 A great value and installation is very easy Sep 13, 2009
By Don Mckay
""BellaOnline Softbal Editor""
The Orbit 20066 Portable 1/4-Inch Outdoor Mist Cooling System is an incredibly good bargain. It has about 20 feet total of flexible plastic hose. One end has a hose adapter that is compatible with any garden hose, and it comes with metal mister nozzles spaced every two feet in the last ten feet of the hose length. Additionally, it comes with five alligator clips for mounting the Portable Outdoor Mist Cooling System on a chain link fence or thin pipe or rod. Each clip comes with a plastic fastener that can loop around a chain-link fence and snap into place.
Installation is amazingly easy. String the length of mister hose where it will be mounted, snap the clips into place, put the mister hose into the alligator clips, then screw the mister nozzles in place. I bought four Orbit Mist Cooling Systems to cool four of our dugouts on our Fast Pitch Softball fields, and I had all four in place and tested in about an hour. Most of that hour was spent stringing out and connecting garden hose. All four worked like a charm.
What impressed me even more than the low cost or the easy installation was the robustness of the design. I believe this mister system will work with almost any water pressure. Our softball facility has one regular garden water spigot per softball field. To supply the misters in each dugout, I had to use one 50 foot garden hose connected to a Y-gate, followed by another 150 foot of garden hose. One mister hose was connected to the Y-gate, and one was connected at the end of the 150 foot length of hose. Both misters worked fine, even the distant mister, in spite of having half of the water going to the first mister and losing water pressure over 200 feet of hose.
If looking for an outdoor cooling system, it is hard to imagine a better value than this product.

 Easily clogged nozzles Jul 08, 2010
By ']['ennessee ']['ony
Nice item and I like it. The nozzles do a good job of creating a fine mist with the occasional stream instead of mist. The mist is not as fine as I had hoped for, what ever it falls on WILL eventually be wet. Depending on the temperature of your water source, it may or not feel all much cooler while in use. Tip: Use a light colored hose, a dark hose will certainly spew forth hot water.
My reason for dropping one star on the rating is that the nozzles are very very very fine. They WILL clog, guaranteed. And sadly, there is not so much as a mesh filter/washer included.
My solution cost another $5, I bought a mesh cone filter at the Depot/Lowes with the gasket molded into it, and then loosely shoved a cotton ball into the hose opening before attaching to the mister. The mesh cone filter will catch the cotton ball, and together they will provide decent filtration.
I had trouble finding the mesh cone filter, which I thought odd, as every sprinkler on the shelf came with one. I finally had to buy a two pack designed for pressure washers, along with various sizes of useless (to me) O-rings. Maybe you'll have better luck finding one for cheaper. You DEFINITELY need one. After just a few hours of use, the cotton ball was really disgusting. If you are using a brand new hose, you may have less gunk, but you still NEED the mesh filter/washer, the replacement nozzles are almost as expensive as the whole kit.

Good Value Aug 11, 2008
By J. LOVEGREEN
Being called basic, I was suprised to find how well it works. My climate in Northeast Missouri is extremely humid, and figured mist cooling would not work as well as in AZ or other arid area. I was wrong. It turns a warm breeze into a cool one. I hang it on a portable canopy with a cooler full of cold ones and enjoy the afternoon outside at 90 degrees instead of in the AC

 Trying to set it up May 14, 2011
By J. Finn
"Bookworm"
I'm trying to set this up on my umbrella like the picture on the box (I had to buy 2 products for my 8.5' square umbrella, and I'm still not sure that's enough).
Anyway, I'm having a lot of trouble getting the nozzles to all face in the same direction: down. Right now, they're all facing in different directions.
I worked on it for about 1/2 hour or so before giving up.
Any suggestions?
If I can get it set up properly, this looks like it's going to work great! I just wish there were more alligator clips or at LEAST that they sold replacement clips. There really aren't enough.

Absolutely Perfect for my purpose! Jul 14, 2009
By Georgianna Lafebre
"Avid Reader"
We bought this instead of a sprinkler for our young kids (3 & 6). Neither likes the cold spray from a sprinkler. I wanted something to cool them off on hot days and to entertain them without the danger of a pool. I strung this up and they played under it for hours. It uses a lot less water than a typical sprinkler and the ground under it was just damp when they were done playing.
The connection from the hose is solid and very little water drips out.
The item met our needs perfectly and was exactly as described!
