All lines are secured and pushed in as far as it will go

ok so something is off.. Take pics... Let me see how the reservoir is set up. How much like are you running from the reservoir to the pump?

 

[Kamikaze Chameleon]

So this usually just sits on the floor while the reservoir is next it sitting on a stool

Ive tried wiping the nozzles with vinegar...it still only sprays for a second

So I do not have this one.... I don't know how yours hooks up. Mine does not have that adaptor on the inflow side.

That is the zipdrip valve

And they said to install it on the inflow side? I do not know anything about them. Email Mistking and find out. Maybe it was supposed to go on the outflow side of the pump. So that it stops the flow when it turns off?

 

[Kamikaze Chameleon]

So i unplugged everything and just started over from scratch WHATA RELIEF! IT WORKS!!!

Thanks for putting up with me and helping!...

I didn't understand the point of that extra feature.
I mean... I'm misting the enclosure to (in part) provide dripping water for the cham to drink, so why do I care if the nozzles drip a couple of extra drops?

That's a good point i never thought of that Well I did get it working again but my only guess, in response, sitting water can harbor bacteria? so I guess maybe a little more sanitary? Obviously also depends on what water you use, I use filtered water, dont have an RO system although that's the next thing on my list.

 

[Mrjamwin]

See what happens when you...

It works. I'll see myself out now.

Any sitting water is in the drain pan—not the nozzle assemblies, which are flushed several times a day.
I'm using distilled water, as it's more easily available (especially in these times). Around here, RO & distilled are pretty close to the same cost.

The zip drip removes the water in the lines that lead to the nozzels... that's what i was talking about lol normaly you would have that water still in there.
