. I'll have to go out and have look for some before next year, but with Christmas it is hard to find time to do that, so that is why I am asking.

The above setup is really good using a 'high pressure' pump. If you are doing a lot of mist nozzles or need really fine mist this is the best way to go! Although a bit expensive. I use a low-pressure system (normal water mains pressure, same as your hose) hooked up to PE (Poly Ethylene) [black plastic] pipe and low-pressure mist nozzles. They are quite a bit cheaper to set up and work just fine for me. I don't have any pictures handy, but if you need them just tell me and I'll shoot some. They sell single mist nozzles and also a 4-way mist nozzle unit. Go with the larger size pipe if unsure because as you add nozzles you need a higher flow rate. A great plus is that when I turn it on the temperature in the surrounding area seems to drop about 2-4 degrees almost immediately. I'll have to convert prices but 30mm PE pipe cost me about 18 Baht (US$0.58)/meter in 100 meter rolls. The nozzles are about 50 Baht (US$ 1.87) each and the 4-way is about 4 times the price. The micro tubing (6-8mm) is cheap. And the little connectors are also only pennies. Link to Post - Back to Top 203.170.150.155 |
