While most people await the warm summer days to enjoy the outdoors, excessive patio heat often drives many back into the house. This has the dual effect of having wasted money on building a lovely, functional patio setting and driving up air conditioning bills as families hide from the heat.  Recently, however, patio misting systems have put an end to all that, by bringing air conditioning outdoors.

In the past this was reserved for the wealthy, but is no longer the case. Homeowners today have changed the way they live. With many spending more time in their own backyards, homeowners now create outdoor spaces which are actually extensions of their indoors. Outdoor furniture is no longer the simple patio chairs and table. Now, homeowners are using various types of outdoor furniture on their backyards. They create outdoor living rooms, outdoor dining rooms, and outdoor kitchens, and small recreation areas.

With that said, comfort is the key to enjoying all the spaces. But how can anyone enjoy a space when it’s 100 degrees? Patio misting systems will give you the comfort and enjoyment that you need by cooling the air temperature by up to 30 degrees!

There are, of course, different types of systems for different budgets. The more expensive option uses a pump which is quite silent, and which pressurizes the water, resulting in a very fine spray that evaporates.

Misting systems are now available in low, mid, or high pressure varieties and the price of each can vary substantially. Low pressure systems run off normal house water pressure, mid pressure involves using a 160 psi (approx) pump, and high pressure requires an expensive 1000-1500 psi pump.  All of these options are best served by placing an in line filter to keep the nozzles from clogging due to minerals or grit in the water supply.

The main consideration in any patio misting system is to make sure that the amount of evaporation and the size of the droplets that come through the spray must be small enough to evaporate before they come into contact with anything. In this way, everything stays dry but the area becomes cooled.

Investing in such a system can bring much pleasure and relaxation to any homeowner. All that must be considered is the budget. If you must choose an inexpensive model, try to investigate as much as possible to ensure your purchase satisfies your needs. Always look for a one year guarantee on any mechanical parts in a system.

Looking for the ultimate comfort during the scorching summer months? Patio misting systems will provide the ultimate solution.
