I built a variation from your instructions. These instructions were inspiration to make one half the size, with a 6-disc ultrasonic emitter in a 5-gallon pail. You just can’t buy anything else like this in the marketplace. It’s crazy that you have to buy the components and piece it together if you want a whole-home ultrasonic humidifier. Adding an automatic float valve with an ice maker line, this is a completely automatic system. I also attached some PVC pipes and elbows to direct and distribute the dog. Thanks for sharing!

Can this be used for Mushroom cultivation?

Is this what passes for an Instructible?

These are good for many uses, but for me I would rather use the electricity for lights.
