MistKing ULTIMATE Misting System v5.0 | Vivarium Misting Kit

The MK ULTIMATE Misting System v5.0 is a complete, modular automated misting solution built for reptile and amphibian keepers who need consistent, reliable humidity control. Equally at home in a chameleon vivarium, a bioactive dart frog setup, or a planted terrarium, it is trusted by zoos, botanical gardens, and serious hobbyists worldwide. The pump is powerful enough to run up to 20 nozzles simultaneously, making it a system that grows with your collection rather than one you outgrow.

What's in the kit

• 24V DC misting pump — capable of supporting up to 20 nozzles, with vibration-dampening rubber feet and adapted for 1/4" tubing
• 3 Value T misting assemblies with check-valved spray tips producing an average droplet size of approximately 50 microns
• ZipDrip Valve with 1/4" fittings to eliminate post-mist drip entirely
• Digital Seconds Timer ST-24 with instructions
• 25 feet of 1/4" black opaque tubing
• 1/4" manual ball valve for manual override
• Reservoir bulkhead with O-ring and plug
• 10 tubing clips with screws
• Tubing cutter with collet tool
• "T" connector for splitting tubing runs
• "L" connector for sharp 90-degree tubing turns
• Cable Y-connector for running the ZipDrip valve and pump from a single timer output
• Pump power adapter
• Reference manual

The pump

The 24V DC pump is custom-manufactured and has been extensively field- and factory-tested for reliability. It operates at very low failure rates and — critically — can run dry without damage, which matters in any setup where the reservoir might occasionally empty between refills. Vibration-dampening rubber feet keep operation quiet and reduce wear.

Nozzles and drip control

Each of the three included misting assemblies features a check-valved spray tip that significantly reduces post-mist dripping on its own. The ZipDrip Valve goes further, eliminating residual drip entirely — a meaningful detail for enclosures with substrate that can't tolerate oversaturation. Nozzles are fully adjustable in any direction and can be securely mounted to surfaces up to 1.5cm thick. The misting assembly design is patented.

Timer and control

The included ST-24 Digital Seconds Timer allows precise misting schedules timed in seconds rather than minutes, giving you accurate control over humidity cycles throughout the day. The manual ball valve provides a straightforward override for maintenance or spot-adjustments without disturbing the timer programming.

Modular by design

The MK ULTIMATE Misting System v5.0 is built as a modular platform — additional nozzles, tubing, and accessories can be added as your enclosure count increases, up to the 20-nozzle maximum the pump supports. Please note: a reservoir is not included with this kit and will need to be sourced separately.

For keepers running chameleons, tropical amphibians, or bioactive vivariums where humidity consistency directly affects animal health, this system removes the guesswork and delivers repeatable results every time.
