Any recommendations or feedback on any aspect of this topic is
welcome.

My wife wanted one of these systems. Nothing else would do. I commented
that they caused white from evaporated water, and her comment was that
she
hadn't seen white in any of the restaurant areas that we had been to
where
they were used.

So, we got some. Fast forward a hundred bucks and a year later. White
calcified markings all over the underside of our new steel awning that
looks
like ****. Clogged misters even though we used the filter. Cracked
tubing
even though we drained it for the winter.

That one is going elsewhere, out to my shop area, and I would never have
another, or suggest that anyone buy or use them unless it is in a grassy
area, or some other type of area where one would not care if it all got
white from evaporated water.

And yeah, I hear all the arguments for reverse osmosis systems to provide
pure water and all that, but now you're getting up into some real money
for
a huhdred or two hundred feet of misters, all the stuff that goes with
them,
plus the cost of a water purification system.

Just me, but I would never have another.

I'll never say I told you so, but I may say that I said that would
happen.

Thanks for the first-hand report. The concerns you raise are why I'm
looking at the $1-2k systems rather than the dime store toys.

Does it have better water that behaves differently than "normal" cheaper
water?
