Irrigation systems in comparison – small, medium or large

The right humidity is a key factor for healthy terrarium animals. Many invertebrates, amphibians and reptiles require regular spraying rain or permanently high humidity. A sprinkler system performs this task reliably – but which one is right for your terrarium? We compare the models available at Insektenliebe by category, tank size, pump pressure (bar) and number of possible nozzles.

Small sprinkler systems – for compact terrariums


Compact sprinkler systems are ideal for small to medium-sized pools. They are easy to install, save space and provide reliable moisture.

Exo-Terra-Monsoon-Nano-irrigation-system-2.jpg

The Exo Terra Monsoon NANO is a compact irrigation system with a pump pressure of approx. 2 bar and the option of operating up to 4 nozzles. It is supplied with 2 nozzles as standard. Particularly practical: the spray duration can be set from as little as 1 second – ideal for sensitive species that require very fine dosing. Another advantage is the flexible water tank: instead of a fixed container, the system can be operated with a canister, bottle or other water reservoir. This allows the capacity to be adjusted individually – from small to large, depending on requirements.

It can be programmed with spraying intervals from 1 second to 9 minutes. It can also spray once a day up to once every 30 days – particularly practical for vacation plans or long absences

The Hobby Easy Rain Mini has a 700 ml tank, operates at a pressure of approx. 2 bar and is therefore a compact sprinkler system for small terrariums. It is operated with 2 nozzles as standard, but can be expanded to up to 4 nozzles. Particularly practical: the system can also be removed and used as a hand sprayer. The Easy Rain Mini therefore offers a high degree of flexibility and is the ideal entry-level system for keepers who want to reliably supply a small terrarium with moisture.

The spray duration can be set from 4 seconds to 120 seconds and the intervals can be programmed from 1 to 12 hours. The Easy Rain Mini therefore offers a high degree of flexibility and is the ideal entry-level system for small terrariums that require a reliable supply of moisture.

Repto Flex Rainmaker 2.0-unpacked

The Repto Flex Rainmaker 2.0 rounds off the category of small systems. With a pressure of approx. 3 bar and the option of operating up to 4 nozzles, it offers an attractive price-performance ratio and a high degree of flexibility at the same time. As with the Exo Terra Monsoon NANO, the water tank is also flexible: the system is not supplied with a fixed container, but can be operated with a canister, a bottle or another reservoir. This means that the capacity can be individually adjusted – from small to large, depending on requirements. The Rainmaker is therefore the right choice for anyone who operates a small to medium-sized pool but would like to use an expandable solution right now.
The spray duration ranges from 1 second to 10 minutes, while the interval time can be programmed from 1 hour to 30 days. This makes the Rainmaker ideal for small to medium-sized pools where individually controllable humidification is required.

Medium sprinkler systems – for medium-sized setups or multiple pools

If you maintain a larger terrarium or want to supply several tanks at the same time, the medium-sized systems are the right choice. They offer more tank volume and additional nozzles.

Exo-Terra Monsoon Solo II irrigation system

The Exo Terra Monsoon SOLO II has a 1.5 liter tank and operates at a pressure of approx. 2.5 bar. It is supplied with 2 nozzles as standard, but can be expanded to up to 4 nozzles. It is reliable, programmable and therefore ideal for medium-sized set-ups where constant humidity is required. Thanks to the controller, irrigation cycles can be set precisely, which is crucial for many invertebrates, reptiles and amphibians.
Programming possible for several spraying processes per 24-hour interval. Spray duration can be set from 2 seconds to 2 minutes.

The Exo Terra Monsoon MULTI II is even more flexible. With an 8-liter tank, a pressure of approx. 4.5 bar and the option of connecting up to 6 nozzles, it is an excellent choice for owners with several terrariums or a large tank that needs to be watered evenly. The scope of delivery already includes 2 nozzles, which can be extended as required. The system is programmable, powerful and ensures even humidification – ideal for anyone who values convenience and flexibility. Can be programmed for multiple sprays per 24-hour interval. Spray duration can be set from 2 seconds to 2 minutes.

Large irrigation systems – for ambitious keepers and breeders

For large terrariums or entire breeding systems, you need systems with high output, a large tank and many nozzles.

Hobby-Easy-Rain

The Hobby Easy Rain scores with a large 9-liter tank, a pressure of approx. 6 bar and a reliable pump that also reliably supplies large setups. The scope of delivery already includes 2 nozzles, but the system can be expanded to up to 6 nozzles . This makes the system ideal for several large tanks or demanding terrariums that require constantly high humidity. Thanks to the large tank, the Easy Rain runs for a particularly long time without the need for frequent water refills – a clear advantage for ambitious keepers and breeders. The spray duration can be set from 2 seconds to 120 seconds and the intervals can be programmed from 1 to 24 hours.

The HabiStat Rainmaker Pro is the professional solution par excellence. With a pressure of approx. 8 bar, an individually selectable water tank and the option of operating up to 20 nozzles, it is unbeatable for large projects and professional cultivation systems. The scope of delivery already includes 4 nozzles, so the system is ready for immediate use. An integrated timer ensures that irrigation intervals can be set precisely. The particularly fine misting makes the artificial rain look very realistic and ensures optimum moisture distribution throughout the terrarium. This makes the Rainmaker Pro the first choice for ambitious keepers and breeders who value maximum performance, durability and flexibility.
It can be controlled using the digital timer – allowing very short sprays through to longer rain phases to be programmed precisely, ideal for simulating natural weather patterns.

Conclusion

When choosing the right sprinkler system, you should always be clear about the scope of use first. If you want to humidify a small terrarium, you will need a different solution to someone who runs several large tanks or even a breeding facility. Within each category – small, medium or large – there is a suitable model for every requirement.

An important decision factor here is the pump pressure. It largely determines how fine the generated spray mist is and how evenly the moisture is distributed in the terrarium. A nice, fine mist is particularly important to ensure that not only individual areas but the entire habitat is reliably moistened. This creates a stable microclimate that offers your animals optimum conditions.

So if you know the size of your system and pay attention to the performance values – especially the pressure – you will quickly find the right system. With the right sprinkler system, maintenance costs can be reduced, animal welfare ensured and near-natural conditions in the terrarium permanently guaranteed.
