Misting Systems Misters for the Sacramento Valley
Koolfog has partnered with various municipal and creative entities to integrate mesmerizing fog effects in public spaces. The immersive quality of fog effects in art features is highlighted in the new “Meridian (Gold),” a temporary public artwork by the sculptor Mika Tajima, set in Long Island City, Queens, NY, which uses Koolfog high pressure fog to represent the fluctuations in the price of gold.
For businesses in the Sacramento area, it’s vital to find ways to continue to attract customers during the warm summer months. Adding patio misting systems can make a significant difference for the comfort of guests by lowering the ambient temperature up to 30 degrees. Koolfog has worked closely with many local businesses to create patio misting systems custom-designed to their space for optimum cooling and aesthetics at each establishment.
The thought of misting systems usually conjures images of warm summer days and relaxing by the pool, so why are we talking about them now, in the winter? Luckily, misting systems generally require minimal maintenance, but taking care of them in the cold months will help assure that they will be ready to go when the heat comes back.

When summer rolls around, everyone knows that things are about to get hot. The temperature begins to gradually rise to the upper 80s, 90s and often higher in the Sacramento area.

I know, you’re tired of hearing it. Honestly, we’re tired of saying it. But the truth is still the truth, no matter how often it comes up. The old adage “you get what you pay for” applies to the decision of which misting system to purchase in a tremendous way.
Sean Derfield, the owner of Der Biergarten located in Midtown Sacramento, laughs with ease as we talk about his recent outdoor cooling adventures. He was concerned, he says.

John Hawkley of Napa harnessed his aptly named “colossal ghost” to the scales, weighing in at 2,058 pounds, respectively.

I found that they seemed to be happy with the water that I was giving them, so I just kept it constant. I didn’t over feed it, I was just gonna take what I got…I found that an overhead misting system [was] something they seemed to like, so I just kept it like that the rest of the day, week or the year.”
