How do you set up a misting system?

Misting systems from Advanced Misting Systems are a great addition to almost any outdoor space, providing a refreshing mist that cools the air and creates a more comfortable environment. Installing one offers many benefits. First, our misting system provides immediate relief from hot weather. They help reduce environmental temperatures, making outdoor spaces more comfortable for relaxation, social gatherings or outdoor activities. Additionally, our mist cooling system can effectively repel insects, creating a pest-free environment. With the ability to turn hot days into enjoyable experiences and deter pests, our effective misting systems are a valuable addition to almost any outdoor space.

At Advanced Misting Systems, we offer a wide range of misting systems. The main difference between our misting systems is pressure. Our team offers high pressure, medium pressure and low pressure systems. We typically recommend using higher pressure systems as they can cover larger areas while also creating an ultra-fine mist. However, for smaller spaces and budgets, our low pressure misting systems can also be quite effective.

Here are step-by-step instructions for installing a DIY misting system:

When installing a misting system, a lot of preparatory work needs to be done. This includes gathering the tools and materials needed to complete the installation, such as the misting system and all its accessories, a drill with a drill bit, and a tape measure.

From there, you can start measuring the area where you are installing the misting system and planning the layout. While planning the layout, you must ensure that the mist pipe is installed where you want it to help with cooling. You must also make sure your system has power and water for the mist pump.

Once you have considered each of these factors, measured the area where you will install the system, and created an installation plan, you can begin installing your mist system from Advanced Misting Systems.

The installation process begins with attaching the mist system tubing to a structure - whether it's a wall, ceiling, or other type of existing structure. For our high pressure systems, this means attaching stainless steel tubing. For our medium pressures, this means attaching stainless steel tubing, copper tubing or a section of nylon tubing. Finally, for our low-pressure misting systems, this means attaching some - but not all - of the nylon tubing. Use the drill as well as the screws, anchors and clamps included with our misting systems to attach the hose to your structure.

During this step, make sure the nozzle placement points are facing outward – away from the structure – and toward the area you plan to cool.

Once your misting system hose is securely attached to a structure, you can attach the nozzles that come with all Advanced Misting Systems misting systems. Make sure the taps are facing outward and are securely – but not too tightly – attached to the installed pipe. Leave a faucet at the end of the system unattached. (It will be attached later – after flushing the system.)

From there, with a high or medium pressure system, you can connect the nylon tubing – which will eventually attach to the mist system's pump – to the stainless steel or copper tubing installed on the structure. Make sure the connection is secure and there are no water leaks.

The next step is to adjust the sewer system pump. First, attach the nylon hose to the pump, making sure the hose is tightly tied to prevent water leakage. Then connect the mist system pump to the water valve which will provide the necessary amount of water to create an attractive cooling mist. 

Once both are connected to the mist system pump, you can connect the pump to the power source. From there, you just need to turn on the system and if it is installed correctly then you are good to go!

Before finishing, it is important to flush the system to ensure it is clean and perform a test to ensure everything is working properly.

As noted in step #3, a hose has become loose from the pipe attached to your structure. Once you turn on the system, water will flow through all the pipes and out of the space where that nozzle is missing. Allow water to flow through the system for a few minutes to ensure dirt is removed from the pipes. Then, turn off the system and attach the last nozzle.
