Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I wanted an inexpensive misting set to get my mom on mothers day and this was perfect. I searched around and other sets were either poorly rated or far too expensive for my tastes.
I followed the directions for these misters (which were sparse, but enough). It contains 50 feet of hose but recommends 30-40 feet of usable coverage (the remaining ten for scaling up/around a wall). I ended up using about 32 feet which was all I needed, with the ten misters spaced about 2.5 feet apart (with small gaps near the corners and support posts of the patio). The set even comes with a line connector which you could use if you happened to cut the line too short. We like them so much, we are already thinking about extending the line, but we would want to buy some more nozzle heads ( http://www.digcorp.com/DIY/226-Cooling_Mist_Kits_&_Accessories/diy_products ).
I bought some other supplies at Home Depot and got to see the sets they sell in action (Orbit). They are more expensive and the lines looked a little more difficult to assemble. Their spray pattern also seemed to have heavier drops to me, because the streams didn't spread and dissipate quite like these. The Orbit misting nozzles had metal tips on those while these are plastic. That worried me a little until I saw how easy the Ocean Breeze heads are to remove. I didn't have any problems with clogging when they were installed, but they should be very easy to clean. Furniture within about 1-1.5 feet of the misters can get wet, but this was not a problem for us.
