Having a problem with my mistking

Ok, I set it all up without drips, or anything of that nature. I plugged in the pump, To the Timer system. Set the timer on auto. Now I'm waiting impatiently for the water.
Please Help
 
Note that there are three settings for the timer: ON, OFF, and AUTO. AUTO is used when you have setup a program and adjusted times accordingly, OFF is OFF, should be self explanatory, and ON is a manual setting that turns the pump on and overrides the programming of AUTO settings. There should be an instruction manual on the timers use to assist if you have further questions. If not let me know and I would be able to walk you through setup. Good luck and as always post pics when you are done with the setup ;))

I sure will and thanks!!
 
There will be 8 ( I think) slots that you can set for timing. Each one will have an ON and an OFF. Hit program, and it should take you to setting number 1. Set the desired time you want the misting to start. Then hit program again, that should be the timer slot for OFF for setting 1. Do this for each setting you need, just make sure you keep track of AM and PM. You don't want to accidentally turn it on at 7am and off at 7:05 pm. ;) When you"re done setting your time slots, go back and double check your settings. You don't want to have an on time without an off time. You can see all the settings by hitting the program button repeatedly, until you see all the time settings. It'll go back to the time position on it's own in a few seconds, or you can hit the clock button. Don't forget to leave it in AUTO position, you do that with the ON/Off button. 1st it clicks to on, then off, then auto. You want it on auto.
I think that's all there is to it, I set mine a while ago, so if I'm forgetting something someone please correct me.
 
quick add on ? it says mon,tue.wed.thur,friday, sat. sun.I Selected that particular Option. And I made sure to set the times correctly . Am I good to go ???
 
The Pump Is Cold But Needs a green and red light.. I Have a tube going in the --> arrow, For enclosure 1, and for enclosure 2--> in the arrow So I have 2 bins of water.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. But, the way to set up for 2 cages, is by using a T fitting on the line that comes from the pump and goes to the misthead. One side of the pump goes to your clean water, and the other side goes to your misthead.
 
And I put the T flang On the Pump, Added both Lines, To The First arrow On the pump. what do I have to do with the other side Of the pump??
 
That's an easy fix. Home depot or Menards, whatever big box hardware store by you, should have them with the reverse osmosis water fittings. They're usually made by Watts. You want the 1/4 by 1/4 OD (outside diameter) T. I'll take a picture of one of the ones I have so you know what you're looking for. :)
 
Just a quick heads up: If you ever need to disconnect a tube from one of the quick connect fittings, PUSH DOWN on the collar as you're pulling the tube out, or you'll break the fitting. They're kind of like the finger trap toys, you have to push down to get the lock to release, and at the same time pull the tube.
Also, during set up, push the tubes in until you feel them seat. Sometimes they'll feel like they're in, but they'll spray water. You have to make sure they're all the way in.

This is what I found at Menards, here's a link to Home Depot:

Thanks Melissa B, I found out the Hard way, Still soaking water with towels.
 
One side of the pump gets connected with tubing to the fill bucket. The other side goes to your T fitting and hoses to your cage mistheads. Do you have your fill bucket with the bulkhead piece set up? That's the piece that has a round washer and nut that connects your hose to the pump.
