Summer's here, and I'm thinking again about those misting nozzle
systems for cooling the patio area. I'm looking into some sort of
professional system, not your $29 toy store variety. I've researched
these things enough to believe that any mister nozzle that's fine
enough to work, is going to clog with mineral deposits from tap water
in a very short time. So I'd like to feed the thing RO water. Anyone
installed a system with a dedicated RO supply? I haven't done the
calculations yet as far as GPM. Any recommendations or feedback on any
aspect of this topic is welcome.

I used to go to a restaurant that used those darn things...irritating as
hell! This is Florida, so it gets hot, but they used the things along
with fans, in the evening, in the shade of a covered patio.

I don't know, the cattle like 'em in the barns...

For OP, the FarmTek misters are 5 gph/emitter and no terrible trouble w/
hard well water here w/ excessive lime-up.

May be an earlier partially complete posting; if so, sorry...

Was going to add how successful/satisfactory will be will depend heavily
on where -- here w/ low RH, evaporative cooling is pretty effective.
Southeast US, etc., not so much...
