The Mist Maker Humidifier is an ultrasonic device designed to generate a fine, cool mist that increases the ambient humidity without altering the temperature of the space. It is the ideal tool for maintaining a balanced environment in indoor crops, propagators and grow rooms.
Its ultrasonic system transforms water into micro-droplets by means of high frequency vibration, creating a visible and homogeneous mist. This mist favours foliar absorption, prevents water stress and improves root and leaf development at all stages of the crop.
The Mist Maker is available in two models that adapt to the dimensions and needs of each crop:
Both models share the same ultrasonic technology and high-frequency ceramic materials, ensuring quiet, efficient and long-lasting operation.
The manufacturer recommends using ordinary tap water, as the Mist Maker's level sensor needs a certain electrical conductivity to work properly.
If you use water that is too pure (distilled or 100% osmosis filtered), the sensor may not detect the level properly and the equipment may run dry, causing damage to the membranes. To achieve a perfect balance, the ideal is to mix 80-90 % distilled water + 10-20 % tap water. This reduces limescale, maintains conductivity and extends the lifetime of the device.
The lifetime of the Mist Maker depends on water quality, frequency of use and maintenance. The ceramic membranes are wear parts: they become less effective over time due to ultrasonic vibration, but they can be easily cleaned or replaced.
| Condition of use | Average membrane life | Average life of the equipment |
|---|---|---|
| Hard tap water, without cleaning | 1 - 3 months | 6 - 12 months |
| Mixed water (distilled + tap) with regular cleaning | 6 - 12 months or longer | 1.5 - 3 years |
| Ultra pure water (sensor failure) or dry use | Risk of immediate failure | Possible damage within days |
To keep the equipment in optimal condition:
| Model | No. of membranes | Approximate coverage | Power | Recommended use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mist Maker 1 membrane | 1 | Up to 0.5 m² | 18 - 20 W | Propagators and small cabinets |
| Mist Maker 5 membranes | 5 | Up to 2 - 3 m² | 80 - 100 W | Medium sized grow rooms and automated humidification |
Mist Maker humidifiers are a benchmark in indoor growing for their reliability, low power consumption and ease of use. They offer an instant and homogeneous mist that maintains constant humidity, helping plants to develop healthily throughout the cycle.
Their compact design, timer compatibility and low maintenance make them a practical solution for both novice growers and those looking for precise environmental control.

Does it work with sea water?

Hi, thanks for your comment and question. It is not recommended to use sea water in these units as the salt in the water will clog up the internal components and corrode any metal parts. Best wishes and happy growing.

Hello, i just bought a mist maker and i wanted to ask: I've found a solution using arduino to have a constant hygro !! This is really cool and really woking well, but the mist maker is working about 30seconds every 1mn30. Can this damage my mist maker or power supply?

Hello,
As long as it has water in it, it should not be damaged.
Best!
