I was using a brita water filter for my water, but I guess it wasn't enough. What's the easiest way to clean a clogged MistKing?

You can run a little vinegar through your system to try and clear it up. Check out AquaZamp.Com he has some nice filtering stuff that can improve your system and keep it nice and clean!

R.O. is the way to go. I was using bottled R.O. water for a while and my rig worked like the day I set it up, but as soon as my cham collection grew I switched to tap water and my nozzels cloged. Now I'm saving up for a no waste R.O. system. I recently bought a years supply of replacment nozzles from Marty, now I'm set.

I use the AquaZamp RO/Misting system unit, all in one, with internet control. My AquaZamp nozzles have never clogged. In the past to clean out my Herp Mist and Mist king nozzles, I would soak the nozzles in CLR over a day or two.... then run them under water for a good long rinse... and even then soak them in just water to dilute any CLR left behind, it's good to change the water a couple of times to ensure nothing is left behind.
And another way to clean nozzles is to run RO water through them. The RO water will absorb the deposits on and in the nozzle

I'm not seeing it either.
I clean all my nozzles the same way. I have made some of my own and they have not clogged either.

So Mist King nozzles tend to clog? I hear a lot of people saying theirs do...

im not sure because mine isnt here yet, but i think it depends on what kind of water you use.
i hope not though.

Hmmm, you'll have to get back to me on that one. I'm leaning toward the Aquazamp anyway.

I've used 6 or 7 mist king nozzles and only 1 clogged on me and that was my own fault. It was a piece of something that got into the line and blocked the nozzle. I do have some mineral deposits on some of the nozzles, and routine cleaning helps...although I noticed clr works better than vinegar (just my opinion).
Yes, I'll have something for Pomona for sure. If you use tap water minerals will build up and things will get clogged up. Use RO and you'll never run into trouble.
just an FYI, we're coming up with our own nozzle tip. Still in the last stages of tweaking moulds at this time. The tefen tips just have too many rejects. I have been fighting with them for years. Out of a 1000 tips I end up routinely throwing out probably 30%. I am hoping to have a more consistant mist characteristics, while still keeping the low flow rate. Coming soon!
