Please note that our smallest size misting nozzle (0.63gph@40PSI, 1.00gph@100PSI) is the comparable size nozzle used on most outdoor misting
systems. If you plan on using your mister to cool your patio or deck, and have the mister close to you, we recommend using this size ONLY.

You will notice that we offer a variety of misting nozzles available in a wide range of capacities. Use the information below to help select which size
misting nozzle(s) will be best for your water misting needs. If you still need help selecting which nozzle size would be best for you, please
contact us.

The amount of water a misting nozzle will flow is based on your water pressure. Each misting nozzle specifies it's flow rate in gallons of water per hour
(gph) at 40PSI and 100PSI. The higher your water pressure, the more water the nozzle will flow.

The smaller the nozzle, the faster the mist will evaporate. Larger nozzles emit more water and thus it takes longer for the mist to evaporate. If you
plan on using the mister close to you then you will want to use a smaller nozzle so that you do not get drenched with water. If the mister is a distance
away from you and your trying to cool a large area, then you will want a medium to large size nozzle to help cool the area down faster.

If you plan on ordering a mister with several nozzles, please keep in mind that the flow rates below are for EACH nozzle.

Available Misting Nozzle Sizes

0.63 GPH@40PSI, 1.00GPH@100PSI    Most common size used on outdoor misting systems

1.26GPH@40PSI, 2.00GPH@100PSI     Will get you a little wet if you keep the mister close to you

1.90GPH@40PSI, 3.00GPH@100PSI     Best for cooling medium sized areas with the mister a distance away

2.53gph@40PSI, 4.00GPH@100 PSI     Best for cooling medium sized areas with the mister a distance away

3.16GPH@40PSI, 5.00GPH@100PSI     Best for cooling medium sized areas with the mister a distance away

6.32GPH@40PSI, 10.00GPH@100PSI   Best for cooling large sized areas with the mister a distance away

9.49GPH@40PSI, 15.00GPH@100PSI   Best for cooling large sized areas with the mister a distance away


Other Nozzle Size Recommendations

0.63GPH@40PSI, 1.00GPH@100PSI: This size is the comparable size used on other outdoor "rope misters". Best for use in the handheld mister or
any mister where it will be close to where you or your guests will be sitting. The low flow rate ensures the mist evaporates to only cool the air and not
get you wet. Also great for misters used to keep birds and other animals cool.

1.26GPH@40PS, 2.00GPH@100PSI: Best used for keeping air conditioning units cool to make them run more efficiently and for getting you a little
wet if you plan on using the mister close to you or where you are sitting.

For cooling large areas fast use either the 6.32gph@40PSI, 10.00gph@100PSI nozzle or the 9.49gph@40PSI, 15.00gph@100PSI nozzle. Do not
use these nozzles if the mister is positioned close to where you are sitting as they emit a substantial amount of water and you will likely get wet since
not all the mist will evaporate quickly.
