Diy misting system step 4. Mid pressure misting systems. Low pressure misting systems. High pressure misting systems.

Ed installs the pressure tubing it comes with the kit from the back of the pressure pump to the misting lines. Push the nozzles into the holes until you feel a slight snap or screw them in if using threaded nozzles.

Thinking in terms of the water pressure they use is a more precise way to categorize these systems because the water pressure is the main indicator of a misting. For a low pressure pvc system you need misters that operate at pressures in a range from 50 to 70 psi.
