Patio Misting Systems Real Cooling Outdoors

While many people anticipate the summer heat to once again frolic outdoors, the excitement becomes shortlived because of the scorching heat outside. Staying indoors to shield you and your family from the heat has the disadvantage of increasing your electricity bills due to prolonged aircon use and knowing that you just wasted a good amount from having an expensive but unused patio. Of late, however, patio misting systems have put an end to all that, by bringing air conditioning outdoors.

In the past this was reserved for the wealthy, but is no longer the case. Homeowners today have changed the way they live. Many families now consider their own backyards as relaxing extensions of their homes, and these external spaces are being utilized regardless of the outside temperature. Gone are the days when you see only chairs and table as outdoor furniture. To the modern family, their own backyard deserves better fixtures. They create outdoor living rooms, outdoor dining rooms, and outdoor kitchens, and small recreation areas.

Having said that, maximum cooling comfort holds the key to the enjoyment of these extension areas. But what is the solution to the soaring 100 degree heat? Patio misting systems will give you the comfort and enjoyment that you need by cooling the air temperature by up to 30 degrees!

Depending on your budget, various systems and types exist in the market. The high end ones contain a silent water pump that emits very fine spray that quickly evaporates over an area.

The cost of misting systems can also vary significantly especially among the different types (low, mid, or high pressure systems). Low pressure systems can operate even in ordinary house water pressure, mid pressure needs at least a 160 psi water pump, and high pressure requires an expensive 1000-1500 psi pump. All of these options are best served by placing an in line filter to keep the nozzles from clogging due to minerals or grit in the water supply.

The main factor to consider when having a patio misting system installed is to ensure that the droplets that come off through the spray must evaporate before they even land on any object. So, everything and everyone stays dry and cooled.

Investing in such a system can bring much pleasure and relaxation to any homeowner. All that must be considered is the budget. Regardless of the type of system you have, whether it is cheap or expensive, the bottomline is always to make sure that it satisfies your requirements. Always look for a one year guarantee on any mechanical parts in a system.
