Default Mist King Turned my Vivarium into an Aquarium

I always write great reviews about Mist King on every forum, but recently I've been having huge issues with the system. I ended up siphoning water out of my vivarium last week because I noticed the entire drainage layer filled with water. At first I thought it was all my fault that I must've not paid attention and have been over watering for the past few months.

Tonight I came home to my surprise, the Mist King unit was running which was odd because I don't have it set for this time. My vivarium is again knee high in water, the entire 5 gallon bucket is empty of water and the pump has been running dry for god knows how long today.

I checked the Seconds Timer and programming schedule and nothing appears to be wrong with it at all. It just wouldn't turn off the pump the whole day....

Is there a warranty on it? Could you exchange it or contact the company and ask about it? This sounds odd. I hope that you can get a replacement (or at least get your $ back).

sounds like a timer problem, not with the pump. I'm sure MistKing will make good on it. I love their stuff.

I'd simply email Marty (marty@mistking) and tell him about the problem. Mechanical parts on anything fail from time to time. Like Tom said, I''m sure that they'll take care of you.
