Water Mister

outdoor misters, water mister,

A water mister keeps you and your guests comfortable on those hot, sunny days by the pool. We have found a way to keep the guests outside and out of the air-conditioned house, by adding outdoor misters and providing lots of shade umbrellas around the pool.

Outdoor Misters

A patio mister works on a very simple principle - water is forced through a very small nozzle which creates a very fine mist. Once these tiny droplets of water are exposed to the hot air, they quickly absorb the heat and then evaporate.

This is known as Flash Evaporation. Flash evaporation cools the surrounding outside air. Outdoor misters can drop the temperature by up to 30 degrees F.

It does not work by getting you wet. The more expensive outdoor misters create a very fine mist that quickly evaporates so people or furniture don't get wet. These less expensive models don't have as tiny a nozzle and the mist may get you wet, depending on how close your sitting to it.

The purpose of an outdoor mister is to have the mist evaporate into the air as fast as possible. The flash evaporation is what cools the air.

This is a great, inexpensive way to drop the temperature out by the pool - especially for the guests who don't come in their swimsuits or don't swim.

I have used the one you see pictured for pool parties. It works with any standard garden hose. The guests who sit near the mister said they liked the cool air especially when there was a breeze.

We kept the outdoor mister far enough away so that no one got damp, but were able to enjoy the lower temperature. Home Depot sells them for $9.99 but when these water misters come in, they go really fast.

You can also purchase them on line at MistyMate.
