Can Patio Misting Systems Go Green?

It’s true that our products use water and power. However, especially in our desert community, misting systems are important to keeping businesses profitable throughout the very warm months as well as maintaining farming industries, cooling schools, animal sanctuaries, and more. At Koolfog, we know resources are precious and we are committed to conservation and continually work to be on the forefront of innovation to reduce energy consumption, decrease water usage, and help patio misting systems go green.

How Much Water Does a Misting System Use?

Misting systems can be incredibly effective, cooling ambient air up to 30 degrees. And yet, they use less water than you probably think, especially compared to other uses (or abuses) of water.

• On average, a toilet uses 6,384 gallons of water per year
• An average of 35,000 gallons of water is used per year per home to water grass and landscaping
• One cow consumes 915,597 gallons of water in a lifetime
  • That’s 616 gallons to make one quarter pound hamburger
• To mass produce a loaf of bread it takes 288 gallons of water
  • That’s 6.8 gallons per slice
• One leaky drip per second from a faucet, shower or hose wastes 2,700 gallons per year
• A Koolfog misting systems uses, on average, only 540 gallons of water per year

In addition to pioneering cutting-edge solutions for cooling issues, Koolfog is dedicated to reducing our own carbon footprint. In 2011 Koolfog received a CoolCalifornia award as part of CoolCalifornia.org, a partnership between the California Environmental Protection Agency’s Air Resources Board, Universities and others.

At Koolfog, we believe that along with creating a more enjoyable outdoor environment in the desert heat, misting systems provide valuable solutions for particular businesses, industries and services. We will continue our commitment to find the best ways to help these businesses, while continuing to help patio misting systems go green.
