What Are Misters, and How Do They Work?
A misting system is a series of high-pressure water nozzles strategically installed around outdoor living areas—like patios, pergolas, pool decks, and dining areas. These nozzles emit ultra-fine water droplets that evaporate almost instantly in hot, dry climates like Arizona’s, creating a cooling effect that can lower ambient temperatures by up to 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
Here’s how they work:
-
Water is pumped through a pressurized system (usually 1000 psi or higher).
-
The system releases tiny water particles through special mist nozzles.
-
These particles rapidly evaporate in hot air, absorbing heat and cooling the air around them.
The result? A more comfortable, usable outdoor space—even on a 110-degree summer day.
Why Misters Are Perfect for Arizona Homes and Businesses
Arizona’s desert climate makes it ideal for misting systems. The dry air allows mist to evaporate quickly, which not only maximizes cooling but also prevents surfaces from becoming overly wet or slippery.
Benefits of Misting Systems in Arizona:
-
Instant temperature relief for patios, outdoor kitchens, pool areas, and more.
-
Increased usability of outdoor space during the hottest months.
-
Improved comfort for family members, guests, pets, or customers.
-
Energy-efficient alternative to outdoor fans or AC units.
-
Customizable designs to fit your specific layout and needs.
Whether you’re entertaining guests at home or running a restaurant or café with outdoor seating, a properly installed mister system can make all the difference in summer.

Don’t Forget Filtration: Why Water Quality Matters
One of the most overlooked—but most important—parts of a misting system in Arizona is the water filtration setup. Arizona’s water is notoriously hard, filled with minerals like calcium and magnesium that can clog and damage misting nozzles over time.
Without a filtration system, your misting lines and nozzles can:
-
Become clogged with mineral buildup
-
Deliver uneven mist spray or no mist at all
-
Experience premature corrosion or damage
-
Create unsightly white residue on furniture and windows
That’s why Mesa Plumbing always recommends and installs appropriate filtration systems with all our misting installations.
Types of Filtration We Offer:
-
Sediment filters – Remove dirt, sand, and rust particles from water before they reach your misters.
-
Carbon filters – Improve water clarity and remove chlorine.
-
Scale reduction systems – Prevent calcium and lime scale buildup in pipes and nozzles.
-
Reverse osmosis (RO) systems – For the ultimate in filtration, producing ultra-clean water.
Depending on your property’s water source and usage, our experts will help you select the right filtration setup to protect your system and keep your mist cool and clean.
