- Always unplug the unit before filling, cleaning, or performing any maintenance.
- Do not immerse the main unit in water.
- Use only clean, distilled, or reverse osmosis (RO) water to prevent mineral buildup and ensure optimal performance.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Inspect the power cord and plug regularly for any damage. Do not operate if damaged.
Setup Instructions
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from the packaging. Verify that all included components are present: main unit, power adapter, black water pipe, pipe cutter, copper filter head, plug, and spray nozzle components.
- Connect Water Pipe: Insert one end of the black water pipe into the designated outlet on the main unit. Ensure a secure connection.
- Install Nozzles: Attach the spray nozzle components to the water pipe at desired locations within your terrarium. The nozzles feature a 360-degree rotation capability for multi-angle adjustment. Use the included suction cups to secure nozzles to the terrarium walls. The system can support up to 20 nozzles simultaneously.
- Fill Water Tank: The integrated 10L water tank can be refilled directly through the water inlet on the top of the main unit without removing the water bucket. Fill with clean, distilled, or RO water. The visual water level design allows for easy monitoring.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your REPTI ZOO TR05 Mister Fogger.
- Water Tank Cleaning: Clean the water tank frequently to prevent bacterial growth and mineral buildup. Unplug the unit, empty any remaining water, and wipe the interior with a soft cloth. For stubborn mineral deposits, use a mild descaling solution (e.g., diluted white vinegar) and rinse thoroughly.
- Nozzle Cleaning: If nozzles become clogged or spray unevenly, gently remove them and soak in a descaling solution. Use a soft brush to clear any blockages. Rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
- Filter Maintenance: Periodically check the copper filter head for debris. Clean or replace as necessary to maintain optimal water flow and prevent pump strain.
- Storage: If storing the unit for an extended period, ensure the water tank is completely empty and dry. Store in a cool, dry place.
