You may have noticed a lack of bitching about the cold on our blog lately. That’s because it’s no longer cold. It’s getting hot. That’s why we’re so glad we installed this…
It’s a simple patio misting system available at most home supply stores. We ran the hose under our bimini and installed two misting nozzles. It just runs off our pressure freshwater system, uses very little water, and makes our cockpit look like this…
Wow, it feels nice. I can’t believe everyone hasn’t done this. -Rich

I measured the water consumption of my two misting nozzles: They consume only 0.8 gallons per hour. Not bad. We’ve used them a bit now and really love them.

With these misters, the higher the water pressure, the finer the spray and the less water it uses. Our pressure is a little lower than optimum thus the mist is a little bit course. Because of that, and that the nozzles are located pretty close to us, we do get wet, but that feels good too when it’s really hot out.
After two years, we’re still loving them and wouldn’t be without them.
