How a Misting System Connects to Water

Where does the water come from?

Almost every Phoenix-area patio already has what a misting system needs: a garden-hose spigot. The system taps into that existing outdoor faucet, so there is no need to open walls or run new supply lines.

The spigot only provides normal household water pressure, which is not enough to make a fine fog on its own. That is where the pump comes in, taking the low-pressure hose water and raising it to the 1000 PSI that produces dry cooling.

What role does the pump play in the water path?

Think of the pump as the heart of the system. Water flows from the hose into the pump, the pump pressurizes it, and then it travels through the high-pressure line to the nozzles along your patio or around your ceiling fan's misting ring.

Without the pump you would only get low-pressure misting, which means bigger droplets and wet furniture. With the pump at 1000 PSI, the stainless anti-drip nozzles atomize the water so finely that it flash-evaporates in the air and stays dry to the touch.

Do you need a special plumbing line or a plumber?

For a standard residential install, no. The whole point of the garden-hose connection is that a homeowner can hook it up without hiring a plumber or adding dedicated plumbing.

The setup kit ($249) supplies the high-pressure line, stainless anti-drip nozzles, brass fittings, and mounting hardware to make the connections from pump to nozzles. The only utility connections you provide are the hose bib and a standard 110V outlet.

• Water in: standard garden-hose spigot
• Pressure: pump boosts to 1000 PSI
• Power: standard 110V outlet

What about water quality and hard water in Arizona?

Phoenix-area water tends to be hard, and mineral content can build up in fine nozzles over time. A filter on the inlet side helps protect the nozzles and keeps the fog consistent through the season.

Regular flushing and occasional nozzle cleaning go a long way in our water. Mobile Misting AZ services systems across the metro, so if buildup ever weakens your fog, local help is a phone call away at (480) 745-1417.

Can the system stay connected all summer?

Yes. Once the hose, pump, and line are connected, the system is ready to run on demand through the summer using the remote or wall switch on a ceiling fan, or the system controls on a patio setup.

When the cooler months arrive, it is smart to shut the water off, drain the lines, and store or protect the pump. That simple winterizing keeps the nozzles and fittings in good shape for next year's heat.
