Misting System

[pacman]

I need help I cant find any ways easy and do you think I could find a 50 psi water pump any suggestions because I am gone every weekend!!! help!!!

When you say you are gone every weekend, exactly when do you leave and when do you return? If it means that you have to miss a single day's (or even two's) misting, it's probably not a big deal if there is a moisture source in the terrarium.

As for the pump, I don't really know. If it were me I would start by doing a search on google for 50 psi and water pump.

I know this might seem obvious but have you considered a small commercial mister/fogger?

[pacman]

[John]

What does it do/not do?

50 PSI (pounds per square inch) is a pretty hefty pump! 50 PSI is almost the pressure your household tap water is at. The maximum allowable static head pressure on a residential plumbing system is 85 PSI... At this pressure, you would require a minimum of 3/8 inch schedule 40 PVC piping Are you certain that is what you need?!?!

I suspect perhaps you meant a 50 GPM (gallons per minute) pump. These are very inexpensive, and can be purchased at any DIY store, pond shop, or well stocked pet shop for 30 USD or less. Multiple inlet outlet formats are available. Personally, I prefer the ones that have 1/2 NPT inlets and outlets, as these are easiest to rig tubing to with very nice looking "Prestolok" push to fit fittings.

Another advantage to these pumps is their small size and quiet operation. In addition, these can be plugged into a standard lamp timer for intermittent operation.
