Yes it will work perfect for a misting. It's just the right amount of pressure

I wouldn't recommend for that application as the pressure is not high enough.

I don't have my mister in a greenhouse. It is on my patio, but I would say that the mist spread about 3 feet in diameter fro each nozzle.

I don't see why not. It is based on ground water temp and flow rate. I live in SWFL and the ground water temp is 65 degrees which gives me a flow rate of 2. I only use it for one outside shower and that has been more than sufficient to have hot water non-stop. It actually might be too strong for your use because you say your water temp is 70 - 140 (very hot). You should consult a professional plumber perhaps about your current system and they may be able to add a solar panel and adjust your water temp - might be cheaper.

There is a "Patio kit" that might be better served. Both kits come with 25 psi regulators. You will want a lot of 1/4" lines where as the "Garden kit" is built on a 1/2" trunk line. The Garden kit is very accommodating though and will serve your needs but you may need to purchase additional 1/4" line and emitters.

The pump can certainly pump water 3' up if the connection is narrow and the pump adjustment is on high. Mine is in a small goldfish pond and it pumps all year long in icy NH. I have never used a mist making end. The problem I see is that the water would scatter and evaporate, leaving the pump dry. If you lived nearby, I would have you come over and give it a try.

A small amount shouldn't be a problem, use a spray bottle and one to two mists should be fine

I can't tell you the "pressure" I just turn on the outdoor faucet until I get the desired mist. It works well and I love using it for suntaning and also misting my plants.

The valve is battery operated, so I see no reason why it should not work with your lower pressure. You may have to set it for a longer water duration time to get the amount of water you want.

I also thought that mine was broken ad well after a short amount of time. mine doesn't seem to work if I fill it past the 300 ml line. I would suggest trying filling half. Thats how I get mine to produce the mist.

We use a regular 1/2" hose and have good pressure. I use the "shower" setting for watering plants and have no problems with pressure. I haven't used the "jet or center" settings for a stronger spray. I have used soaker hoses before and don't think there would be a issue. Try it and see.

I am not sure but the misting system we put in was purchased from walmart, ours is made out of PVC pipe with the section with the misters being bought seperate, looks like a PVC fitting w/ the mister attached.

With the right brass I imagine you can make it work. Just remember there is a minimum pressure in, and the water out is pretty hot so i wouldn't use a cheap hose. Something of a wash machine grade hose will do it. This is my personal (not professional/qualified technician) opinion. Good luck. By the way, since its installation it has worked like a dream. It is installed on an outside wall in an airy patio. Last week we had an avg. of 28 F degree night for 5 days and it fired right up without any freeze issue. The one it replaced froze daily if the weather dropped below 32F. Good luck.

I have an Arizona Misting system I replaced some bad misting heads with. However, per Orbit's website, https://www.orbitonline.com/products/mist-cooling/maintenance-and-accessories/nozzles/standard-nozzles/misting-nozzle , the nozzles have the following specs: Minimal water use of 1/2 gallon of water per hour per nozzle Screw into any 10/24 threaded mist nozzle openingI hope this helps.

NO, the fittings are designed to be used with 3/4" Garden Hose connections. Could you adapt the fittings for air? I suppose you could be I've always found that air will leak where water will not. Plus I'm not sure the increased pressure of air would be smart. ie: Water 30-50psi Air up to 120psi.

I couldn't find anything in the instructions about exposure to rain, but since the fan looks like an ordinary fan (no special shielding or cover for the fan motor), I don't think I would do that. The mist comes from 3 brass nozzles that are fed by rubber tubes so the fan motor never really comes in contact with water. I'm sorry I can't be more definitive. Hope this helps.

You should not have water around the unit. It could be you are positioning the mist into the indentation in the top that is then overflowing. Other than that I would say your unit is malfunctioning. Good luck.

There is no definite answer, but the unit is designed for regular consumer use. The standard water pressure for most residential are 35 to 80 psi. So anywhere in between would work. The misting nozzle used for this fan is a patented brass nozzle so it will produce fine mist regardless. We don't know how much water this unit uses.
