I have been using my same mist king system on and off for years now. marty has been the greatest help whenever I had a problem. The system works great and rarely has issues that cannot be fixed easily once you learn how to replace the parts. All the parts are very reasonable if and when they require replacing. (rarely) For the money, its a one time investment and as I said Ive had my same system for almost 5-6 years now with very few issues due to not using it for long periods in between chameleon ownership. You have choices between a less expensive version like mine and a better quality if you prefer. Either way, well worth every dime I put into it!!
