Summer time is coming and it’s time to think of ways to remain cool if you are located where it gets sizzling hot. In areas like Phoenix, Arizona, where it gets extremely hot, people have learned how to cope with the high temperatures, and most of the smarter residents have got “stayin’ cool” down to a science.

One of the best means to stay cool is to “just add water!” In the American Southwest, there are lots of swimming pools! If you don’t have a pool, then go for the lakes – Phoenix is known for having many more personal watercraft per capita than just about almost any other location in the nation! Or go tubing down the river.

They say it’s a “dry heat,” but Phoenicians learned a long time ago how to cool things off with water. Back in the days before air conditioning, they used “swamp coolers” to cool off their buildings. A swamp cooler blows moist, cool air through a building, which cools things off as the moisture evaporates. It’s called evaporative cooling, and it’s much less pricey to operate than air conditioning. This performs very well through the dry months, but not so well during the wet monsoon time of year in late summer. Smart people make use of the evaporative cooler to save cash until the monsoon, then they turn on the A/C.

Out-of-doors, evaporative cooling is effective, even in the moist time of year. That is definitely why so many people in Arizona install misting systems. These systems spray mist into the air and can cool off a deck or enclosed area pretty nicely, particularly if the air is moving. Outdoor fan misters can easily cool the air down nearly 30 degrees (fahrenheit). You’ll notice mist systems at just about all restaurants that have outdoor patios, and any other service that requires folks to be outside in the heat. Many residents who have a backyard outdoor patio install a misting system to enjoy their backyard more in the the hot months.

Although they don’t require much care, you should perform some seasonal servicing to make sure your misting system will work effectively when you need it. In the Fall, this simply means draining the water from the system along with disconnecting the system for the cold months.

In Springtime, just before the Summertime temperature arrives, you will need to reconnect the lines, check the pump (or water supply) to see that it’s working, and examine the mister lines for leaks. If your misting system utilizes stainless steel mist line, this shouldn’t be much of a issue. Take a moment to check the joints and fittings for leaks. If you’re using plastic lines, you’ll want to check the entire system for splits and ruptures.

The next thing to carry out is to be certain the mister nozzles aren’t blocked. If you are located in a region that has hard water, the misting nozzle may possibly be blocked by mineral deposits. It might be possible to simply clean the deposits off of the surface of the mister nozzle, but if the deposits are within the the mister nozzle orifice, you are going to have to find a pin or anything tiny enough to poke through it in order to clean out the clog. Be careful not to expand the orifice! What most expert mist system companies do is simply change out all the misting nozzles since it’s less difficult and usually takes a lot less time than to try to clean out every nozzle, and the cost of misting nozzles is fairly minimal when you purchase them in bulk.
