Technical Questions

What should I do if misting nozzles plug up?
Cleaning Nozzles - Replace or clear obstructed or clogged nozzles.
Nozzles may be cleared by scraping the stainless steel end with flat surface of a knife or screwdriver. To remove nozzle, turn in counter-clockwise direction. Nozzles may be routinely cleaned by soaking in solution of LIME AWAY!" or CLR overnight. Rinse thoroughly after soaking. Replace nozzle by turning in clockwise direction until snug.

Where do I place my patio mist line system?
Place mist line around the perimeter of the area to be cooled. This forms a mist curtain, a cooling barrier between the protected area and the outside heat. The mist line should be mounted 8' to 10' above the ground.

How much water does a misting system actually use?
This will vary depending on the size of the system and the number of nozzles to be used.

Do I need a filter for my system?
Our high pressure systems are with filters.
For our low and med pressure systems you can use our Poly-Phosphate Filters. The unique Filters actually accomplishes two things. First, it will filter out any sediment from the water supply thereby preventing it from getting into the mist line and plugging the nozzles. Second, the filter contains phosphate crystals which are designed to surround the hard water deposits (calcium, sodium, and magnesium) and prevent them from adhering to the misting nozzle. This will also help eliminate the hard water buildup and will keep the mist system operating at peak performance for a longer period of time.

Is there any maintenance required?
The only maintenance required for a properly designed misting system is a periodic cleaning of the nozzles and an annual check-up for the pump. This check-up may include adding or changing of the oil and tightening or replacing of fan belts (only on the pulley driven pump models), and changing of the filter cartridge. Misting Fan Systems require very little maintenance. We do recommend some preventative care and cleaning for the nozzles.

How many nozzle can I use with the MIST&COOL product line. ( Low-Med Pressure )
 

How Does It Work? MIST&COOL!" Outdoor Cooling Systems employ evaporative cooling to effectively cool and condition the environment. Using our proprietary misting nozzles, an ultra fine mist is introduced into the environment which interacts with the air to cool, clean, humidify and to repel flying insects.

Maximum number of nozzles that can be used
at different water pressures:

 
1/2 Professional System 3/8" Do-It-Yourself System
Water Pressure Max. # of Nozzles Water Pressure Max. # of Nozzles
25 psi 6 30 psi 6
40 psi 18 40 psi 18
50 psi 30 50 psi 30
70 psi 42 70 psi 46
180 psi 54 90 psi 62
250 psi 58 100 psi 62
    120 psi 106
 
Our heaviest duty system is designed to work with house pressures and pump aided pressures up to 250 psi. Higher pressures produce more water volume and an even finer mist that evaporates more efficiently. This system is designed for optional installation flexibility and maximum number of nozzles at pressures up to 125 psi. Besides normal patio applications, this system works exceptionally well in greenhouse applications. *Normal house pressures range between 35 psi and 90 psi.
