Do Patio Misters Really Help?

As the spring temperatures rise in the Phoenix Metro area we tend to do more outdoor cooking.  As our afternoon temps past 100° we look for ways to cool off the patio.

Many of us install the “Patio Misters” to help that cooling off process.  Do they work and how much cooling can we expect.  The dew point is the basis of how well they work.

How does a patio mister work? Well it depends on which system you use. There are basically two types of misting systems on the market. One is an expensive system that utilizes a pump to pressurize the water and send it through pipes and tubing to spray out a nozzle in a fine mist. The finer the spray, the quicker it will evaporate, creating a cooling sensation. A good system will lower the ambient air temperature up to 30 degrees.

There are several different versions of the more expensive system, the main difference being the pump itself. In the lesser quality systems, the pump is fairly loud. With the high end systems, the pump is almost silent. You can build a screen around the pump and eliminate most of the noise and hide the system out of sight.

The inexpensive systems rely on the household water pressure to send the water out the spray nozzles. At one time, the quality on this type system was disappointing. The droplets were very large, which resulted in a light rain falling on you and your patio, getting everything wet in the process. It also only lowered the ambient air temperature about 10 to 15 degrees.

However, for most of us, we are limited to how much we can spend on a misting system. You can choose an inexpensive system, that hooks up to your garden hose, which will produce large droplets and soak everything on your patio. Or, for about the same price, you can get a better quality system that will produce results like the systems that cost ten times as much.

When it comes to patio misting systems, it pays to do the research and find which system produces the best results.

Chase away mosquitoes, flies, yellow jackets...whatever nasty critters you have flying around! Insects naturally move away from the mist created by our patio misters. Surround your family with a cooling mist and keep those bugs away at the same time. Many customers tell us the systems would be worth the price for this impact on insects alone. You experience the cooling as an added bonus!
