0 Spot Cooling System Information

It's a bright, beautiful summer day -- the perfect time to mow the lawn, work on your garden, or just lay out and enjoy the rays. Problem is, the heat is so unbearable that you can only enjoy these activities for a short period of time. It is uncomfortable to begin with, and prolonged exposure can be painful -- even harmful. It's a shame to see those summer months go to waste while you stay in your comfortable, air conditioned house.

One solution would be to install a mist system in your backyard. That keeps temperatures cool and allows you to enjoy your favorite outdoor activities, no matter what the temperature. However, those systems can run expensive. If your use of such a system would be limited, perhaps a spot cooling system is the answer.

Instead of covering a broad area (backyard, patio, garden, etc.), a spot cooling system isolates the cooled area. This means that you can be cooled while enjoying the sun, without wasting extra energy by cooling your entire patio.

Small offices can also benefit greatly from spot cooling systems. Air conditioning systems are expensive and not environmentally friendly. They also severely dry out the air, which is uncomfortable for many employees. Not only are spot cooling systems more comfortable, but they are much more cost effective, saving businesses hundreds on energy costs during the summer months. It will keep productivity up, while other offices fall behind because of heat-induced fatigue. In that sense, a spot cooling may eventually pay for it self in results.

1 Patio Misters: What to Know about Patio Misting

Summer is the time of sun, fireworks, and, of course, backyard parties. You've got everything set: the grill is clean and has a new propane tank, there are plenty of deck chairs, the pool is clean and filtered, and you have an umbrella or two to keep people shaded.

The last thing you want at one of these parties is for it to be so hot outside that people go right from the pool (if the water isn't too warm) to the living room, where they can lounge in the air conditioning. Summer parties were meant to be held outdoors, so what can you do to ensure that yours ends up that way?

Patio misting systems can provide the answer you're looking for. Using a high pressure pump, these systems can reduce the outside temperature by about 30 degrees. That means a more comfortable and enjoyable environment for you and your guests. Even if the pool is a bit too warm, the party can still be held outdoors -- with no complaints about the weather.

Your guests will also marvel at the benefits of a patio misting system, beyond the crisp, cool temperature. It maintains an ideal moisture level, so you'll never hear complaints of it being too humid or too dry. They also reduce dust, pollen, and other debris that fills the air, so even guests with allergies will be able to enjoy the party.

Once turned on, the pump takes water from your house's water line and pumps it through a series of tubes. Those tubes are dotted with a number of nozzles that release the water in microscopic droplets. The smaller the droplets, the less they feel like water and the more they feel like cool air. The droplets decrease in size when the pump is of a higher pressure.

Even a less expensive,lower pressure patio water mister for your backyard can make your party comfortable. They can lower the temperature by 10 degrees, turning a nearly unbearable 95-degree day into a pleasant 85-degree one. They droplets will be a bit larger and will feel more like water when they hit the skin, but in hot weather, that can be refreshing.
