There are a number of misting concentrates available and approved for use in our systems. The amount of active ingredient in solution varies based upon the concentrate selected. You can find more information on approved concentrates and their suggested dosing by visiting our Tech Self Help articles at www.mistawaypro.com/category/insecticide/.

MistAway Systems does not provide in person training for the general public of how to install a misting system. We do have a number of other videos here regarding installation of the systems from which you can learn. We also have various articles on working with our systems that you can access through our DIY Academy page at store.mistaway.com/diy-academy/.

We do not have any nozzles that produce an average droplet size of 15 micron.

So your only droplet size distribution is 40 micrometers plus or minus some standard deviation? If the standard deviation isn't too large (let's say +/- 15 microns), I may be able to work with that too and add some of your products into my feasibility study.

By any chance, do you know the standard deviation of the droplet size? If necessary, we can proceed via email.

We do not have an recently measured standard deviation of droplet size as the last study we conducted was a number of years ago. The desired mist characteristics for our application have remained largely unchanged for the last decade. Our recommendation would be to research available nozzles in the market for a specific pressure. Nozzle manufacturers will be more likely to have the information you are seeking and possible solutions for your need.

@@mistawaysystemshtx Okay, thanks.

This is exactly why Im here. I have cleaned all of my heads and still get drips from some. Im thinking its the springs

We are not the authority on systems or nozzles sold by other manufacturers. However, our experience is that nozzle using a similar ball and spring design drip for one of a few reasons: 1. There is sediment passing through the nozzle creating an inconsistent seal in the ball and spring check valve. 2. The solution being misted is adversely affecting the ball of the check valve. Even viton can swell or deform when it is exposed to certain products. 3. The spring itself can wear out over time, not producing enough force to successfully seal the valve. 4. If the system has a check valve between the pump and the nozzles it can trap pressure in the lines after a mist event that will cause some amount of leaking. Our systems are designed to prevent this scenario.

It certainly can be the springs themselves as they are made of very small diameter wire. The action of opening and closing repeatedly will eventually weaken the spring itself. We sell replacement balls and springs for rebuilding our nozzles.

@@mistawaysystemshtx all great answers. thanks!

Holes or leaks in the system can definitely reduce the pressure, but what we want to emphasize in the video is that you can also lose pressure from friction losses in the tubing

For most misting or fogging nozzles there are 2 reasons why they might leak or drip following a mist. The first reason is residual pressure in the lines. If the machine stops abruptly and the equipment has a check valve there is some amount of pressurized fluid still remaining in the tubing. Until enough of the fluid leaks out of the nozzles for the check valve inside the nozzles to seal the nozzles will commonly drip. All of MistAway's systems are designed to relieve this pressure at the end of a mist to address this issue. The second reason may be worn out valves within the nozzles. Most misting nozzles are designed with an integral check valve. This can be as simple as a small spring with a rubber ball on the end. Over time these springs do weaken and naturally let fluid pass by at lower or even no pressure. Depending upon the nozzle used the spring and ball can be replaced to stop the leak.

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on our video. Given the amount of information we are trying to cover we don't always expand upon each tip. In the case of a low voltage situation we often find that the voltage is merely low at the outlet. Often this can be remedied with a new fixture or rewiring to reduce voltage drop. If you suspect that the voltage provided by the power company is less than 120V you can confirm this with a test at your panel. For any electrical work we recommend hiring a licensed electrician.
