Part 2
My misting system consists of the softeners, a series of timers, piping, and nozzles. Others have used a thermostat or humidistat to turn on the system. There are advantages to each method. The timers energize a 12 volt DC solenoid valve delivering the treated water to overhead ¾” pvc pipes fitted with low volume nozzles. Misting timing changes frequently throughout the year. In Summer, my timers fire the system every 4 minutes for 4 seconds. Picture is of the timers. I am a do-it-youself guy but you can buy a single timer to do what these three do.
