How much do misting systems cost?
Homeowners nationwide pay an average of $2,715 for an outdoor misting system. Project prices typically range from $2,094 and $3,419. The units themselves run about $1,825 on average, or anywhere from $600 up to $3,200. Professional installation will run between $190 and $675.
Do you need a pump for a misting system?
While low pressure mister systems operate off your home’s natural water pressure, most people will need a pump to make their misting system truly effective, as the small, fine water droplets required for quick evaporation cannot be achieved by low water pressure.
What is misting pump?
Misting pumps take your regular hose pressure, which is around 7 bar 100 PSI, and raises it to 1000 psi to create the 5 micron-sized water droplets that rapidly evaporate, cooling off your target area up to 12° C.
How far apart should Mister nozzles be?
between three and five feet
The mist line hangs from a set of clamps from the parallel beams on the patio; the clamps should be spaced between three and five feet (3′ – 5′) apart. You’ll also need to account for the number of line connectors and nozzle heads.
What are the two main types of mist systems?
Mist systems use nozzles that have droplets that are greater than 50 microns in size. The two main nozzle types are pressure jets, whirl-type and deflection nozzles. The best pressure jet nozzles, have low water output (<5 gallons per hour) work under low water pressure and do not drip between misting intervals.
What is the difference between fogging and misting?
It mostly comes down to droplet size: Fogging pumps produce ultra-small droplets, approximately 1–10 microns. Misting pumps produce slightly larger droplet sizes, approximately 10–100 microns. Because fog has smaller droplets, it basically floats into the air and randomly settles on surfaces without rhyme or reason.
How much does a high-pressure misting system cost?
Low-pressure misting systems typically cost between $30 and $100, mid-pressure systems between $200 and $1,000, and high-pressure systems between $1,500 and $3,500.
How far apart should misters be placed?
We usually suggest spacing misting heads every 2 – 4 feet. The idea is to surround the guests with cool refreshing mist.
