Usage Instructions

• Inspect the Parts: Remove the contents and check for damage; contact Zoo Med right away if parts are missing or damaged.

• Choose a Sprayer Option: Use the main rotating nozzle, or close it and open the remote valve to use the remote hose.
• Position Remote Nozzles: Clip remote nozzles in place, always positioned above the main unit to prevent a siphon draining the reservoir.
• Power It Up: With the switch off, plug the adapter into the D.C. 6.0V port and a surge-protected socket.

Additional Information

Precautions

• Keep Mist Off Electrics: Never point the sprayer toward an electrical outlet, bulb, heating device, or other electrical appliance.
• Use a Drip Loop: Keep the lowest point of the cord below the socket so water cannot run down into the outlet.
• Protect the Vents: If mounted inside, do not set the unit on the cage bottom, where substrate could clog its vents.
• Mount Outside When Needed: Mount it outside the cage for birds, small animals that could reach the vents, or extremely humid terrariums.
• Water Care: Do not overfill or submerge the unit, and avoid using tap water unless it has been treated with ReptiSafe.
• Batteries and Timers: Remove batteries when using a timer or humidistat, or the unit will keep running when switched off.
• Avoid Drafty Areas: Do not spray in drafty areas, especially when misting bird cages or aviaries from outside.

Storage Information

• Remove Batteries: Remove the batteries if the Repti Rain will not be used for an extended period.
• Empty and Dry: Empty the reservoir and let the unit and hoses dry before storing them in a cool, dry place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How much water does the Repti Rain hold?

Ans: The reservoir holds 28 fluid ounces of water and has an external level indicator. Zoo Med recommends using distilled or bottled water to help prevent the lines and fittings from clogging with hard water deposits and you should not overfill it.

Q2: How do I program the misting schedule?

Ans: The upper knob sets the spray interval, so the unit mists every 1, 3, 6, or 12 hours. The lower knob sets the spray duration to 15, 30, 45, or 60 seconds—for example, a setting of 3 mists once every three hours.

Q3: Can I mist two terrariums at once?

Ans: Yes. Use the Dual Remote Sprayer Hose and run one sprayer nozzle into each enclosure, securing it with the clip provided. Zoo Med notes the remote nozzles must always be positioned above the main unit to prevent a siphon from draining the reservoir.

Q4: Can I use the Repti Rain for birds?

Ans: Yes. The Repti Rain is ideal for misting pet canaries, parakeets, parrots, and other birds on a regular schedule. For bird cages and aviaries, always mount the unit outside the cage to prevent birds from tampering with it, and avoid drafty areas.

Q5: Can I use it with a timer?

Ans: Yes. You can plug the Repti Rain into a timer set to run during the daytime only, to prevent misting at night. When using a timer or humidistat, remove the batteries, or the unit will keep running after the timer switches it off.

Q6: What should I do if the nozzle gets clogged?

Ans: Over time, hard water deposits can clog the spray nozzle. Unscrew the nozzle, soak it in vinegar for 30 to 60 minutes, scrub it with a brush to remove loose debris, and rinse it well with water. Distilled or bottled water helps prevent clogs.

Q7: What warranty comes with the Repti Rain?

Ans: Zoo Med guarantees the Repti Rain against manufacturing and parts defects for one year from the date of purchase, and a receipt is required. The warranty does not cover clogged lines or fittings, or damage caused by animals. Replacement parts are available from Zoo Med.
