Orbit 2 Pack Performance PVC 1/2 Inch Outdoor Cooling Mist System

So far so good! I’ve never worked with PVC or misters before and found it super easy to assemble. I wanted to rig up a mister system around my back patio with a mister over each of my hanging ferns so they could survive the 110 degree days we’ve been having. I bought an additional package of mister/pvc slip joints from the same manufacturer and several 10’ pieces of PVC from the hardware store. I noticed the pvc pipe from the store had thicker sidewalls than the pipe from Orbit. I didn’t end up using the 2’ lengths of Orbit pvc in the end as I needed 3’ pieces so my review is solely for the directions and fittings.The directions were GREAT! Written clearly and with helpful illustrations and tips, wish all products came with these kind of instructions.And the fittings were great as well, it was super handy to have almost everything I needed arrive in one box ready to go.I did purchase some additional items to finish this project: a white 1/2” RV drinking water hose (to run from my hose spigot up my white patio column to the mister pipes), a hose filter (to keep my misters from getting clogged) and UV-resistant white zipties to hang the pipes instead of the clips. (The clips were clever, but I didn’t want to damage my metal patio roof by drilling into it).If I could make a suggestion to the manufacturer it would be to offer the kit without the 2’ lengths of PVC for a cheaper price—the kit came packaged in a large box that I’m sure made it more expensive to ship. The fittings and cement could have fit in a very small box.

The other reviewers mentioning clogs are in error, the clogs are not due to the product, they are due to the water.Get a filter and there will be no clogs. I have run mine 24/7 for two weeks with no clogs.This uses the standard size mister that everybody uses, If you want a finer mist then you need to go the the much more expensive pressurized system which uses a booster pump. All installations are not covered so you may need more items to complete the project. My parts list was:1. High Flow Faucet Y-Adapter - 2 outlets from one.2. RV water filter.3. Dedicated hose, mine was 4 foot long.4. 10' 1/2" sprinkler pipe.5. A few 90 degree 1/2" fittings.6. 2.5" wood nail7. Set of replacement misters so they can be swapped out instantly.I connected the Y-Adapter to the faucet, then the 4 foot hose to the Adapter, then the filter to the hose then the filter to the hose adapter from the kit. My only problem was the pipe clamps, which had a weak, serrated nail which are useless for nailing to wood as they are too weak to penetrate common 2x4 wood. I substituted a 2.5" 3D wood nail and that worked fine.The only improvement I would ask the manufacturer to make is to place a red line on the pipes and fittings so it is easier to line up all the misters and get rid of the serrated nails. Overall a very quality kit and clean install.

For the price, I just had to try this out. Reading others reviews I knew ahead of time that I would likely need to replace a couple of heads so I went down to the "getting place" ahead of installation, well I needed a longer vertical pipe anyway and bought a few more heads in case. Well, we did have to replace 2 of the heads that came with the unit.For the most part my daughter put this together for me, taped off the heads and painted it brown before hanging it, also, it comes with white hangers, so factor that in for your project.Now as far as misting, yes you don't want to sit directly below it or you will get wet, this is not a high pressure system but even if you have the misters pointed at you, just sit back 4 feet and you should be good. We put a row of plants under the misters and then the seating, the banana plant loves it.

It was just what I wanted.

I bought the two pack expecting a complete system. What is not disclosed on Amazon is that you need an extra nozzle to complete a doubled system after excluding one of the drain valves. Further, the nails in the pipe clips are flimsy and bend easily in wood. Replaced them with screws, but had to drill the clips out to accept drywall-type screws. Otherwise, the completed system works great, and the piping, fittings and nozzles are of decent quality.

The media could not be loaded.  Had to buy different clamps because I had issues with the nails it came with even after drilling pilot holes and couldn’t find screws same size at Home Depot. Misters are not heavy and are perfect, and installation only took me 40 minutes

Our son-in-law recommended this kit after installing one at his house. It creates a nice cooling mist on our back patio & the herb garden loves the extra humidity. My husband was able to do the installation all by himself with my help on one section only in about an hour. Oklahoma gets some very hot, dry summer days but this system really helps.

Need someone handy to install. Work great. A filter is best idea to keep from clogging. And the mice and rats don’t eat them like the rubber tube kind

Works as it should. No issues.
