Where can I place the pump? Can the pump be out in the open?
Our pumps are made for outdoor use but cannot be in direct exposure to rain and sun. If there is a deep patio that provides this basic shelter, then it can be out in the open on the patio. Otherwise, it should be placed in a shelter.
What can I use as a shelter for the pump?
Our customers use fake rocks, outdoor storage bins, and outdoor furniture as pump shelters. The shelter must be ventilated, so if it does not have ventilation openings they need to be created. Fake rocks are the easiest to use as they blend with exterior and are made of soft material that is easy to cut and create ventilation openings.
To make sure there is sufficient ventilation, make 4-6 2inch cutouts from each of the 4 sides and drill a drainage hole in the bottom (this is only for storage bin, fake rocks have no bottom) so any water that gets in can drain and not submerge the unit in water.
How much cooling can I get / What temperature drop will I get from your misting system?
Our misting system can achieve up to 20F temperature drop. Actual drop that you get depends from many factors: configuration of your space -more open spaces achieve less drop while spaces with hard top roof and one or more sides closed can achieve bigger drop, air temperature -hotter days can evaporate more water and thus you can get a bigger drop, humidity levels -the higher the humidity the less capacity in air to absorb water. So on a 105F day with 30% humidity, and a patio with hard top roof and two closed sides, you can comfortably get a 20F drop.
