• Mist Systems Can Help You Stay Cool in the Hot Months of Summer

    Summer is coming and it’s time to find ways to stay cool if you are living where it gets very hot. In regions like Phoenix, Arizona, where it gets really hot, folks have figured out how to deal with the high heat, and many of the smart residents have got “stayin’ cool” down to a science.

    One of the best tactics to keep cool is to “just add water!” In the desert, there are lots of pools! If you don’t have a pool, then go for the lakes – Phoenix is known for having many more personal watercraft per capita than just about any other location in the nation! Or go tubing down the river.

    They declare it’s a “dry heat,” but residents of Phoenix learned a long time ago how to cool things off with water. Back in the times before air conditioning, they used “swamp coolers” to cool off their homes. A swamp cooler blows wet, cool air through a building, which cools things off as the moisture evaporates. It’s called evaporative cooling, and it’s much less expensive to run than air conditioning. This performs very well through the dry months, but not so well during the rainy monsoon time of year in late summer. Smart folks make use of the evaporative cooler to spend less cash until the monsoon, then they turn on the A/C.

    Outdoors, evaporative cooling works well, even in the humid season. That is definitely the reason so many people in Phoenix set up mister systems. These types of systems squirt mist into the surroundings and can cool off a outdoor patio or enclosed area rather well, particularly if the air is moving. Outdoor mister fans may cool the air down as much as 30 degrees (fahrenheit). You’ll notice mister systems at all dining establishments with outside patios, and any other service that calls for people to be outside in the heat. Many home owners who have a backyard outdoor patio put in a mister system in order to enjoy their backyard more in the summertime.

    Although they don’t demand a lot of attention, you need to conduct some periodic maintenance to make certain your misting system will function properly when you need it. In the Fall, this basically means draining the water from the lines along with disconnecting the lines for the wintertime.

    In Spring, before the Summer months temperature arrives, you’ll need to hook up the lines, test the pump (or water supply) to see that it’s working, and examine your mist system lines for leaks. If your mister system utilizes stainless steel mister line, it shouldn’t be much of a issue. Simply inspect the joints and connectors for leaks. If you’re working with plastic lines, you’ll want to inspect the total system for cracks and breaks.

    The next thing to carry out is to make sure the mister system nozzles aren’t blocked. If you reside in a region that has hard water, the mister nozzle may possibly be clogged by mineral deposits. It might be feasible to just clean the debris off of the top of the nozzle, but if the deposits are in the mister nozzle hole, you will have to find a pin or anything small enough to poke through it in order to clean out the blockage. Be careful not to enlarge the orifice! What a lot of pro misting system companies do is simply replace all the mist nozzles because it’s simpler and usually takes a lot less time than to attempt to clear out each nozzle, and the cost of misting nozzles is pretty reduced when you purchase them in bulk.
