What type of maintenance is required for a misting systems?
Misting systems typically require a minimal amount of maintenance, outside of periodic cleaning or changing of nozzle heads. Oil changes are required after the first 50 hours of use and then every 500 hours after the initial change. The number of filter changes in the equipment depends upon the water quality being introduced into the misting pump. Regardless of water conditions, filter cartridges should be changed a minimum of once per year or cooling season. Supplemental water conditioning is available for areas of very hard water to reduce nozzle failures. If potential freezing conditions may exist where the system is located, the system (pump, manifold, misting lines, and filter cartridges should be drained and/or purged with air to reduce the potential for damage to equipment.
