Concern 3: Uneven misting from nozzles

Inspect system design

1. Are the length of the line and the number of nozzles appropriate for the low-pressure system? ( 24 nozzles/ 84 feet is the max)

• No: Return the system to its original design

• Yes: Proceed to Investigate Nozzle Output.

Investigate nozzle output

1. Choose which description best describes the condition:

• Mist is strong near input and gets weaker toward the end: This is likely due to a lack of pressure in the water source or too many nozzles/too much length. Shortening the output and reducing the nozzles is a possible solution. Upgrade to a pump-based system:

• The output varies irregularly (eg. 2nd and 6th nozzles don’t spray well, but others do): Proceed to the next step-

2. Try swapping a nozzle that sprays poorly with a nozzle that sprays well. What was the result?

• The spray characteristics moved with the nozzle: Try cleaning the nozzles in our special Mistcooling nozzle cleaner solution. If the spray is still uneven after cleaning: Replace the nozzles. Find replacement nozzles here.

• The spray characteristics did not move with the nozzle: Disconnect the misting line from the input line. Use compressed air to blow through the lines, removing the nozzles from the clogged tees one at a time.
