    | Koolfog Misting System Design Guide |

    4 QUICK DESIGN BASICS

    1 A common mistake people make when designing a system is to plan on sitting "in" the
    mist. If you're working with a covered patio area it is sometimes better to surround the
    area and let the mist create a wall that actually cools the entire area. It brings the total
    area temperature down and at the same time guests are not getting wet from mist
    being sprayed directly at them. If the area is very wide, additional lines can be located
    on the interior to allow for more cooling.

    2 Remember to give yourself options when designing a system so that you can adjust
    things slightly after the initial installation. For example, build in the capability of
    rotating the lines slightly to adjust the angle of the mist. Remember to work around
    obstructions such as speakers, televisions, umbrellas, planters, or ceiling fans. You do
    not want the mist to collect and drip.

    3 Every misting pump makes noise. Plan on tucking it away with other equipment like
    air conditioning units or pool pumps.

    When selecting a misting system, quality matters. Consider these factors when
    determining which system is right for you:

    • Does the system come with a full set of gauges that will help pinpoint
    service issues?
    • Are serviceable parts easily accessible?
    • Do the nozzles include check valves in order to prevent dripping?
    • Are the components used in the system designed to protect against dust
    and water?
    • Do you need a system that is enclosed to protect critical components or to
    dampen sound?

    GETTING STARTED

     MEASURE AREA
    Measure the length of misting line and the distance from the pump to the misting line.
    Be sure to include changes in elevations.

     SELECT YOUR NOZZLE TYPE


    Your nozzles are created for different types of areas. For example, we have nozzles that
    are designed for humid vs. dry regions. Also, if you are mounting higher than 8-10’ you
    can upsize your nozzles to accommodate.

     DETERMINE YOUR PUMP SIZE


    The Koolfog pump size is determined by the length of misting line required and your
    nozzle selection. See our diagram to identify your pump model options.

     PLAN FOR DURABILITY


    Determine what time of day the system will most often be running and for how long. If
    you are primarily using the system in the evening then remember that it is naturally
    cooler and more humid so you should adjust the nozzle type. If you are operating 7
    days a week you should consider a commercial grade system only. Also, the stainless
    steel systems are more durable than the nylon systems.

     REVIEW FITTINGS PACKAGE


    Determine if you need extra fittings for those twists and turns. Elbows allow you to
    work around corners. Tees allow you to move in two directions. Unions allow for
    joining sections of stainless steel or nylon lines together.

     DON’T FORGET SERVICE


    Your system will need the oil changed after the first 50 hours of operation then every
    500 hours thereafter. Your filters should be changed out at least once a season. Also, it
    is always a good idea to have a few nozzles on hand just in case.

    MISTING SYSTEM KITS

    Koolfog's Misting System Kits make it easy to customize your outdoor cooling system. Our kits
    include misting line, misting nozzles, stainless steel or nylon tubing, compression or push-in
    fittings and fasteners. You only need to select your pump and nozzle type.

    WHICH KIT DO YOU NEED?
    Koolfog Misting System Kits are organized by the type of system (i.e. STAINLESS STEEL or
    NYLON) and the LENGTH OF MISTING LINE required. Locate the Misting Kit size and identify
    the Koolfog pump(s) that will work for you. Note that this may change based on your climate.
    Lastly, determine if you need additional components to complete your installation such as
    additional high-pressure hose or additional fittings.
