When it's very hot, you may not want to move from the fan, or get too far from the air conditioner. But if you have a terrace, you have the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors even on those days. And no, we are not talking about swimming pools. Although these are recommended if you like to swim, to have one you must have the necessary space, something that is not always possible.
No, actually, there is a really interesting alternative that can be put on any terrace, regardless of its size: the nebulizers. Like any appliance, it will require a series of maintenance tasks, but none of them will take up a lot of time.
How does the terrace fogger work?
At times when the mercury in the thermometers does nothing but rise, reaching such high values that it prevents us from being out of the house and feeling well, putting a nebulizer can make our day brighter. And of course, imagine sitting on your terrace and suddenly notice how a very fine and fresh water falls on your body. This removes the discomfort you feel when temperatures rise more than we can bear.
But to fully understand what a nebulizer is, you have to know that its operation is quite simple: this it expels the liquid obtained from the hose connected to the water outlet with a high pressure in the form of particles, with which it is achieved that the thermal sensation of the person who receives them is somewhat lower.
In addition, it can also be used to keep plants moist (not watered). For example, if you have orchids or ferns on your terrace, thanks to the nebulizer they will be able to grow better, since these are plants that need high humidity.
Types of nebulizers
There are two types:
- Portable nebulizer: it is one that, as its name indicates, can be taken anywhere. Its height is usually adjustable, and it has several nozzles through which the water can come out at different pressure depending on the function you have chosen.
It is very advisable when you have two residences for example, or when you want to take to other parts of the patio or terrace. - Fixed nebulizer: it is the one that, once installed, cannot be taken from one place to another. It is very interesting when you want to put in a certain place where your family and / or you are going to be a lot.
What is its maintenance?
Anything you buy or have has to be maintained for the longest possible life. In the case of the nebulizer, it is important that it is cleaned and disinfected regularly with specific products, as otherwise there could be a risk of the water causing Legionella, as described in the Royal Decree 865 / 2003.
For this reason, in addition, it is very, very necessary to know the origin of this water. In this regard, it must be said that if this is from the consumer network, its quality will be good, since in the end it is what we use to drink. But if you use well water or another network that is not drinking water, you must disinfect it beforehand.
Where to buy foggers for terraces?
If you want one, you can choose from the ones shown below:
- 🌸【High Quality Irrigation System】: Misting cooling system, the hose is made of high quality PU material, soft, UV resistant, corrosion resistant and durable. Precision brass atomizing nozzle, solid brass garden hose connection adapter, good sealing, no leak, no rust, no clogging. All of these high quality fittings are used in the manufacturing of garden irrigation systems.
- 🌸【Powerful cooling and misting functions】: Garden mist kit, the irrigation system produces water mist, which absorbs heat from the external environment in the hot summer and provides cooling to the outdoor area. Cool the ambient air temperature to 20℃ or 68℉. And the high water mist can purify the environment, play a role in sterilization and dust removal.
- 🌸【Easy to install】: Outdoor terrace mist, no pipe installation skills required, equipped with pipe ties and fixing buckles for easy installation, the spray system can be installed in 10 minutes, giving you coolness in the hot weather. summer. The 15m long water pipe is equipped with 16 nozzles, so you can freely adjust the length you need
- 💦【Premium Spray System】The nozzle of the mist cooling system is made of precision brass, with precise structure design and good self-sealing performance. The hose is made of high quality PE material, soft, UV and corrosion resistant, durable. Good sealing, no leaks, no rust and no clogging. All these accessories are made of durable material and are widely used in mist cooling systems.
- 💦【Energy Saving and Efficiency】Outdoor spray cooling directly uses tap water to produce fine water mist, consumes no electricity, absorbs heat from the outdoor environment, and can reduce the ambient air temperature to 20°C ( 68°F). The mist cooling system saves up to 70% water compared to traditional irrigation.
- 💦【Wide Spray Coverage】Outdoor patio sprinklers can directly use tap water to cool the spray, uniform atomization and wide spray area. It can effectively increase air humidity, reduce dust particles in dry weather, and effectively protect health. To bring a larger area of cold range.
- Misting programmer with connection to a 3/4 "hm tap to mist outdoor rooms with a maximum pressure of 6 bar
- Daily repeat options from 30 seconds to 60 minutes
- Opening duration options from 5 seconds to 15 minutes
- Enjoy the best low pressure water mist at home. You will find thousands of products similar to this one, but none assembled in Spain. Do you know what this type of product consists of? Basically they are resin accessories to distribute the pipe + brass nozzles (also called nozzles) to break the water in your installation into fine drops.
- Why do these systems work? Because water mist evaporates very easily. Why don't they work sometimes? 1.- Because you have NOT tightened the tube until well inside the piece. 2.- Because you crushed the tube when you cut it and now when you insert it you have dragged the inner joint that makes the piece watertight. 3.- Because despite having opened the tap, you have a water pressure below 2,5 Bar. 4.- Because you are using water with a lot of lime, which clogs the nozzles after several uses.
- - OK, but this leaks! - You should know that ALL low pressure systems leak. Unless they have anti-drip valves like those of Drip&Fresh. The water pressure inside the tube ends up escaping when the tap is closed; so that the water that normally comes out of your tap at, for example, 3 Bar, ends up coming out at less than 2,5 Bar as soon as you turn off the tap, inevitably producing drips. If you want systems that don't leak, look for high pressure misting products, but prepare your pocket. They are noticeably better and much more expensive.
- 【High-quality materials】: The fine atomizer nozzles are made of high-quality copper metal, flexible and UV-resistant black PU tube. The threaded adapter contains a strainer to prevent clogging. The compact design of the blue-rimmed T-piece and standard interfaces can maximize sealing and prevent hose leakage.
- 【Energy saving and environmental protection】: The atomization cooling system is cooled directly by tap water, does not consume electricity, does not consume energy. Compare with manual watering in watering can save 70% of the water. Compared with the air humidifying machine, it works faster and more efficiently.
- 【Heat Cooling】: The misting system produces water mist, which absorbs heat from the surrounding outdoor in hot summer, and provides cooling outdoor areas, cools the surrounding air temperatures up to 20℃ or 68℉.
