How does mist cooling work?
Mist cooling combines 2 scientific principles:
- Enthalpy of Vaporization: When water evaporates, latent heat energy is used to break the bonds between water molecules, allowing them to transition from a liquid state to a gaseous state. As a result, the surrounding environment is cooled.
- The principle of increased surface area: A larger surface area allows more molecules to escape into the air, facilitating a faster evaporation process.
Combining the scientific principles:
By creating an ultra-fine mist of water droplets, measured in mere microns, almost all of the water is exposed to the air immediately. The resulting evaporation is so fast that a tremendous amount of heat is absorbed in the process. By constantly supplying and evaporating mist, rapid cooling can be achieved without getting things wet!
Types of Residential Misting Systems
One of the first steps in building your misting system is determining the best system type: Line-based, Fan-based, or a Line-Fan-Hybrid.
Create a Curtain of Mist!
It's the classic misting system design that has been tried and true for decades!
Adding a mist line to the open perimeter of covered spaces is a highly effective way to provide cooling. The "mist curtain" surrounding the area will remove heat from any air that passes through the mist, effectively reducing the air temperature inside the "mist curtain" without having to fill the area itself with mist. The goal is to create a cool environment while minimizing the risk of wetness. (System pressure may also affect this- see next section).
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Even Coverage: Line-based systems provide consistent and uniform coverage for areas of various shapes and sizes, making them suitable for a variety of residential needs.
- Less Noise: Line-based systems are generally quieter than fans, so this may be ideal if noise is a concern. (Pump type and placement may play a role in noise levels).
- Aesthetically Pleasing: Lines may be less visually intrusive, as the components are easy to hide or integrate into landscapes or structures.
- Cost Effective: The components in a line-based system are usually much less expensive than installing fans.
- Easy Installation: If you can operate a screwdriver and a step stool, then you can install Mistcooling line-based system as easily as hanging your favorite holiday decorations.
Cons
- Climate Considerations: In excessively windy environments, the mist and cool air may be dispersed before the desired effect is achieved. In excessively still or humid environments, a lack of air flow may lead to longer evaporation times - possible wetness and reduced effect - (System pressure may also affect this- see next section).
- Combatting Radiant Heat: While mist lines are great at reducing ambient air temperature in a covered space, they may not be as effective in uncovered spaces due to the radiant heat from direct sunlight. Misting fans may be better suited for uncovered spaces like open backyards or playgrounds.
Add a Cool Breeze!
It's a super effective and very popular way to stay cool!
By combining the cooling power of mist evaporation with the added airflow, misting fans offer a highly effective cooling solution for any area. The turbulent airflow can increase the evaporation rate of the mist, and fans can be directed to force that cool air in a particular direction, allowing the user to target certain "hotspots." Wetness is also a rare concern, as the added airflow can increase evaporation of any droplets that collect on a surface. (System pressure may also affect this- see next section).
Pros and Cons
Pros
- More Versatile: Can be easily adjusted to target specific areas, making them ideal for a variety of outdoor settings.
- Adaptable to Environment: Misting fans can help overcome the challenges of humid environments with low airflow, but they can also be beneficial in windy environments by forcing the mist into the desired area.
- Less water usage: Misting fan systems generally use fewer nozzles than line-based systems, so less water is used over time, and smaller pumps may be utilized.
- Usage Flexibility: Fans can be operated independently from the mist pump. In-line shut off valves can even be installed on the water supply lines connected to each fan.
Cons
- Installation challenges: Due to the size and weight of fans, installing them may be more challenging than installing mist lines. Enlisting help from a handyman or qualified installer may be recommended in some cases.
- Power Source Requirements: Each fan requires its own, dedicated, outdoor-rated power outlet.
- Cost Considerations: While fan-based systems may offset some cost by allowing the use of a smaller pump, fans normally cost more than mist lines. The additional cost of electrical outlet installation should also be considered.
- Higher Energy Usage: Fans consume more energy due to a fan motor's electrical load.
- Noise: Even though the fully outdoor-rated fans from Mistcooling have whisper-quiet motors, the agitation of the air will still produce sound.
- Shipping: Fan-based systems are larger and heavier, and may need to be shipped as freight, depending on the size of the system. Orders for fan-based systems might not qualify for free shipping (See our shipping policy to learn more).
The Best of Both Worlds!
For the residences that need a little more!
Certain residential spaces may benefit from the curtain of mist around a covered area and the added benefit of increased airflow and targeted cooling. Perhaps your patio is large, but only one side is open. Perhaps you have great shade, but it is humid and has no airflow. Perhaps you want to add a mist line to your patio, but also point misting fans at an open area or playground. We regularly assist our customers with hybrid line and fan systems.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Combines many pros from both previous systems.
- Offsets some cons by carefully balancing them with the added advantages.
- Even More Coverage: The uniform coverage of lines, plus the targeted cooling of misting fans, can ensure that you are cooled to the max.
- Even More Adaptable to Environment: Since fans and mist lines can be operated independently, you can adjust your system's operation according to the demands of the day.
- Aesthetically Pleasing: You may still receive the stunning visual effects of a mist line, while also boosting effective cooling.
Cons
- Cost Considerations: A hybrid line and fan system will be the most expensive of the three system types. A larger pump may still be needed to support the mist lines, while the added cost of fans is also present.
- Installation challenges: The complexity of the system will naturally be greater, and enlisting help from a handyman, electrician, or qualified installer may still be recommended.

Designing Your Residential System
Once you have an idea of a system type and pressure, the next step is plan for your specific needs.
Before we get into specific measuring steps, a few things are important to consider for all system types:
- Water Source Requirements: Each Misting kit comes with a feed line that attaches to a standard 3/4" garden hose thread. Most of our misting pumps require a minimum water pressure of 40PSI coming into the pump while it is running. Having too little pressure and flow could shorten the pump's life span, lead to unwanted vibrations, or even prohibit operation. Most residences have 45-80PSI available at their outdoor spigots, but if you know you have low water pressure, we recommending you contact one of our experts to explore available options before purchasing.
- Power Source Requirements: Our residential misting pumps come pre-wired for standard 110VAC power (Most can be modified for 220VAC upon request). It is recommended to plug most pumps into an outdoor-rated, 20Amp, GFCI protected outlet. Our largest residential pump (2 Gallons per minute (GPM)) requires a dedicated 30AMP breaker and outlet for 110VAC operation, though few residences require a pump that large.
- Determining Pump Location: The best location for a pump is where power and water sources are in close proximity. It is common to find places like this near A/C units, pool equipment, or outdoor kitchens. Unlike many of our competitors, our pumps come standard with a rust-proof, weather-rated enclosure, so it is okay for the pump to be out in the elements, as long as it will not be flooded or submerged. The pump should also be able to sit level. The pump's noise level is also important to consider. We advise locating the pump away from the sitting area, but if it must be close by, we recommend choosing a pump that produces a mild-to-moderate noise level (See noise comparison on the above chart). The pump should not be placed more than 200 feet away from the misting system.
- Water Quality and Filtration: All high pressure systems come standard with a 5-micron sediment filter with a replaceable element. For most residences using municipal water sources, this filtration is sufficient to prevent excessive clogging, cleaning, and replacement of nozzles. However, if you know you have excessively hard water, high calcium content, or your water comes from a well, an additional scale filter should be added. The mid-pressure systems come with a smaller filter that helps with sediment and scale, however the filter may need to be changed more often depending on water quality.
- System Control Options: Each enclosed pump comes with a standard on/off toggle switch. However, we offer additional control options for easier operation. Our smartphone controller is ideal for most residential systems. The app allows on/off operation from your phone, as well as automation functions such as preset runtimes. The smartphone controller requires a 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi signal, so it may not work where Wi-Fi is unavailable. We have other control options such as pre-wired timers, thermostats, humidistats, and more. Feel free to contact our experts for assistance in finding the right controller.
- Tubing Type and Color: We offer stainless steel tubing and a variety of colors in flexible tubing. For most residential applications, flexible tubing is ideal due to the low cost, color options, and ease of installation. Mistcooling currently offers mid-pressure tubing in beige and black, and we offer high-pressure tubing in white, beige, dark brown, and black. Stainless steel may be preferred for aesthetic appearances in some situations. If your residence is in an area where temperatures exceed 110F, or the tubing will be in direct sunlight, stainless steel also may be required to prevent blowouts from heat destabilization.
- Measuring for Your System: See the following sections on measuring for line-based, fan-based, and hybrid system types.
Measuring for a Fan-based System
The first step is to determine the locations where your fan(s) will go. There are several important factors to consider:
- Fan type: We have non-oscillating fans that can be bracket mounted to walls, pillars, ceiling rafters, at any angle. We have oscillating fans that can cover a much wider area, but they are upright, wall-mount only.
- Fan size: Our non-oscillating fan only comes in 18". Oscillating fans are available in 18", 24", and 30," though 18" fans are normally sufficient for residential applications.
- Electrical sources: The fans must be installed close to an electrical outlet, or outlets may need to be professionally installed where fans are desired.
- Safe mounting: It is important that fans are installed in locations that can properly support their weight. In the example pictured above, the fans would likely be mounted to support pillars for the awning, and a post coming up from the concrete for the fan near the play set.
- Fan "throw" range: A single 18" fan can move air up to 15-20 feet, depending on the surrounding environment. If it is oscillating, that can cover a lot of ground. In the example pictured above, only 3 fans were required. 24" fans can throw air between 20"-30" feet.
Once you know how many fans you need, and where you want to install them, you simply need to plan your supply tube's route, and measure that length. Our fan packages already come with 25 feet of flexible tubing per fan, as well as all the fittings you need. If you find you need more than 25 feet per fan, our tubing can be purchased separately in 50-foot, 100-foot, 500-foot rolls, or even by-the-foot.
Measuring for a Hybrid Line and Fan System
We normally recommend following the steps for the prior system types. Add the line-based package to your cart first, then individually add the fans, tubing, fittings, and nozzles that you need according to the fan system instructions.
Important considerations: To avoid over-misting the area, we recommend our patented center-hub mist nozzles when combining lines and fans, as opposed to using fans with full mist rings. Each center hub nozzle has an approximate flow rate of two standard misting nozzles. When building a Hybrid system, it may be best to check with our Mistcooling experts to ensure you don't surpass your pump's output flow capacity.
In the example pictured above, a 1GPM pump that would come with the 60-nozzle line package supports up to 80 nozzles, so adding 4 fans with center hubs would be acceptable. However, this may not be the case in every scenario.
Measuring for a Line-Based System
It starts with finding the open perimeter of the area you want to mist. In the picture above, the 15'x30' patio has 3 open sides, so the open perimeter is 60 feet. We recommend 2-foot spacing between nozzles for mid and high pressure systems, and 3-foot spacing for low pressure systems. Thus a high pressure system for this patio would require 30 nozzles, where a low pressure system would need 20.
Our pre-built misting system packages allow you to choose the nozzle count you need, and it will automatically choose the correctly sized pump!
Additional measurements: Once you've determined your nozzle count, you should also consider the distance between your pump and the mist line, including vertical runs. Additional tubing may be needed. You may also need to consider obstacles and corners, and plan to purchase the appropriate fittings. For example, elbow fittings:
Now, let's consider splitting the system. We'll add a separate pergola to our example:
Notice that we have added a coupling tee to split the line to the 2 areas. Each package comes with one plug to end a mist line, so you will need to purchase an additional end plug for every coupling tee. Also, keep in mind that our nozzle count has increased in this example. The pergola is open on all 4 sides, so it also has an open perimeter of 60 feet. Our combined system for the patio and pergola now has 120 feet of mist line, requiring 60 nozzles.
Let's assume this example is the final design. The homeowner would simply need to add our premium, 60-nozzle misting package to their cart, as well as a coupling tee, an end plug, 7 elbow fittings, and a 50-foot roll of extra high-pressure tubing for the supply line to both areas. It's that easy!

Unboxing 200 PSI Unboxing 250 PSI Unboxing 1500 Standard Unboxing 1500 Premium
Installing Your Lines
Installing your mist line involves a few simple steps:
- Proper angling of nozzles: Ideally nozzles should be pointed down or out 45° from the covered space.
- Clamp placement: line clamps should be installed at least 2" away from misting tees and other fittings.
- Ensure that flexible tubing is cut straight and clean so it can seal properly in the fittings.
- 1/4" stainless tubing comes pre-machined to attach to push-lock fittings. It should not be cut. Short sections of flexible tubing may be used to make up for gaps or odd-sized distances.
- Make sure to follow all air purge procedures before pressurizing the system. Air in the lines can cause vibration and blowouts.
- We strongly advise keeping lines where they are easily accessible for maintenance. While we take great care to ensure top quality, blowouts and leaks can happen. Do not run lines behind walls or in ceilings where damage may result if a leak occurred.
Installing Your Fans
Installing your mist fan involves a few simple steps
- Properly attach your fan using the provided hardware. Each fan type comes with specific instructions in the manual.
- For oscillating fans, be sure to leave enough slack in your mist supply line so it is not stretched too tight as the fan moves.
- Ensure you only use properly rated outdoor power outlets. No extension cords.

- Performance: Just as sports cars offer enhanced performance and speed compared to sedans, a 1500 psi misting pump offers a more powerful and efficient cooling effect compared to a 1000 psi pump. The higher pressure allows for more extensive coverage and quicker cooling, similar to how a sports car can accelerate faster and handle better than a sedan.
- Efficiency of Cooling: In terms of cooling, the 1500 psi system, like a sports car with advanced engineering, provides a superior cooling effect suitable for larger or more demanding environments. The 1000 psi system, while effective, behaves more like a sedan which is reliable but not as powerful.
- Precision in Mist and Speed of Evaporation: Higher pressure in the 1500 psi system creates an ultra-fine mist that evaporates almost immediately, much like how a sports car's advanced features provide a smoother, more responsive driving experience. The 1000 psi pump, while producing a fine mist, does not match the precision or the quick action of the higher pressure system.
- System Complexity and Cost: Similar to how sports cars require more complex maintenance and come with a higher price tag due to their advanced capabilities and materials, the 1500 psi misting pump also demands greater investment in both initial setup and ongoing maintenance compared to the 1000 psi pump.
- Typical Applications: Just as sports cars are often used for specific conditions like racing or high-speed travel, 1500 psi pumps are ideal for large commercial or industrial settings where extensive cooling is needed quickly. In contrast, 1000 psi pumps are more versatile and suited for less intense applications, much like sedans are used for everyday driving.
Originally developed for outdoor cooling purposes, mistcooling systems have played a crucial role in providing relief to poultry, animals, and individuals working in outdoor environments. However, the versatility and effectiveness of misting systems have transcended their initial use, leading to their integration in various other applications such as greenhouse humidification, roof cooling, indoor special effects, and machinery cooling. Extensive studies have consistently demonstrated that misting systems not only excel in performance but also offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional air conditioning systems. By optimizing air conditioning efficiency, reducing operational costs, and enhancing working conditions, misting systems have the potential to drive business growth, improve productivity, and create a safer environment with fewer heat-related incidents and illnesses.

With proper maintenance, a high-quality 1500 PSI misting system can last many years. The longevity of the system is enhanced by using durable materials like stainless steel for the tubing and high-grade plastics or metals for the nozzles.
Up to 200 feet is good enough for the distance between the misting pump and the first nozzle without any noticeable effect on the pressure
Our Mistcooling pumps are equipped with an outdoor rating and housed in a durable weatherproof enclosure, ensuring they are well-protected and ready to withstand the elements for many seasons.
Imagine a pressure washer versus a garden hose. A 1500 PSI misting system, like a pressure washer, uses high pressure to produce an extremely fine mist that evaporates quickly, cooling the air around it without leaving everything wet. This is similar to how a pressure washer cleans effectively by using high pressure to break down dirt and grime quickly and efficiently.
Consider a high-powered speaker system at a concert. Just as these speakers are necessary to project sound clearly over large areas filled with people, 1500 PSI misting systems are capable of delivering sufficient mist over extensive areas, ensuring even cooling throughout large spaces. This makes them ideal for venues where crowd comfort is a priority.
Buying a 1500 PSI system is like opting for a premium all-wheel-drive SUV over a standard car. While the initial investment is higher, the all-wheel drive offers better performance in challenging conditions, just as the high-pressure system provides superior cooling, longevity, and efficiency, proving cost-effective in the long term due to lower operating costs and less frequent replacements.
A 1500 psi misting system requires a clean and reliable water source. This can be provided by standard municipal water systems, which generally deliver water at sufficient pressure. However, the system will likely need a booster pump to reach the high pressures required for effective misting.
Yes, a filter is crucial to prevent clogging and damage to the nozzles and pump. A fine mesh filter is recommended to remove any particles and debris from the water before it enters the system.
Yes, you can use well water or collected rainwater, but it's important to ensure the water is filtered and treated if necessary. The presence of minerals and other particulates in well water might require more robust filtration to prevent nozzle blockage and wear on the pump.
If the water pressure from your source is too low, the system will not function effectively. In such cases, installing a booster pump is necessary to increase the water pressure to the desired level for optimal misting.
It is advisable to test water hardness because hard water can lead to mineral buildup in the nozzles and other parts of the system, which can affect performance and require more frequent maintenance.
Regular maintenance includes checking and cleaning filters, inspecting the pump and nozzles for buildup or damage, and occasionally testing water quality to ensure it meets the system's requirements. Regular flushing of the system to remove any sediment or buildup is also recommended.
