That sounds great. Did this include the timer? Even if not it was a good price. What brand was it? I could use another 2 or 3 for my hosta beds.
You will see the temp go down at least 5 degrees when the misters are on.

no timer bought a four a day one for 38 bucks I am so happy over such a small thing lol

Steve, how are you using this system...are you overhead misting?

We just put together our HFGH and now John has decided to do extras on it. We have louvers installed and automatic openers (heat sensative) and now he wants to install a mister system for it. He's not a gardner, but I am getting him to be one without him even knowing it. I need as much info as possible on a misting system. Steve, if you can provide more info, pics or adivse I would greatly appreciate it. I would like to go your route, with a home made mister system.

If anyone else has suggestions please provide too!!

Thanks
Sandy

I used the Toro misting system from HD. They have kits or you buy the indivdual parts like I did and make up your own. It was very inexpensive. The timer cost the most. But a lot cheaper than the digital ones.
I use mine just for cooling. But I plan on adding a second line for watering or just adding more misters and running them for a longer period of time. My greenhouse is not set up like a production GH so it's harder to set up the watering system.
This is some I have set up by the pool to cool the air. I hang it from the gazebo. Feels great on a hot day.

I've got mine set up at one end and my high mounted exhaust fan at the other for evaporative cooling during the summer. I'm going to get a sprinkler system valve and hook it up so that when the thermostat trips the fan it will also turn on the mister during the summer.

I set it up with two over head misters......I then ran a line on both sides half way up the wall...and used one mister pointing up on all the walls except the back wall where I have two or three....I run it for 2-3 minutes 4 times a day and seems to be watering great...When the temps rise I may go for 5 minutes...I water at 4:30Am, 9:30Am,2:30PM and 6:00pm....all babies are happy lol...and it seems to lower my inside temps...although it hasnt been too hot here I havent had the vents open much...and all plants are just chipper
