The Orbit 20066 Portable 1/4-Inch Outdoor Mist Cooling System is an incredibly good bargain. It has about 20 feet total of flexible plastic hose. One end has a hose adapter that is compatible with any garden hose, and it comes with metal mister nozzles spaced every two feet in the last ten feet of the hose length. Additionally, it comes with five alligator clips for mounting the Portable Outdoor Mist Cooling System on a chain link fence or thin pipe or rod. Each clip comes with a plastic fastener that can loop around a chain-link fence and snap into place.Installation is amazingly easy. String the length of mister hose where it will be mounted, snap the clips into place, put the mister hose into the alligator clips, then screw the mister nozzles in place. I bought four Orbit Mist Cooling Systems to cool four of our dugouts on our Fast Pitch Softball fields, and I had all four in place and tested in about an hour. Most of that hour was spent stringing out and connecting garden hose. All four worked like a charm.
What impressed me even more than the low cost or the easy installation was the robustness of the design. I believe this mister system will work with almost any water pressure. Our softball facility has one regular garden water spigot per softball field. To supply the misters in each dugout, I had to use one 50 foot garden hose connected to a Y-gate, followed by another 150 foot of garden hose. One mister hose was connected to the Y-gate, and one was connected at the end of the 150 foot length of hose. Both misters worked fine, even the distant mister, in spite of having half of the water going to the first mister and losing water pressure over 200 feet of hose.
It is hard to imagine a better value than this product. If one needs to provide an outdoor cooling system, one could hardly go wrong buying this product.
