Cool. If you recall, I did not go the solenoid/tank route.

However, hpa worked when ambient temps and RH were within range, which is only the case here ~ 4 months a year, so it wasn't feasible year-round

Consider me interested

Yeah the main misting system has been under development for the last 18 months with the main focus of reliability But of course, things can fail, so i'm in the process of wrapping it into a product that incorporates all the safety features you guys would want without over engineering it and introducing unnecessary costs.

My first port of call to reduce costs and increase the value of the product was to eliminate the entire housing of the aeroponic system and sell just the heart of the technology for people to easily adapt into their aeroponic system. This reduces alot of bulk and weight which lowers shipping cost (and many other benefits). Unfortunately I'm not 100% sure if people like the idea of having to supply their own aeroponic housing system, but it means I can offer cutting edge technology at an affordable price.

Also everyone has stressed reliability and peace of mind as their main desires, which totally proves why true aeroponics is not very popular, but if I was to over engineer the shit out of this product and it was theoretically guaranteed 100% running time without faults, how much would that be worth?

This is a great idea. Lowes/HD etc have some very large totes which are readily adaptable, which is what I did

Simplicity and ease of use are my main criteria. Cost is another.

Couldn't get me to use a system like that even if it was free but there's lots of techno-geeks out there that might like it.

Hope you make millions selling it as selling pot for profit is going the way of the dodo bird. :)

:peace:
