How much cooler will it get?
Misting cools by evaporation, so the drier the air, the bigger the drop. Set your typical summer afternoon and see what to expect under the line.
On a 106° afternoon at 15% humidity, the air under your misting line should sit around 80°.
Air this humid can only absorb a little more water, so mist alone won’t do much. We’d pair it with misting fans that move air across your skin. That’s where most of the relief comes from on sticky days.
Estimate based on the wet-bulb temperature, the coldest the air can get by evaporation, and what a well-tuned high-pressure system typically reaches in open air. Shade, wind and layout all play a part. We measure on site before we quote.
Mist that dries before it lands.
Hardware-store kits run at garden-hose pressure and throw droplets big enough to fall on you, your phone and your cushions. Our pumps push water through stainless nozzles at 1,000 PSI, breaking it into droplets around 10 microns across.
Smaller droplets have far more surface for their size, so they evaporate in mid-air. That’s where the cooling happens.
One droplet from a hose kit holds as much water as 125 of ours.
What goes into a Clearwater system
Four parts, sized to your space. Tap one to see what it does.
-
Builds 1,000 PSI and is sized to your nozzle count. It plugs into a standard outdoor outlet and sits behind a 5-micron filter, so minerals don’t clog the nozzles. Quiet enough to tuck beside the patio.
-
Stainless steel or UV-stable nylon tubing, run tight along beams, eaves, umbrellas or awnings. Clean, straight runs with proper fittings, not zip-tied hose.
-
Brass or stainless, spaced every 18 to 24 inches and angled for your seating. A check valve in each one shuts off instantly, so the line doesn’t dribble when you switch it off.
-
A wall switch, a remote, or smart-home control with timers. Set it to start before guests arrive, or cycle on and off to save water on milder days.

Tune-ups
Spring start-up, nozzle cleaning and winterizing, so it runs like new every season.
Already have a system? We fix any brand.
Spitting nozzles, a pump that won’t build pressure, a line that drips all night. Most problems come down to clogged nozzles or a tired pump, and most can be fixed in one visit.

Questions we get a lot
Will it get me or my furniture wet?
Not with a properly tuned high-pressure system. The droplets evaporate a few feet below the nozzles. If you feel dampness, it usually means a clogged or worn nozzle, or a line mounted too low, and both are easy fixes.
Does misting work when it’s humid?
It works less, because humid air can’t absorb much more water. Above roughly 50% humidity we usually add misting fans, which move air across your skin and keep the mist spreading. The calculator above shows the difference.
How much water does it use?
Very little. Each nozzle uses around a gallon an hour, so a typical patio uses far less in an evening than one cycle of a lawn sprinkler.
We have hard water. Is that a problem?
Every system we install has filtration in front of the pump. In very hard water areas we can add treatment to keep nozzles from scaling and prevent white spots on glass and dark surfaces.
What do I need for power and water?
An outdoor outlet and a hose bib or water line near where the pump will sit. If you don’t have either in the right spot, we’ll tell you during the site visit and work with your electrician or plumber.
How long does installation take?
Most home patios take one day. Larger commercial jobs are scheduled in phases so your business stays open.
