Misting Fans Keep you Cool When You Need It
Misting fans can be a life saver for those very dry, hot days and evenings. You know when you’re sitting out on a patio and the fan is on but it just isn’t cooling you off? That’s because it’s simply moving the hot air around. Sure it might help a little, but it isn’t enough to keep you comfortable. And you want your guests to be comfortable and enjoy themselves, don’t you? Hopefully by now you’ve realized that getting a little water gently sprayed out can make a huge difference in cooling off the air and helping reduce the overall heat.
There are so many different models out there, do you need to run out and read all the reviews and ratings to decide on the best one? Not necessarily, as there are rentals available. But you should also consider that by buying from manufacturers like Carabiner, Holmes, or Windchaser, you’re pretty much guaranteed a great product that will do its job. You just have to find one at the right price and that is available to you.
The important thing to remember is that you don’t want the fan to spray you. Oftentimes the very nice electric oscillating types will have a lot of power but if not installed at the right distance they will be more of a nuisance than a convenience. This is also something to consider if you have a small patio. You need to be sure you don’t purchase a high pressure or industrial model, as you will practically be swimming. For the smaller areas, you can possibly even get by with a personal model.
DIY installation is very simple with misters, as long as you are comfortable with hanging things and stapling cords to beams. One of the tackiest things you can have is cords hanging everywhere, so be sure you don’t miss this part. Get or borrow a staple gun and use it to neatly attach the plugs and cords to the patio support. That way, no one will notice them or accidentally get hurt by them. You’re well on your way to a much cooler summer with much happier guests after that!
