PVC Greenhouse mister system
2 Video Views·Mar 11, 2024
This is just a quick look at a simple mist-making device that we installed in our greenhouse. It is not intended for watering purposes, it is for heat removal. Mist also feels quite refreshing while you are working in the greenhouse on a sunny day.
it's been quite a long time since I've
done an update video on the greenhouse
I've added quite a bit of things to it
as you can see I decided to pull the
front plastic tight now and add this
arched shaped trim work around we had a
problem with bugs getting caught in the
plastic and it just gives it a nicer
cleaner appearance
I also added this Dutch door with a
screen and it also has plastic inserts
for when the weather gets cold you can
open half it's nice for it in the
evening to keep it shut to keep the
mosquitoes away but really for
pollination reasons you should encourage
insects to go into your greenhouse it
looks kind of bad right now it's at the
end of the season so it's really not as
lush and green is it was earlier in the
season but the purpose of this video is
to show the mr. system that we put in
probably 98% of the water that we use
comes from the rain collection system
which is a gutter that runs around the
outside of the greenhouse and it puts it
into this bucket but sometimes during
the drought we still don't get enough
water so we decided to run a water line
and while we were doing it we figured
why not put a mr. in and how it works is
pretty simple the upper knob here runs
you can follow the pipe up behind the
clematis
into these little red mister nozzles
that go along the spine I'll show you to
you in operation I would say I'm
moderately pleased with it we noticed
about a 10 degree temperature drop in
about 10 minutes when you use it so I'm
going to turn it on and show you listen
carefully
it makes a nice fine mist and it doesn't
really get you wet if you stand
underneath it I think there are seven
nozzles in here they recommend that you
put them in over 24 inches but it
definitely works to lower your
temperature especially in when used in
conjunction with the shade cloth and the
fans you can drop the temperature a
pretty good bit in a short period of
time well thanks for watching
