Reptile Rain
Reptile Rain is ideally suited for keeping terrariums humid and
for watering plants. Especially reptiles and amphibians from tro-
pical rainforests need a constantly high humidity in order to stay
healthy. Reptiles from the subtropical steppe also need a raised
level of humidity in the early morning hours. The amount of
water sprayed by Reptile Rain can be infinitely adjusted. We re-
commend the use of a regulation and control device (e.g. TRIXIE
thermo-/hygrostat or timer) to ensure optimal operation.

Pump:
●
a
The low-voltage pump (12 V) provides a consistent perfor-
mance that is infinitely adjustable. The pump performance
depends on the setting chosen as well as the number of spray
heads and dripping nozzles attached. Should air have remained
in the system, this can lead to diminished performance at the
beginning. If less than 4 spray heads are used, we recommend
reducing the output manually.
●
Spray heads:
b
The spray heads included have a jet angle of 50° and can be
rotated and pivoted. They allow optimal humidification of
terrariums and watering of plants.
●
c
Dripping nozzle:
The dripping nozzle serves to water plants continuously and
can also be used as drinking water supply e.g. for chameleons.
The dripping frequency can be adjusted as needed. The dripping
nozzle should always be attached to the end of the tube (after
the spray heads).
●
Mounting elements :
d
The mounting elements included allow attaching the spray
heads and the tube underneath wooden cover plates or gauze
coverings. The screws required for this are included as well.
●
e
Tube:
The tube has to be cut to the required lengths as needed. Please
make sure that the cuts are straight.
●
L-Connector 90°:
f
The L-connector allows the tube to be bent at 90° without
kinking it.

Water filter:
●
The water filter included will prevent dirt particles from
blocking the pump. If water is taken directly from the terrarium,
however, pre-filtration is needed.
Extension of the system/Accessories:
The system can be extended with further spray heads and drip-
ping nozzles. The capacity of the pump can supply up to 8 spray
heads plus a dripping nozzle, depending on the set-up. Without
dripping nozzle, up to 12 spray heads can be used.
Operation and Set-up
Location:
The power supply unit must be positioned in a place where it
cannot get wet. Before connecting the PSU to mains (socket),
please ensure that the connection of the PSU to the pump case
is secure and that the switch on the pump has been set to 0.
The location of the pump case should also be outside the terra-
rium so that it cannot get wet. The maximum pumping head is
about 2.25 m (depending on the number of spray heads used).
This needs to be taken into account when installing the system.
The pump should not be on the same level or lower than the
water tank, as in that case the water tank might run dry and
flood the terrarium.
The surface should be even and allow sufficient space for access
and adjustment work.
Connecting the pump to the tube:
The incoming connection from the water tank to the pump is
made on the right side (IN). The outgoing connection from the
pump to the spray heads goes out on the left (OUT).
In order to connect the tube to the pump, first unscrew the
wing nuts from the case and push them over the tube with
their small opening first. In a second step, carefully push the
tube into the holding fixture of the pump case. Now screw the
nuts tight again. This provides a firm connection of tube and
holding fixture. If the tube is rather stiff, it can be made subtle
by moistening it.
Connecting the water tank to the pump :
In order to join the tube to the cover, unfasten the nuts on the
cover and push them over the tube with the small opening first.
In a second step, carefully push the tube into the holding fixture
in the cover. Now screw the nuts tight again.
Finally fit the water filter into the end of the supply tube by
turning it.
The difference in height between the pump and the water tank
should not exceed 120 cm, as otherwise the suction capacity
might not be sufficient.
Connecting the spray heads/dripping nozzle to the tube:
In order to connect the tube and the spray heads/dripping
nozzle, unscrew the wing nuts from the holding fixture and push
them over the tube with the small opening first. In a second
step, carefully push the tube into the holding fixture of the
spray head/dripping nozzle. Now screw the nuts on again. This
connects the tube to the holding fixture.
Installing the spray heads:
The simplest installation method for the spray heads is via a
single access hole into the terrarium. Inside the terrarium, the
