Do misting fans really work?

Misting fans are not only effective at dropping the temperature in large outdoor spaces, but they can also effect a significant change in temperature while using very little energy. This makes misting fans a very cost effective solution when cooling is necessary.

Do misting fans cool the air?

Misting fans can be very effective; the combination of cooling the air along with the benefits of a fan circulating it around. In ideal situations, it can drop the temperature by several degrees (more than 20F!) without getting you wet.

Which is better air cooler or mist fan?

Whereas, most air cooler are big compared to mist fans and require more space than mist fan. Therefore, to add humidity inside the home if ventilation is not available the mist fan stands as a better option. It evaporates the water, controls excess temperatures and provides better ambiance to the surroundings.

How much does a mister system cost?

You can purchase a complete misting system with a timer for $500 or less. A higher-end unit with a pump will cost at least $1,000 to $2,000. On the other hand, a sprinkler system costs between $200 and $1,000 depending on size and features. These prices do not include installation.

What properties of water will allow these misting fans to provide a cooling effect?

The higher the water pressure the finer the mist and the more completely it will evaporate. It’s this complete evaporation that provides the most cooling. Some water droplets of a low pressure system might not evaporate completely.

Why do misters stop working?

The nozzles may be clogged or the water pressure may not be adequate. Clean the misting nozzles using a commercial mineral deposit cleaner such as Orbit® Misting Nozzle Cleaner or Lime-A-Way®.

Why is my mister not misting?

If the pressure is in the normal operating range for the systems of 220 – 250 psi and you have low mist, the cause is probably either 1) fouled nozzles, 2) a blockage or kink somewhere in the nozzle circuit, or 3) a partially open Agitation Valve. If pressure is lower than 200 psi, continue troubleshooting.

Can I use a misting fan indoor?
