How far apart should I space my misters?
We usually suggest spacing misting heads every 2 - 4 feet. The idea is to surround the guests with cool refreshing mist.

How high should patio misters be?
Evaporation is a chemical process that actually uses heat from the air. However to obtain the optimum cooling effect, the patio mister has to be set up at least 8 feet from the ground. By placing at this height, the patio misting system would also cover a sufficiently large area.

Do patio misters use a lot of water?
The pump and 1 GPH nozzles will use roughly 16-1/4 gallons of water every hour. Significantly less than running your central air conditioner for an hour. As previously mentioned, once you've got your system all planned out, most misters are easy to install and operate.
How much water does a Mister use per hour?
Because Koolfog misting systems use water for humidification, cooling and other forms of environmental control, we are often asked “how much water is actually used.” The simple answer is this: approximately one gallon of water per hour per nozzle using a standard misting nozzle.
How many degrees do misters lower?
Most misting systems can be designed to cool the surrounding air significantly, reaching over a 30 degrees drop in temperature.
Does misting lower temperature?
Evaporative cooling or adiabatic cooling, is the most well-known use of high-pressure water spray (misting). The process of evaporation of the water absorbs energy (heat) from the surrounding environment thus reducing the temperature.
How do you keep your misters from clogging?
Soak the clogged misting nozzle or misting nozzles in white vinegar or CLR for at least an hour. Rinse the misting nozzle, flush your misting lines and mount the misting nozzles back into your misting system. If you cannot remember the last time you replaced your misting system filter, its probably time to replace it.
Do misters work in high humidity?
If properly designed and installed, a high pressure (1000 PSI) mist cooling system can be very effective for residential, commercial and industrial applications even in high humidity. Various geographical regions have specific summer weather inherent to their climate.
Do misters get you wet?
Some misters produce a spray made of large droplets that can get you wet. These systems often use larger spray nozzles and low or medium water pressures. On the other hand, foggers use tiny spray nozzles (to create a fog-like mist) and high water pressure. The fog-like mist evaporates before it can get anything wet.
Do I need a pump for my misting system?
Choosing the wrong pump size: Designed to run on a water supply from the house, typically an outside faucet, patio misting systems need to have a pump to boost the pressure in the lines, and force the water through the very fine holes in the nozzle to create microdroplets of water.
Do misters keep flies away?
These systems are even amazing at keeping their areas free of all manner of annoyances, from bugs to dust. The water that is made by the mister will stick to an insect, rendering it immobile. Bugs such as bees, hornets, mosquitoes, and flies will be unable to get into any area that is protected by a mist system.
How much pressure should be in a misting system?
What is the amount of water pressure needed to create mist? You must have a minimum pressure of 35 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). This is the standard rate of supply pressure for city water.
Do patio misters work in humid climates?
Misting fans will work in humid conditions; they just may not operate at such a high rate compared to dryer environments. For example, in areas such as Louisiana, where humidity levels can reach a staggering 60% on a 100°F day, a high-quality misting fan can still cool the air by up to 15°C.
Do high pressure misting systems work?
The high pressure misting systems are the most effective at lowering the overall temperature on your patio by as much as thirty-five degrees. During the extreme heat and humidity of the summer the system can really make everyone more comfortable.
Step 1 – Flush Tubing
Step 2 – Attach Misting Nozzles
- There should be a number of joints in the tube, where sections of tube meet with small holes in them. Attach the misting nozzles by snapping or screwing them in place. Do this by hand and not with a tool, as the nozzles and tube are delicate, and nothing should be tighter than finger-tight. Turn on the water. Mist should be produced. Adjust the pre...
Step 3 – Hang The Mister
- Once you’re satisfied everything’s in working order, turn off the water and take your assembled mister to the desired location. This should be an elevated spot, to allow gravity to do some of the work of releasing the mist. Awnings, pergolas and arbors make good spots, or even on the eves above you patio. Some clips or clamps attach with a screw or nail, and some can clamp onto a t…
Step 4 – Start The Flow
- Your outdoor mister is now ready for use. Adjust the water pressure to create a finemist and not a dribble or a spray. The system needs to be kept indoors during freezing temperatures, as the expansion of ice may tear the tube, and the nozzles should be removed and cleaned at least once a year, as sediment that may impede the flow of water will build up over time.
