not sure that is possible, the misting system will suck up water faster then the RO system can produce it usually, you will need a reservoir, you can hook up the misting system to the reservoir and the RO system on auto top off system to refill the valve when it falls below a certain level.

It has a metal resevoir and the automatically fills but it supposedly pressureized so I'm not sure if I drill it that it will work

By "metal reservoir" do you mean a pressure tank?

the gph of the ro unit would have to be in excess of what the mist king draws or as said before youd use a reservoir with the ro unit on auto top off

So long as your R/O system has a decent sized holding tank - you can do it. You'll need an electrically activated switch. It's important to get one that's normally off. 24VDC would be able to share the same power source as most misting pumps, which is nice.

Click the image to open in full size.

Home Line --> R/O System --> R/O reservoir --> E-Valve --> Pump --> Misters

If your R/O system doesn't have a R/O reservoir - you can make one but you'll need a UV Sterilizer and an auto-shutoff valve to keep things safe & simple.
