A particularly favored spot to visit at the zoo or amusement park on hot summer days is not necessarily one of the major attractions. It's the misting stations that lure a consistent crowd eager to feel cool and refreshed before moving onto the next wild animal or wild ride. Having your own personal misting station is much more pleasurable, much easier, and much more affordable than spending hot summer days with the family at a pricey zoo or park. The way to accomplish this is with a misting fan.
Misting fans bring together the invigorating mist of water with the cool breeze generated by a fan. This combination cools more successfully than just mist or just a fan alone. As a matter of fact, a misting fan can reduce the surrounding air temperature by as much as 30 degrees, allowing you to enjoy relaxing on your back deck or patio even on the most uncomfortably hot days. Better quality fans are able to cool an area 200 square feet or more in size, which makes the misting fan an ideal choice not just for home use, but for commercial and industrial applications as well. Outdoor cafes, construction sites, and sporting events are just a few examples where these refreshing fans would be appreciated and welcome.
When searching for a misting fan for your home or workplace, there are a couple of features you will want to insist upon having. Most are mounted on top of a water reservoir, many of which can contain anywhere from 5 to 10 gallons of water. Better quality fans, no matter what the capacity, should be able to operate, when starting with a full reservoir, up to 4 or 5 hours long without needing a refill. Additionally, be sure to choose a misting fan that comes with attached, locking wheels or a helpful cart so that it is easy to transport and move into storage.
Optional features are available that can improve the quality of your experience with the fan. For instance, some fans have variable speeds, giving you more control over the air flow. Another particularly helpful feature in a misting fan is a telescoping post that allows the fan to be adjusted easily for height. Also, some fans oscillate to more efficiently distribute the cooling mist in the surrounding area.
No matter what features you choose, having your own misting station at home or work can greatly increase your level of comfort, even on the hottest of days. Because they provide so much relief from the heat, misting fans at home can help you enjoy your patio or deck more fully, and at work, they can increase your productivity and make working outdoors much more pleasant.
