Misting systems have a wide variety of home uses, from greenhouse watering to cooling patios to watering landscape and cooling pet runs. In the greenhouse, a misting system consists of pipes or tubes suspended from the rafters above the plants to be watered. Along the run of pipes are nozzles that release water at pre-programmed intervals.
A similar setup can be installed around the perimeter of a covered patio to cool friends and family off during long summer days of play, work, or tanning. Need to leave the dogs outside for a while? Keep them healthy and happy with a misting system complete with sensors to detect changes in temperature that give the misting system the intelligence to know when the day gets hot enough to the point that cooling is necessary.
Solar power enters the equation in two common ways.
