| Q: Do I need to line the entire length of my patio or deck with misting nozzles in order to cool the area down? A: No. This is a misconception that goes along with the theory that mist cooling works by getting you wet. As explained on the how mist cooling works page, the purpose of a mister is to have the mist evaporate to cool the surrounding air. The cool air then circulates to cool an even larger area away from the mister. Having nozzles line the entire length of your patio just helps to cool the area down quicker. Q: Why do misters work more efficiently in low humidity areas? A: When the humidity level is high it means that there is already a lot of moisture in the air. By spraying more water into the air from a mister or misting system, it becomes difficult for the mist to evaporate because there is already a high level of moisture in the air. The more mist that evaporates from a mister or misting system, the cooler the surrounding air will feel. In order to evaporate the most amount of mist you need a low humidity level. Q: Are brass or plastic misting nozzles better? A: In most cases plastic misting nozzles are better, unless they are made from a cheap grade of plastic. Brass misting nozzles have a tendency to tarnish and wear out, especially if you have hard water. Plastic misting nozzles resist corrosion and last much longer. Q: How many nozzles should I get on a permanently mounted or portable low pressure mister? A: Please click here for help selecting how many nozzles would be best for your needs Q: How much cooler will the mister make the outside air feel? A: This is determined by several factors including your humidity level, where the misting system is installed, and whether you have a high pressure misting system or a low pressure misting system. High pressure misting systems are the most efficient and can cool the surrounding air by as much as 35ºF. Low pressure misting systems can cool the surrounding air by as much as 20ºF. Q: Do you have higher flow rate misting nozzles? A: Yes. Please contact us with your needs and we will help you select the best size misting nozzles for your needs. We have misting nozzles that flow up to 15gph. Q: For the low pressure misters, what is the minimum water pressure that I need? A: We recommend a minimum of 45psi for any of our low pressure misters. However we have had customers in the past run the misters with as little as 25psi without any problems. Q: Can I hook up a pressure washer/misting pump to a low pressure mister? A: No. These misters were not designed for high pressure and attaching a pressure washer or misting pump to the mister may pose a safety hazard and potentially damage the mister. Q: Does mist cooling work by getting you wet? A: No. Mist cooling works by making the water mist evaporate into the air. This then cools the outside air and the cool air will eventually circulate to cool an even larger area beyond the mister. Q: How long will it take to cool down an area with a low pressure mister? A: It varies greatly based on your temperature and humidity. On average you can expect a cool down within 5-10 minutes or less. Most people say they feel relief right away. Q: Can I run more than one low pressure mister off my garden hose? A: Yes. You will need to get a garden hose splitter to run additional hoses to the misters. Q: Can I use a mister to keep my pet cool outside? A: Yes. Any of our water misters or misting systems are perfect for keeping pets cool. People often mount the hand held mister inside dog houses to keep dogs cool. Just hook up a garden hose and your ready to keep your pet nice and cool! Q: Who do you sell misters to?
