Portable DIY Mister System - Beat The Heat - No Hose Needed
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 сер 2024
- Need to beat the heat? Make your own, portable Outdoor Cooling System. My design for a fully self-contained misting system lets you take benefit of evaporative cooling like the pros. This refreshing misting system does not need a hose / faucet connection or a power source. I will show you exactly how to make one for yourself (Free tutorial). The whole effect of a mister system takes advantage of a process called evaporative cooling; moisture exposed to air flow creates a cooling effect.
Once made you can quickly take the misting system down and set it back up somewhere else. Take it camping, picnic, BBQ, Sports, tailgaiting, golf cart, ATV or just about any other place where you need relief from the heat.

THIS Is just BRILLIANT!!!! the pack i purchases has 15 nozzles. So 5 nozzles are permanently installed at home, which is enough for me. connected to the Spray bottle. When Beach hopping i simply detaches from the main nozzle line. the remaining nozzles "kit" are ready to go!! We set up 5 under Gazebo at beach. and 5 nozzles under braai area. and simply just move our Spray bottle and connect. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY OUT GOING FAM. ENJOY!!!!!
Oh my goodness! I am in Vegas and TOTALLY making one of these for my condo patio this summer! Thank you!!!
Fantastic! I'd love to hear how it turns out if you get a chance to come back with an update. Thank you for taking time to watch my video and post a comment. I really appreciate it!
Thanks so much for the idea ! I “updated” the setup by using a cheap , battery powered indoor plant irrigation system , instead of using the drip fitting it came with , I used the fittings for misters you showed and worked like a charm for my balcony that has no water source .
I have a water dispenser so I have those big 5 gallon water jugs , and I used one of them to stick the pump in . I love how easy it was
Hello, can you please provide me a link or name of the "battery powered indoor plant irrigation system". Thank you.
@@vimal-guru you can search for "LetPot WiFi Automatic Watering System "
I love in Florida I do mechanic work, between March and November working outside is nothing short of awful. I've been tossing different ideas around using this set up but with a small portable power station and a jet pump for when power wasnt an option. I have 2 of these sprayers (which ironically is what made the pond pump idea spring to life) it's always funny to me when moments like this happen because had I not been overthinking it and taken my own advice K I S. S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) I'd have seen the answer was right in front of me the entire time lol sometimes i wonder if I'm actually smart or if the smart times are just accidental 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Fyi first video I watched was this one and I need look no further. Thanks for sharing! I'll let you know when I build it :)
I was looking at buying a system for over our pigs’ pens while at shows. I new there had to be a DIY. Your video is saving me $100+ thanks so much!
Awesome... so happy to hear that. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch my video and post a comment. I really appreciate it.
I use a small pump for fish tanks, powered by a portable battery. I can then just throw a tube into a water bottle or 1, 5 or 10 gallon jug/water bag. The pump is pretty quiet too and lasts all day.
how did you connect the pump to the system?
@@alexzucker7116 The electric pump just replaces the weed sprayer. Its not a submersible style aquarium pump so it has a inlet and outlet for hoses to attach. I simply ran intake hose into a water bottle and the other hose to some mister nozzles. HAOWIN Portable Misting System on amazon showed me the method and I just bought my own stuff for $15
I have a small pond pump. I was wondering how long the water source would last. I'm glad I scrolled the comments :) do you by chance know how many gph it is? Just wanted to compare with the gph of the pump I have to see if I should go for the smaller one.
I'd be very interested to know what type of pump you tried using and how many nozzles and length of hose can be accomodated by such a pump.
Brilliant! I needed a portable misting solution for soccer games, thanks!
Thanks so much for the feedback. That is a great idea too! Part of my intent (for my own use) was for taking to games and attaching to a pop-up shade.
@@DialedInDIY That is my hope. Going to a tournament in a town that is know for its heat. Bought a pop up shade and am now looking for a mister set up - this looks great! Thanks
This was great, definitely inspiring a DIY build for my mountain bike. I cant ride it part of the year in AZ though I am wildly underwhelmed by commercial offerings something this may buy me a little more time outside.
Ok, that was awesome. I have been searching for weeks on how to do this for my upcoming Car Show. with the blazing asphalt of the car show, it's just brutal outside. So this year, we're gonna try this. I have 4 weeks to make it and verify it works. My distance is 20X30 ft. (2 10x30 tents). I'm hoping I can cool it all down all the HOT Car Guys and Gals. We will see how it works....
Did it work?
Absolutely awesome idea! Gonna do this next time we go to the beach or tailgating.
Putting one on my kayak sun shade!!!!
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! Would you happen to have a shopping list? I looked but I didn’t see it. I tried to remember from you video but I kept forgetting things. Lol. Old brain here lol. UPDATE. I just found your list. Again thank you ❤
Awesome set up. I am going to try this! Thank you
I'd love to hear how it turns out if you get a chance to come back with an update. I'm currently dusting mine back off to set them up again... should have already had them set back up but better late than never. Thank you for taking time to watch my video and post a comment. I really appreciate it!
So I could not find a fitting that would screw onto the handle. SO... I snipped the ridged tubing of the wand, warmed up some 3/8 clear tubing, pushed it on the stub, 3/8 to 1/4 push coupler and money in the bank. Have my on off and quick way to disconnect to refill. Thank you for the ideas
I also couldn't find the fitting anywhere, thanks for the alternative
Thanks brotha I have to do the same !!
This is BRILLIANT! Thank you!!
Wondering how long the tank will last before needing a refill?
1/2 gallon per hour x 4 sprayers = 2 gallons per hour or 1 gallon per 30 mins
How long does the 1 gallon sprayer last with how many misting tips. Also do you need to pump it up a few times during use or only initially. This is such a great idea
I run mine in Louisiana when I have to be in the vehicle not moving for a while. Stay in the vehicle with the air on. But run one up front to my vehicle front grill. So when the vehicles cooling fans are running. It sucks the mist through passing over the radiator keeping the engine cooler than it just sitting sucking in 90-100° temps.
I figure it can’t be all that bad. If your flying down interstate while it’s pouring. The drops hitting the grill or following behind other vehicles it’s sucking up mist anyway.
An if a motor had to run on idle for periods of time in the heat. Not getting forced air from moving. But forced air from the cooling fans.
A cooler engine is less wear an not as hard on the engine if it’s running cooler.
Hi! Awesome idea and awesome video! I have one question though. For the one gallon pump sprayer how long would the misting last before having to refill the tank?
excuse me sir you are a genius
You are far too kind sir (but I'll still take the compliment). Thank you very much. I really appreciate the kind words and you taking the time to post a comment!
I’m going to try this Thanks
Gonna try this in the next few days
Awesome, I'd love to hear how it turns out for you. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.
Man I was thinking of doing usb mini water pumps but this makes so much sense... I'm thinking of filtering the cooler water while going camping to run this... Keeping my ice "dry" and getting cold water... I just wonder if I can find a pressure pump and an adapter without opening up the box and taking the thing apart n the store...
That sounds like a great idea. You can make it efficient for that use by using fewer mist nozzles if you only need it to cool an area for a person or two also.
@@DialedInDIY I got a 2 gallon. 4 nozzles, I'm going to have to flex seal the adapter, even with a pressure washer the threads just don't go well (plastic n brass) but beyond that it's great. We will be in a shadeless so cal spot... And this under a 10x10 tent will be our lil Oasis. Thank you for the idea. Im glad I found this vs the mini USB pumps. "Work smart party hard"
@@thcrtn Love the creativity and definitely appreciate the shadeless so cal spots... aren't we supposed to be getting closer to winter? I've always heard "Work smart, play hard" but I like your version better.
Great idea! I was also looking for an electric pump but getting the pressure right and having a power source is my issue. This solution will really up my camping game this summer!
@@caitlinquantock1458 it works really well, and last for a bit... Enough to rest up for a bit... Also put up some sort of sheets to catch the mist. The cooling evaporated water will help in the shade... Just make sure the ground is absorbent or you have a rug... It's going to soak everything... A "mist lounge" should be its own area/tent... Good luck if you can filter your cooler water (the drink cooler) it's even better... Ice cold and a life saver!!!
Great setup! About wow long do your misters run before having to re-pump/pressurize the tank again?
This is a popular question right now...
It is a great question and it is a multi-part answer. First, it depends upon how many of the nozzles I have turned on (i.e. half or all). Second, it depends upon how much pressure drop you are ok with before you want the pressure back up. Third, I typically get over 15 minutes before hitting the pump again. I have not used them recently but plan to this weekend so I will try to time it and get more specific.
Great idea! I am thinking about something like this to set up various small misting areas in my garden. Would it work with a battery powered sprayer like the 2 or 4 gallon ryobi? How much pressure will the misters need to produce mist? Thanks for this idea!
Thank you very much. I really appreciate the kind words and you taking the time to post a comment! It would absolutely work and done successfully (subject for a future video). Given that the hand pump version is able to pull off a mist the battery powered pump version works even better... more consistent. The amount of pressure needed depends on factors like the type of nozzles being used as well as the effect desired. You can experiment with the pressure that works best for your needs.
How long does a gallon of water usually last / how much water do you go through? Trying to plan our own DIY system for camping and unsure how much water we would likely go through
Where did you get your 3/16 to 1/4 hose barb adapter from? Having issues trying to find it
I believe that I picked it up from ACE Hardware in the plumbing section. Hope that helps.
I'd have better luck finding frog hairs than that 3/16 x 1/4 hose barb to fip adapter. Plenty of male threads on the large side but female threads, super hard to locate.
Cool! Can I buy this set up? Peace from Costa Rica!
Please update your parts list to specify "Female" 3/16 to 1/4 adapter. Male is WAY more common. Actually....I can't find this brass fitting at Home Depot, True Value, or even Amazon. :/
Thanks for the video! Do you have to pump the chemical sprayer pretty often?
Not as often as I had thought I would need especially if I am only running half the line. There are also versions for sale that have a built in pump that runs off a battery. Costs a bit more but the pressure is constant and consistent.
@@DialedInDIY How often, more or less, DO you have to pump the system though? Whether it be half of them, or all?
Thank you in advance!
Amazon sells 49' misters for under $13 that have all the parts needed. I bought 2 so I'd have extra parts. Going to use under my gazebo to keep cool should there be rolling blackouts this summer. Let's go Brandon!
@Adrian King ULTRA MAGA!
Do you have a link?
I need yo cover a 100m of patio
I used a misting system hooked it up to a presure pump opened the water and only half of the sprayers work
The begining say first 5 meters working then it starts to drip and the other half nothing not even a drop
Please help whats wrong
You need a bigger pump or shorter hose. 100m is a lot of hose and every meter of hose, and every nozzle contributes to head losses, which will reduce your water pressure.
I want to create this misting system with a 1-2 gallon tank that I can connect to a power outlet rather than a hand pump. Is there any frugal method to hook a misting system to an electric powered pumping system? I do not have a water source I can connect the misting system to.
There are in-tank pumps you could use with this design. All it needs to do is be submersible and create air pressure, and seal to the tank.
Do you respond to the comments??!! Love your videos!!
Yes I do... I try to respond to almost all comments, including the trolling comments that are actually kinda funny. Sometimes there is an unfortunate delay either due to work/life schedules OR sometimes I do not get notified of all comments (so I don't see them until I check for unanswered comments). Thanks so much for watching my videos and taking the time to comment!
I love this idea, but I'm in an apartment right now. They frown on DIY anything!
I totally get that! Especially if you are on a higher floor and no balcony... indoor misters probably not going to go over too well with management :-) Hope all is well!
How long does it run before pressure dies down?
Great question and it is a multi-part answer. First, it depends upon how many of the nozzles I have turned on (i.e. half or all). Second, it depends upon how much pressure drop you are ok with before you want the pressure back up. Third, I typically get over 15 minutes before hitting the pump again. I have not used them recently but plan to this weekend so I will try to time it and get more specific.
@@DialedInDIY did you ever get more specific on how long between pumps?
Sweet! Pump your ass off and stay cool!
Hmmm... couple of ways that could have been intended. I think I will go with the assumption of using in a gym while getting a good workout. Yes, that would work. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment.
Sorry, but this doesn't look very good. That is not mist, this going to soak you. Misting systems need much more pressure than a little chemical sprayer can offer. If you want a misting system get a 100 psi diaphragm pump and a battery.
Sorry you didn't like the look of the output. For the purpose and effect I was after this worked out perfect. Nobody gets soaked, the effect of evaporative cooling is attained, the cost is kept to a minimum and the unit is easily portable without a direct waterline.
You are completely correct that the typical pressure requirements of a commercial mist system is much higher. The downside in striving for that effect is a significant increase in cost. That said, if I was going to run one along the side of my home or at a place of business (restaurant) I would hook up a direct feed water source and a regulated pump.
Thank you for taking time to watch my video and post a comment. I really appreciate it!
Ihave to disagree. I''ve set up 2 of systems based on these instructions and even used $4 dollar tree pump sprayers and its a great system. I've never had an issue with pressure and the mist is so fine that a small sprayer works great.
This is probably 10x cheaper, though.
Yeah, I think I was wrong. I've seen other people do this, and with the right nozzle, the results look decent.
