Home and commercial patio spaces are a wonderful way to add to the possibilities for any type of property. Having the ability to keep outdoor areas cool and comfortable during the hot days of summer allows for greater enjoyment of the area.
Patio misting systems are a perfect addition to a private patio or outdoor space for a restaurant, hotel, resort or a bar or sporting venue. These systems are very reasonable to install and easy to maintain and operate. Choosing the correct misting system will be critical to maximizing the performance and benefits.
To help select the best misting system pump for your commercial or residential use, here are some important factors to consider. By comparing different manufacturers and options, it will become evident which systems are going to deliver the most efficient temperature control.
Add a Pump
There are many commercial and residential patio misting systems on the market today that connect directly to the water supply for a home or commercial building. Several issues create problems for these types of systems, resulting in poor performance, dripping and uneven misting along the length of the tubing.
The biggest concern is the drop in water pressure through municipal systems at peak usage times. Water pressure can easily drop to a level below what is needed to maintain the fine mist required for cooling. Instead, when the pressure drops, the nozzles will drip. Drips result in messy, wet areas under the nozzles and a dramatic reduction in efficiency.
A pump added to the system, even for home use, provides consistent pressure throughout the day. It also ensures the same pressure at nozzles distant from the pump, providing greater overall cooling efficiency.
Talk to the manufacturer of the patio misting systems under consideration. Ask for recommendations for the correct capacity of pump for the configuration of your misting system. With this information, it will be easy to compare options and prices to make the best choice.
