PATIO
MIST
Misting
Systems Cool Down Your Patio
Everyone
enjoys summer parties on the patio, except when it gets too hot.
Then no one wants to venture outside onto the patio. This is
where a good patio misting system will really pay off. It will
lower the temperature by 30 degrees, and suddenly, everyone is back on
the patio having a good time.
There are several different types of patio misting systems available,
and some of them work really well, and some of them aren’t worth the
expense of installing them.
Patio misters have gotten a bad rap because of the really cheap systems
that spray down on the patio like a drizzling rain. Everyone and
everything is soaked. Worse, they only cool down about 10 to 15
degrees.
The way a patio mister works is
through evaporation. Water will evaporate at higher temperatures,
it
will evaporate faster if it is turned into a fine mist first. It
is
this evaporation that cools down the surrounding air, making your patio
as much as 30 degrees cooler.
A good patio misting system will produce a fine mist, about half the
diameter of a hair. The finer the droplet, the faster the
evaporation
and the less moisture that falls like rain on your patio.
Not only will your patio be cooler, you house will be cooler as
well.
If you cool your patio down 30 degrees, the heat reflected into your
house will be less as well. A patio misting system will pay for
itself
with lower cooling costs during the summer time.
One of the smartest investments you can make for your home is to
install a patio misting system. You get to enjoy your patio more,
your
friends will enjoy visiting on your patio more, and your air
conditioning bill will go down.
