Eco Terra Monsoon Nozzle Problem?

[Matthew G]

Hey I just got a monsoon and one of the nozzles doesn't spray. I have tried switching out the screw in spray part but it still doesn't work. Can anyone help me fix it.

Unfortunately, Monsoons are crap! If you can take it back, I would. I have one and am on my third unit because the timers eventually quit working and will spray whenever and for however long they want! So even with all those extra nozzles, I have four left that barely work. I am saving to get an aquazamp in the near future.

I don't really know of an effective way to unclog the nozzle. If you can force water through it somehow with a syringe? You can't really do anything with the hole because that will screw it up as well.

The problem is that it will be a while before i can get a mistking or aquazamp.

Soak it overnight in vinegar.

Soak it in vinegar, and contact ExoTerra to see if they'll send you out a new one if the vinegar doesn't help.

I had same issue

I had same issue when I received my monsoon Use a bread tie. Strip off the paper and the wire is small enough to open the hole at the end of the nozzle

I had the same problem with mine. I used a thread needle to open it up. You can use a thumbtack too.

Thank you so much. The vinegar worked! What I did was I soaked te nozzles in vinegar and lightly brushed the nozzle with a wire brush.

what are everyones feelings on a mistking system?

Mistking is the go to choice for most people on this forum, that and aquazamp. Can't go wrong with either one, both made excellent and will last a long time

i accidentally put the wrong setting on my mistking timer, it ran dry for like 40min and i thought i killed it haha, but it still runs like new, very well-built

what are everyones feelings on a mistking system?

i am a recent new owner of a mistking and absolutely love it. In the past I would manually mist all my chameleons several times a day and now with work and daily life don't really have time to do that anymore. The mist king takes care of it. I have a 4ft x 2ft x 2ft and the mist king with one nozzle starter setup seems to be more than enough.

Looks like I'll be getting a mistaking setup but I am also looking for help on getting a tree established in my new habitat I'm looking for something a little more exotic looking than a ficus or money tree any advice?
