High pressure misting systems operate at pressures of 800 PSI (pounds per square inch) or higher, creating a fine mist that evaporates quickly for cooling without wetness. Low pressure systems, typically using household water pressure (around 40-60 PSI), produce larger water droplets and might leave surfaces damp.

Yes, you can upgrade a low-pressure system to a high-pressure one by adding a high-pressure pump and replacing the nozzles and tubing with components designed to withstand higher pressures.

Regular maintenance includes cleaning the nozzles to prevent clogging, checking the tubing for leaks or damage, and ensuring the pump (if applicable) is functioning correctly. It's also recommended to use a water filter to reduce mineral buildup.

Yes, misting systems are safe for use around children and pets. However, it's important to ensure that electrical components are properly installed and out of reach, and that the area remains slip-free when using lower-pressure systems that may leave residual moisture.

Yes, there are energy-efficient misting kits designed specifically for hot climates like Arizona. These systems use less water and energy while effectively reducing temperatures in outdoor spaces.

The coverage area depends on the design and spacing of the nozzles in the misting system. Typically, misting systems can be set up along the perimeter of the patio.

If you want a denser mist, you might configure the system to cover a smaller area with more overlapping mist. Conversely, for a lighter mist, you could spread the system over a larger area.
