| High vs Low Pressure Misting Systems |
If you have been looking to install a misting system to keep you cool this summer, chances are you have come
across the different types of misting systems that are available to you. There are low pressure, medium pressure,
and high pressure misting systems available.
Which of these misting systems is best for you? Which is the most effective for evaporative cooling? We know it
can be confusing to decide what type of misting system you should get, so we put this page together to help you
decide if a high or low pressure misting system would be best for your needs.

High Pressure Misting Systems
High pressure misting systems are the most efficient misting systems available. A high pressure misting system can lower the real feel temperature
by as much as 35ºF. As with any misting system, the lower your humidity, the more efficient the misting system becomes. Since the misting system
uses high pressure water, almost all of the water that exits the nozzles evaporates instantly. This prevents you from getting wet, which can happen
with low pressure misting systems, especially in areas with high humidity. High pressure misting systems are fairly common at restaurants, hotels,
and homes in the desert. High pressure misting systems can also be used to achieve a fogging effect for decorative purposes.
A high pressure misting system is the most expensive. The misting system consists of a high pressure misting pump and high pressure supply line
with misting nozzles. The supply line on most high pressure misting systems consists of high pressure rubber tubing or stainless steel tubing. The
supply line then spans the entire length of your patio or deck to line the entire area with misting nozzles. By lining the entire area with misting
nozzles, you can cool the area down faster.
High pressure misting pumps are available in a variety of pressures and flow rates. A high pressure misting system typically runs anywhere from
1000 to 1500psi. The flow rate on the misting pump can vary widely from 1.0gpm to 3.0gpm or more. Basically the more misting nozzles you have on
your supply line, the more gpm your misting pump has to flow. Most misting pumps come with adjustable regulators that allow you to increase or
decrease the pressure or flow rate of your misting pump.
A high pressure misting system cools the air the best because it utilizes high pressure water from the misting pump. The higher the water pressure,
the finer the drops of water that come out of the misting nozzles. The finer the drops, the quicker and more likely they evaporate. The more mist that
evaporates, the less of a chance you will get wet and the cooler the surrounding air will feel.

Low Pressure Misting Systems
Low pressure misting systems run off any standard garden hose utilizing normal household water pressure. Generally speaking any misting system
operating at less than 100psi is classified as a low pressure misting system. Low pressure misting systems can cool the outside air by as much as
20ºF. As with any misting system, the lower your humidity, the more efficient the misting system becomes. Low pressure misting systems are a great
alternative for someone who doesn't want to make an investment in a high pressure misting system. Low pressure misting systems cost much less
than high pressure misting systems because they do not need to use high pressure tubing or fittings.
The supply line of a low pressure misting system is typically made from PVC piping or plastic tubing. The supply line then spans the entire length of
your patio or deck to line the entire area with misting nozzles. By lining the entire area with misting nozzles, you can cool the area down faster.
It is difficult for all of the mist to evaporate with a low pressure misting system, especially if you live in an area with medium to high humidity levels.
Therefore it is possible for you to get slightly wet from the misting system. However you will not get soaking wet from a low pressure misting system,
rather you will be misted with a finely atomized mist. If your low pressure misting system is positioned in direct sunlight, the sun will help to evaporate
the mist. It's only when used under a shaded area that it will be difficult for all of the mist to evaporate from a low pressure misting system.
Even if you are worried about getting slightly wet from a low pressure misting system, the benefits of one outweigh getting slightly wet. To be honest,
most people are not even bothered by getting slightly wet from a low pressure misting system. Most people comment that it actually feels quite good!
