Patio Misting Systems

If you’ve ever made the trip to a desert climate as is found in parts of Arizona, you’ve probably seen an ingenious cooling system at work, especially in public spaces and places. While those systems tend to have a more noticeable effect in drier climates, where it’s easier for the atomized mist to quickly absorb heat molecules, they can sometimes be effective in other parts of the country, depending on ambient humidity levels.

Here’s how such a system works:

First, you’ll want to invest in a higher-pressure mechanism that will actually atomize the water as opposed to attempting to make a fine spray out of water from a hose. In fact, systems that draw from a typical garden hose do little more than saturate the air with more humidity, which isn’t necessarily a benefit.

With an atomizing system, the moisture that’s produced is hardly noticeable, and the cooling effect can be as much as 20 or 30 degrees in just a matter of a few minutes. And the patio isn’t the only area where a mister could come in handy.

Installing a mister system around the deck area of a pool could help to keep people cool without becoming completely drenched. This can be a helpful option when the very young or very old might not fare so well in a pool crowded with younger, more rambunctious swimmers.

Using a mister around a potentially dusty area can provide the added benefit of keeping the dust clouds to a minimum. In fact, Palm Springs Stadium, which hosts California Winter League baseball games, boasts the largest misting system in the Coachella Valley. You can only imagine how that comes in handy during triple-digit days of the season, which typically runs from the end of May to the beginning of August.

And installing a special mister system with a fan can spread a decent-sized cloud of mist, which can come in handy for play areas where children could use a good cooling down on a summer afternoon.
