Outdoor misting fans are a revolutionary, energy and cost efficient way to keep you cool in summer. However, some of these problems may occur.

1. What are the Common Problems of Misting Fans
Outdoor misting fans are a revolutionary, energy and cost efficient way to keep you
cool in summer. Not only are misting fans ideal for commercial and residential
outdoor entertaining areas, they are great for warehouses and any commercial
indoor/outdoor work environments.
Outdoor misting fans can reduce the effect of insects, dust, and unpleasant odours
as well as keeping you cool. Like air conditioning, you need to choose an option
that’s most suitable to your requirements. Unlike air conditioning, after the initial
set up costs, which compare more than favourably to any other type of cooling
system anyway, you will have a cooling system that doesn’t cost much to run.
Unfortunately, like everything in life, you get what you pay for. If you purchased
Climate Australia misting fans for your misting system then some of these issues are
not likely to apply to you. But if you didn’t then you may have an inferior product
and some of these problems may be occurring:

2. Uneven or inadequate mist
Assuming you have sufficient water in your reservoir and assuming you are keeping
it topped up for water misting system, if your mist is irregular or lacking power then
you may have a clogged nozzle. Dust, mineral or calcification build up in the nozzle
may be the culprit in either your free standing or your wall mounted misting fan. You
should clean the nozzle regularly and soak it in vinegar. The nozzle should be
distributing a mist and it should be even and reducing the temperature by as much
as four degrees. If that’s not happening and you’ve tried our suggestions, then you
might want to consider a replacement.
Dirty mist
A dirty nozzle, a buildup of dirt or dust in fan blades or the grill of your fan can mean
that you are circulating dirty air. Cover up the whole unit with a cover and keep it
dry. You are less likely to attract dirt and dust if you’re misting system is dry and
cleaned regularly.
Leaks in your reservoir
Oh dear, that’s a common symptom of buying on the cheap even if you didn’t think
you were. That’s a costly exercise to replace it but replace it you must, otherwise
the whole cost efficiency argument is gone. Buy a quality misting fan and you won’t
have issues with the quality of the reservoir. If you’re lucky you might be under
warranty so that’s worth checking out.
Faulty control
Generally these types of repairs will require a repairman to attend. It’s not the sort
of thing you can repair yourself and it might be something that you repair only once.
After that, it’s probably best that you look for a quality replacement from Climate
Australia because you could be throwing good money after bad.
