Keeping cool outdoors is not as difficult as you might imagine. It is also not going to necessarily cost you a lot of money either. There are a range of patio misting systems available for domestic use that are both cheap to buy, easy to install and cost effective to operate and they will provide you with relief from the brutal summer heat while you sit outside.

As with all products, the cost of a patio misting system is going to be determined by the materials used to make it. It will also depend on the amount of coverage you want to have and the level of water pressure that is going to be pushed through the system.

It is possible to buy a basic outdoor misting system for around $25.00 that will provide you with a kit that can be placed in a small patio. For this price you will get a 10 foot misting line, 5 misting nozzles and the fittings required to install it. This type of misting system is known as a low-pressure misting system because the water pressure that is generated comes from the pressure of a standard tap. The system can be connected to the house water source by a garden hose.

While this type of system is nice and cheap, it will only provide a very small coverage area and the misting nozzles will not be the greatest of quality. In a lot of cases the misting nozzles are made of plastic and can be prone to dripping due to flaws in their construction. This is a problem because one of the reasons an outdoor misting system is so successful is because they leave the surrounding area dry when in operation.

When you look for a patio misting system take the time to understand the components in each kit you are considering. Look for quality pieces and be prepared to pay a little extra so that you buy a kit that will continue to work properly summer after summer.
