Misting Systems Misters for the Sacramento Valley
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. The steamy temperatures that come with this season are inevitable and people are always looking for ways to stay cool. Here are 5 ways to stay cool this summer:
You may be surprised to know that mist is not only for outdoor cooling. Yes, atomized water particles effectively reduce temperatures up to 35 degrees Fahrenheit, but mist particles can also clean particulate matter out of the air.
The California drought is on the forefront of California residents and policymakers. But how much water is actually wasted in Hotels and Restaurants with the use of a misters?
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. People would stop by during lunch, enjoy maybe half a beer, and then leave. “It was way too hot for people to enjoy themselves. They just weren’t hanging around, even at night.”
Half Moon Bay’s 44th Annual Art and Pumpkin Festival ended with a state record, a North American record and interesting commentary into the benefit of supplementing traditional irrigation techniques with the tiny water droplets a misting system produces.
John Hawkley’s record setting colossal ghost, weighing in at 2058 pounds.
John Hawkley of Napa harnessed his aptly named “colossal ghost” to the scales, weighing in at 2,058 pounds, respectively. This breaks previous state and North American records and is only 265 pounds shy of breaking the world record. When asked how he did it, his response was simple, “I don’t know. 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.”
Situated in the hills of the Sierras, you’ll find a winery. At first glance, it may seem like any other, with a tasting room, a wine club and high quality wine selections grown in our rich California soil. But if you dig a little deeper, you may be surprised to find a winery cultivated from a forgotten family tradition coupled with sustainable business practices in perfect harmony with the modern age of environmental awareness. Skinner Winery recently integrated Koolfog’s high pressure misting systems to their patio area to keep patrons and wine enthusiasts cool during the warm Sacramento-area summer months.
The range of outdoor cooling solutions are exhaustive and most of them do not effectively lower ambient air temperatures. Not to mention, misting systems that do effectively lower temperatures are often considered to be a luxury item in most parts of the world, with the general exception of regions like our beloved Sacramento Valley. As Sacramento resident’s know well, as soon as the temperatures start to get above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, any outdoor activity MUST be shrouded in mist.
In areas like Palm Springs and Sacramento, restaurant owners are branching out to include new kinds of marketing techniques to convince patrons to enter their front door. Koolfog’s misting systems have found their way into a number of eclectic and trendy restaurants who’s consistent patronage have skyrocketed since the inclusion of outdoor cooling solutions.
Stablecool, Koolfog’s new line of equestrian cooling products, utilizes the power of evaporative cooling to reduce temperatures in barns, stables and corrals. Stablecool solutions range from systems tailored to individual stalls to systems designed to accommodate large commercial equestrian facilities. Because heat stress is as much a concern for horses as it is for humans. As science advances, we become more aware of subtle indicators well before heat stress or exhaustion hit. As our awareness expands, so do our techniques for creating cool environments for our most precious assets. Until now, horse owners have struggled with ways to keep their horses cool, comfortable and healthy during the hot summer months. Koolfog offers horse trainers, equestrian facility owners and equestrian enthusiasts alike a solution that effectively lowers air temperatures, as opposed to other cooling techniques used in the past.
As Koolfog’s superior designed high pressure, pure water pumps guide water through our stainless steel misting line, water particles become atomized as they spray out of our anti-drip nozzles. As these particles evaporate, this process effectively removes the energy, in the form of heat, from the air. In the past, horse owners have utilized cooling methods that include fans, fodder, baths and shade. However, these methods fall short in effectively lowering air temperatures as well as using up valuable time and resources that could have been assigned elsewhere. As outdoor cooling solutions have become more available, veterinarians all over are recommending misting systems as a more effective way of avoiding heat stress and exhaustion than traditional techniques.
Summer is your busiest time. Gain some peace of mind with Koolfog’s new Stablecool Cooling Solutions for any equestrian facility design. With custom design and American manufacturing to serve as our backbone and distributors in both Northern and Southern California, your most valuable assets will be cool and comfortable under Koolfog’s clouds of mist for any equestrian outdoor cooling solution.
