Misting Systems in St George Utah
How do misting systems work?

Misting systems cool outdoor air through what is called evaporative cooling. Water is pressurized and forced through specialized nozzles that atomize it into tiny droplets, often referred to as a “fog”. As these droplets evaporate, they absorb heat from the surrounding air, lowering the ambient temperature.

What can I expect the temperature to drop with a misting system?

This process is highly efficient and can result in significant temperature drops, sometimes as much as 30° in areas with low humidity, although 15-20 degrees is a more reasonable expectation.

What size is your pump?

We size each system based on your needs, number of misting heads and length of run.  All our systems use a 3 piston, 1,000 psi pump to create atomization of the water to create the cooling mist.

Is this considered a high pressure system?

Yes.  High pressure systems use powerful pumps to generate 1,000 psi, producing an extremely fine mist that evaporates almost instantly. These systems offer the most effective cooling, even in humid environments, without leaving a damp residue.

What are your misting systems made of?

Our systems are 304 grade Stainless Steel (tubing, fittings and spray heads), providing long life (our Stainless Steel tubing carries a lifetime warranty).  Our supply tubing is nylon, rated at 2,700 psi, and keeps the system from vibrating.

How much water does a system use per hour?

Water usage varies based on factors like the number of nozzles, nozzle size, and how often the system runs. Our nozzles use about 1 gallon of water per hour (we will typically install a 20 mm/.008 nozzle) This is typically less water usage compared to other cooling methods and can be more energy-efficient than air conditioning.  As an example, a 15 nozzle system will use approximately 15 gallons of water per hour. Running the system for 3-4 hours of the day will use a quantity of water equivalent to a load of laundry.

What are some benefits of installing a misting system?
  • Efficient Cooling: They can significantly lower the temperature of outdoor areas, making them more comfortable during hot weather.
  • Improved Air Quality: Misting helps reduce dust, pollen, and other allergens by trapping them in the mist droplets and bringing them to the ground.
  • Insect Control: The mist can deter flying insects like mosquitoes and flies, making outdoor areas more enjoyable.
  • Energy Efficiency: Misting systems generally consume less energy than air conditioning units for comparable cooling effects.
  • Versatility: Misting systems can be installed in various outdoor areas, from patios and decks to commercial spaces and agricultural settings.
Do you have a pre filter?

All our systems come with a Stainless Steel sediment filter, which will stop larger material from making its way to your misting nozzles.  A sediment filter will not successfully capture calcium, which is prevalent in many areas of the Country.  We can discuss and provide different types of filtration if desired.

Does the mist "stain" things?

As a general rule, your surfaces should not get wet. In some instances, if the temperature drops or there’s an object less than 3′ from the mist nozzles, there may be accumulated moisture on the surrounding surface.  If there is high mineral content (typically calcium) in your supply water, and the above occurs, the resulting dried water could leave a residue.

Can I program my system to go on and off automatically?

All our systems come with an app, allowing you to control your misting system from the convenience of your phone.  Not only does this feature allow you to turn the system on and off, it also allows for setting programmed start and stop times and days, as well as setting a “pulse”.  The “pulse” allows you to have the system on for a period of time followed by a break (example: 3 seconds on, followed by 5 seconds off).  This feature is great for times when you do not need the system on continuously but still desire cooling.

How much is a system?

Each system is priced according to the area it will be cooling.  Some considerations are: length of system run, number of misting heads, location to water and power source, etc.  We like to see the area(s) that you would like to cool and work up an exact cost for your system.  That being said, most systems are quite affordable; often in the mid to high $3,000 range installed.

Will your system get me wet?

High-pressure misting systems produce a fine mist that evaporates quickly, so they generally do not cause a person to get wet. Low-pressure systems may produce larger droplets that can cause some dampness; some people have experienced this and assume all systems behave like this. Choosing a system with appropriately sized nozzles and considering the ambient temperature and humidity can minimize the likelihood of getting wet.

What is your current installation time?

We like to do a site visit to see what size system, how many heads, where the water and power supply is, etc. before pricing out any job.  Once we get to see where you would like the system to be and determine the proper unit, we are typically able to do most installs in a couple of weeks.  

Are misting systems high maintenance?

Misting systems generally require minimal maintenance, but regular cleaning of nozzles and filters is important to prevent clogs. Nozzle cleaning may be needed monthly or more frequently depending on the water quality.  Your water quality is the most important factor in time between cleaning, and extended run times will foul nozzles if water quality is poor.  All our nozzles are cleanable, have drip free features as well as an inline filter.  In addition, we offer replacement nozzles at an extremely affordable price.

What are some common issues with misting systems?

Common issues include clogged nozzles, pump problems, and leaks.  Hard water and mineral deposits can clog nozzles, while issues with the pump or leaks in the system can prevent proper pressurization.  Using correct filters, doing regular cleaning, and addressing any leaks promptly can help prevent these problems. We can help or assist you with any of these issues that you may run into on occasion.

Do you offer a season start up and shut down (winterizing) service?

Winterizing the system is recommended to prevent damage, and we are able offer that service to you.  We can also schedule a “season opening” service once the weather starts heating up and you consider putting the unit back in service again.

Does a misting system repel insects?

The mist can deter flying insects like mosquitoes and flies, making outdoor areas more enjoyable.

Is the system loud?

The pump is approx. 56 dB (decibels).  56 decibels is considered a moderately quiet sound level, comparable to a quiet conversation or the hum of a refrigerator

What is your warranty?

Our systems carry a one (1) year warranty on the pump, five (5) year warranty on the nylon tubing and a lifetime warranty on the Stainless Steel tubing.  The nozzles are considered a consumable item and are warranted for 6 months (we have replacement nozzles available for a very inexpensive cost, should you need to replace any).

What is not covered?
  • Damage caused by product neglect or abuse, which includes failure to change oil and or water/oil seals at the recommended interval.
  • Damages caused by acts of Nature or God. This includes damage by a hard freeze.
  • Damages to property or other financial loss beyond the purchase price of the products
  • Damage caused by using the pump for other than its intended reason which is to pump only water.
  • Damage to the pump or nozzles due to water issues, to include poor water quality or the use of hard (calcium) water. If you live in an area with hard water, we suggest using a phosphate filter to reduce calcium buildup in system parts. While this is helpful against potential problems, no filter is guaranteed to prevent all potential water issues. 
  • Damage due to leaving pump in direct sun or rain, damage caused by leaving the pump out in freezing temperatures, or damage to tubes, fittings, or nozzles caused by freezing water. Be sure to bring the pump inside at the end of the season and drain the lines of water. Remove nozzles to prevent implosion due to expanding residual water. Please contact us if we can help.
  • Issues such as noise level or clogging nozzles are not considered defects.
  • Any modification or attempted repairs of the unit or accessories by the end user.
  • This is a Limited Warranty. It covers the product only and the extent of the coverage is limited to the cost of the product itself.
