What Makes the 5th Gen Starter System Better:

1. Next-gen ST-24 Digital Timer: Features upgraded electronics with triple the power rating of previous generation timer—more reliable during power outages and high-demand cycles.

2. Custom Metal Reservoir Bulkhead: Designed with high-torque metal threads for a secure, leak-proof seal no stripping, no worries.

3. New Reservoir Filter: Keeps debris out of your system, helping prevent clogged nozzles. Filters are white to make it easier to see when the filters need to be changed.

Want to expand beyond 10 nozzles? Consider upgrading to our Ultimate or Advanced Misting Systems, or pair this system with the MKP-100 (upgraded) pump for up to 20 nozzles.
