| Will
the mist system cause me to get wet? |
| |
| You will only get wet
if you are standing within 6' of the
misting nozzle. |
| |
| Will a mist
system work in a humid climate? |
| |
| Yes. The evaporative
cooling concept will work any time
you are able to achieve evaporation.
The more complete the evaporation,
the more effective the system will
work. For areas with humidity above
80%, temperature reductions will be
as high as 10 degrees. For humidity
levels between 40% and 80%, temperature
reductions will be as high as 20 degrees.
Below 40% humidity, the temperature
reductions may be as much as 35 degrees.

| Which system
is the best choice for me? |
| |
1. Low-Pressure
Misting Systems
The systems operate between 40 and
100 psi of water pressure. The variance
in pressure is because they operate
on your household water pressure and
not a pump. Normally built with PVC
or poly plastic tubing and are connected
to a water hose. Typically found on
outdoor patios and the misting will
get you wet but cool if you are standing
nearby.
2. Mid-Pressure Misting Systems
The systems operates between 100 and
250 psi of water pressure. A Mid-Pressure
Pump is utilized to increase the pressure
of the water flow. It is perfectly
suited for backyard and patio misting.
3. High Pressure Misting Systems
The systems operate between 800 and
1200 psi (pounds per square inch)
of water pressure. The systems will
work very effectively in both low
and high levels of humidity. Even
when the humidity exceeds 90%, the
effects of the system will be felt
with the rapid drop in temperature
and make you feel cool and more comfortable.
High Pressure Systems create the most
BTU's, because the systems produce
smaller MIST and creating more cooling
evaporation.
As the micron water droplets flash
evaporate they pick up heat from the
air, which significantly drops the
temperature between 25 and 35 degrees
Fahrenheit, without making you wet.

| What is
best and easy way to clean the clogged
nozzles effectively? |
| |
Most nozzles clog because
hard water deposits accumulate in
the nozzle (like the white residue
left on a shower door). The best way
to clean nozzles is to use a retail
product like CLR -Calcium / Lime and
Rust Remover which can be purchased
at any grocery store.
Step 1: Scrap a knife
across the small hole in the nozzle
(don't poke into the hole)
Step 2: Mix 1/2 warm
water 1/2 CLR in a small jar - place
the clogged nozzle in the jar and
shake vigorously for 20 seconds, let
set for a few seconds and shake another
20 seconds.
Step 3: Remove nozzles
from jar and hold the nozzle by the
threads and tap it on a hard surface
(like a countertop)
Step 4: Rince with
fresh water and most nozzles will
be unclogged
** If you have a jewelry cleaner (ultrasonic
bath) use that instead of the jar.
