READ FIRST! IMPORTANT: WINTERIZATION
Freezing can damage the tubing, nozzles, pump, and unit. Before the first freeze,
empty your SolaMist unit. Pour approximately one gallon of environmentally
safe windshield washing fluid into the unit. Run the unit in one-minute bursts
until the unit has used most of the liquid.
Failure to do this procedure will void the warranty.
READ FIRST! Another Important Tip:
Use a minimum of 15 nozzles and a maximum of 30 for your spray tube. Fewer
than 15 nozzles on a tube will be too much pressure and can damage your tubing,
pump, and/or nozzles. More than 30 nozzles may not open the nozzle valves.
Therefore, when customizing your spray area, make sure you put your check
valves after a minimum of 15 nozzles.

Your new SolaMist mosquito and insect misting system is the most advanced and easy-to-use system
on the market. Your SolaMist system does not have a plug-in charger. It is only powered by your solar
panel which stores electricity in the battery.
The controller inside your SolaMist unit is designed to stay on. You may turn it off using the buttons on
the keypad, but you will need to reset your spray schedule if you turn it off. It’s a good idea to turn it
off for the winter months and turn it back on in springtime. Just remember to give the battery a full
charge by connecting it to the solar panel for at least 4 hours before using. (It’s easy to reset your
schedule any time.)
INSTALL THE SOLAR PANEL
You will need to place your solar panel in a sunny place with the panel angled towards the maximum
angle of the sun. It should only require about 4 hours of sunlight to get a full charge. Make sure the
wire from the solar panel is plugged in, and the cord is plugged into your battery. You may mount the
panel on your roof, fence, or anywhere there is sun. You can also use the stand to set it next to the
SolaMist unit. (Longer extension cords are available on the SolaMist Store using the SolaMist app or by
going to RemingtonSolar.com)
CONNECTING THE TUBING
When you are ready to install the tubing, just use the quick connect and plug it into the pump.
SolaMist was created for you to customize your own mosquito-free zone.
Your unit has been supplied with 90 feet of tubing. You may choose to use the entire 90 feet of tubing
on your yard, or you may want to cut some portion to use as a portable sprayer (such as camping,
RVing, sporting events, picnics, etc.) Therefore, you may consider using 45 feet or so to take with you.
(BE SURE TO USE A MINIMUM OF 15 NOZZLES PER LENGTH OF TUBING) You would simply disconnect
the tubing from the egg and take the main egg unit along with the extra tubing with nozzles with you.
Use the ground stakes provided to elevate the nozzles/tubing off the ground.
IMPORTANT: The tubing may shrink and expand with cold or hot weather. If you choose to
keep your tubing installed through a cold winter, make sure that you leave some slack in the
tubing for slight contraction. If the tubing shrinks, just adjust it (loosen) and press the nozzles
back on.
QUICK START GUIDE
Tip: Put screw clips 2 inches away from the nozzles so
when the tubing does shrink, the nozzles will not be in
the way to stop the natural movement of the tubing.

HOW TO INSTALL
First, we recommend you decide what area you want to make bug-free. You also need to consider
where you put your unit, and where you put your solar panel so that it will catch the most sun. Your
panel has to be in the sun for about 4 hours everyday to give the battery a full charge. However, your
unit will only run for a few minutes a day (at the most), so you shouldn’t have to worry about running
out of power.
We recommend you place your SolaMist unit and solar panel where you want them. Then lay out the
tubing in a general path where you want your spray zone. You will probably want to conceal the tubing
as much as possible, but giving the nozzles clearance to spray. Laying out the tubing first will let you
know roughly how much tubing you need to work with.
As your tubing is coming out of the SolaMist egg unit, you may want to go vertical up to a tree, fence,
or porch trim. You only have to put nozzles where you want the spray to be. So you may not put a
nozzle on the first few feet or so. Preferably, you want the nozzles to be at least 5-6 feet off the ground.
You will be cutting the tubing and adding nozzles in between. We recommend that you space the
nozzles 3 feet apart. Use sharp scissors to cut through the tubing where you want a nozzle. Simple
press and twist on the nozzles in between the cut.
We recommend you use the provided screw clips to attach tubing on wood material like trees, fences,
or trim, and stakes for campouts when there are no trees or anything to elevate the nozzles. (Just be
careful with kids, pets, and even grownups walking through the tubing!)
The SolaMist pump is powerful enough for you to use all 30 nozzles on 90 feet of tubing. However, we
recommend you use some of the tubing as a portable system. You may go to the SolaMist Store
through your app or www.RemingtonSolar.com to purchase additional panels and portable kits if
necessary. Just be sure to use a minimum of 15 nozzles per length of tubing.
USING “CHECK VALVES”
Your SolaMist system comes with 2 check valves and 2 T-fittings. Check valves are simply little on/off
“switches” that allow the fluid to go through the tube…or not. You don’t have to use the check valves
or the T-fittings, but they are provided so that you can split your tubing to go into two different
directions. Placing a check valve after your first 15 nozzles (approximately 45 feet) will allow you to
turn off fluid flow temporarily.
For example, if you have a covered porch area, and your barbeque grill is 20 feet away, you may
consider putting a check valve in between so you can make your porch area bug free, but not waste
concentrate if you are not grilling that day.
Just remember: when customizing your spray area, make sure
you put your check valves after a minimum of 15 nozzles.

SOLAMIST PRO CONCENTRATE
Your SolaMist system comes with one refill of SolaMist Pro Concentrate.
NOTE: SolaMist Pro Concentrate is a non-toxic environmentally friendly pesticide. In national tests
compared to other misting concentrates, however, SolaMist Pro Concentrate is shown to be the most
effective at actually killing mosquitoes, gnats, wasps, spiders, and roaches.
You may also use Riptide, a pyrethrum-based product which is also effective at killing mosquitoes.
Pyrethrum, a derivative of the chrysanthemum flower, also has very low toxicity. If you use your
SolaMist infrequently, you may want to agitate the Riptide solution in your SolaMist reservoir with a
clean stick occasionally.
How long with my concentrate last?
NOTE: Most other mosquito systems are designed without real regard to conserving misting
concentrate, especially the larger 55 gallon systems. (Guess why that is!) SolaMist is designed to allow
you the flexibility to use the system only when you need it, and where you need it…thus managing
your SolaMist Pro concentrate expenses. You may order refills using our iPhone or Android app, or by
going to our website at RemingtonSolar.com. You may purchase online in 4-packs of 16 oz. Light use
will last you estimated 8 to 12 weeks. Heavy use will last 4 to 6 weeks.
The spray time is preprogrammed for 45 seconds per each spray with 10 minutes interval. This setting
you cannot change. But you can choose how many sprays you want. Your SolaMist reservoir is
approximately 12 gallons. You will get approximately 60 45-second sprays if you use all 30 nozzles.
Using the maximum setting of 5 sprays in the morning and 5 in the evening, assuming you are using all
30 nozzles, you can expect to go through your concentrate in 6 days. However, if you use a check valve
and split your usage in half, you can expect to go 12 days. And if you use your system in the evening
(for example) and not the morning, then you can go nearly a month on one fill.
One of the greatest benefits of using the SolaMist system is that you control your usage and costs. It is
not uncommon for other misting systems to cost $150-200 per month is concentrate costs. With
SolaMist, your costs can literally be 1/10th of that, depending on when and how you use your system.
IMPORTANT: Fill the main “egg” unit with water first (leave about an inch
for the SolaMist Pro concentrate). Then add the concentrate. If you add
the concentrate first, foaming will occur.
IMPORTANT: SolaMist Pro Concentrate is formulated for the SolaMist
mosquito and insect misting system only. Our concentrate has surfactants
and other cleaners in the formula which will keep the nozzles clean.

SET YOUR SPRAY SCHEDULE
You have two choices. You can use
The touch screen controller in the unit to set your spray schedule. Or you can use our
iPhone or Android app. (search the iTune or Google stores for “solamist”). Whether you use
the app or the controller itself, the last schedule you set will override the previous one.
Using the controller
SolaMist is designed to be a set and forget type of system. Mosquitoes are more active in the morning
and the evening. Our misting solution is most effective by spraying in 45 second bursts every 10
minutes. You have the choice of how many sprays you want in each cycle. You may choose up to 5
sprays during a 50 minute period. For heavy mosquito populations, you may want to choose 4 or 5
sprays per cycle. For light mosquito populations, you may want fewer. You can always use the “1
minute instant spray” button to spray one burst for 60 seconds for a boost anytime you need it, this
will not interfere with the previously programmed cycle.
When you open the lid of the “egg”, you will see a touch screen controller. Activate the controller and
you will see a master display. Below is a flow chart to guide you through each setup.
