Misting Nozzle Information
|

Our misting nozzles are what make our water misters and misting systems unique. Each misting nozzle contains a built-in mesh screen filter to
prevent nozzle clogging. If you have ever used other misting nozzles, chances are they did not have a built-in filter. Misting nozzles that do not
have a built-in filter will quickly clog if you have "hard water" or a high content of sediment in your water. Even if your water is pretty clean or if you
have a water softener, your misting nozzles will still be susceptible to clogging if they do not have a built-in mesh screen filter. Companies that sell
misting systems or misters with cheap misting nozzles say that if you install an in-line filter you will not have to worry about your misting nozzles
clogging. This isn't always the case and most places sell you in-line filters that let a lot of debris and sediment bypass the filter to clog your
misting nozzles.
If you have ever had clogged misting nozzles, then you know first hand how difficult it can be to unclog them. The only real way to unclog a
misting nozzle is to let it soak in a chemical or vinegar and hope the nozzle orifice unclogs. In most cases you will only partially unclog a nozzle
and it will eventually re-clog. Most people do not have the time or patience to unclog misting nozzles so they just replace them. After replacing
them a few times it can get very expensive.
With our built-in mesh screen filters on each misting nozzle, you do not have to worry about nozzle clogging. If any sediment or debris try to enter
the nozzle, they will get caught by the filter and not enter the nozzle to clog the orifice. The filter also does a good job of preventing lime and
calcium buildup from entering the nozzle. If for any reason you notice your misting nozzle isn't functioning as it should, you can remove the misting
nozzle to clean the filter off. Then when you re-install the misting nozzle it should work like new again.
If you have extremely hard water or a high content of sediment in your water, you may want to consider an in-line filter for your water mister or
misting system. The in-line filter filters the water as it enters your water mister or misting system. Then as the water gets to the misting nozzles,
the filters on the misting nozzles filter the water a second time. The in-line filter removes most of sediment or debris before the water gets near
the misting nozzles. Then any remaining debris in the water gets caught in the filter at the misting nozzle. By using an in-line filter with the built-in
filters on your misting nozzles, you get double protection.
After the water goes through the filter on the misting nozzle, it enters an internal metering device inside the nozzle. The internal metering device
restricts how much water exits the nozzle orifice and also helps to produce a fine mist. As you can see by the picture above, our misting nozzles
are rather complex on the inside.
Our misting nozzles may not be the cheapest but we can guarantee you will not have to worry about your nozzles continually clogging and
requiring replacement. The cheap misting nozzles you can find elsewhere for $5 or less simply won't last. Our misting nozzles all have 1/8" NPT
threads on them making them compatible with other misters and misting systems besides ours. Once you try our misting nozzles, you won't want
to use any others.
We have plastic and brass misting nozzles available. All of our low pressure water misters and misting systems come standard with our plastic
misting nozzles. The plastic misting nozzles will not drip with low water pressure (less than 100psi) and will not tarnish like metal misting nozzles.
Believe it or not the plastic misting nozzles actually outwear the metal ones. Our brass misting nozzles are typically included with our high
pressure water misters and misting systems since they can handle higher water pressures. Stainless steel and copper-nickel metal misting
nozzles are available upon request. We have plastic misting nozzles up to 3gph and metal misting nozzles up to 15gph.
Note: The picture above shows a brass misting nozzle. Our plastic misting nozzles are identical, but are just made out of plastic instead of brass.
