Patio Water Misters
A patio misting system is easy to install and like having an air conditioner outside. These systems easily attach to an ordinary garden hose and come with all the hardware you need for installation.
They spray a fine mist that cools the air by 30 degrees but there are also some drawbacks. The walking surface can become very slippery when wet and the mister heads are so fine they may become clogged.
Knowing the dangers can cut down on accidents and the heads can be soaked in some CLR or Lime Away for instant cleaning. The parts are also easy to replace and the system is easy to put up and take down for winter storage. Using a water filter between the garden hose and lead line on the mister will help cut down on mineral build up.
Every patio system comes with a 10 foot lead hose before you get to the first misting jet. These are FANTASTIC for home use and I highly recommend them.
