All content is Copyright © Holman Industries 2023. 3 of 16 Overview Overview (continued) Outdoor Cooling Misting System The Way it Works Benefits of a Misting Tap Timer Á PLEASE READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE USE ® Your misting system cools air by evaporating fine water particles emitted by MISTING NOZZLES L To achieve the best misting results install a MISTING TIMER L Your 7m Misting system features 7mm diameter high PRESSURE TUBING with PRESS‑RELEASE FITTINGS that are made to match this tubing L These FITTINGS are designed to grip the HOSE and NOZZLES internally and release when the FITTING END PIECE is pressed, allowing systems to be adjusted and changed. No clamps are required L Your 7m Misting system can be expanded with more Holman misting parts by purchasing the Holman Misting Expansion Kit,available at your Holman stockist ® Misting nozzles emit small amounts of water. It also breaks the water into very small droplets or a mist ® In hot conditions, small water droplets evaporate almost instantaneously. In cooler or humid conditions the evaporation rate is slower Á Do not run your misting system continuously. It dampens the surrounding area L Regulate the amount of water entering a space by adjusting the ON times and OFF times of the timer L MISTING TIMERS allow you to make these settings in seconds, where other timers may not have this feature L We have several Tap Timers available with misting settings: Bluetooth Tap Timer ® Solve this issue by using a Holman Misting Timer Our single outlet BX1 Bluetooth® Tap Timer includes a Misting Timer function and is the perfect companion to your Charcoal Misting Kit. Our WX1 Wi-Fi Tap Timers include a Misting Timer function and are the perfect companion to your Charcoal Misting Kit. Also available: 4 of 16 Beat the heat and complete your outdoor misting setup! Perfect for the short-burst intervals needed to create a cool environment outdoors.

Each jet uses 2L/hr ® Include this for 25mm taps ® Factors to consider are: • • • Spacing of MISTING JETS Location of MISTING JETS over tables or chairs How many MISTING JETS in a particular area ® There are no fixed rules to how you position the MISTING JETS 6 ® Your 7m Misting system works best with a high pressure water supply ® The higher the pressure the more effective the droplet evaporates and cools an area Positioning Misting Jets 4 Á Use only fresh tap water. Bore or dam water may contain sediment and block jets (continued) ® More MISTING JETS means more water used and the cooler the space will become Á Too much water can be a problem—the air can become saturated and wet people and objects in the space ® We recommend the following: 7 1 1 ® Normal household water supply is usually at an adequate pressure Spacing 600mm to 1000mm for effective coverage of chosen area ® Connect MISTING TUBE [1], HOSE ADAPTOR [7] and FILTER [6] directly to GARDEN TAP, or use a GARDEN HOSE to bring water from a tap in the area to the start of the misting PIPEWORK ® If HOSE is running in the sun, ensure it is a good quality HOSE to withstand the pressure when water and HOSE are heated—refer to page 11 for Garden Hose connection ® Use UNIVERSAL TAP ADAPTOR [4] if connecting to 25mm GARDEN TAP ® HINT: easily maintain the use of your garden tap for other uses, install a Holman 2 way or 4 way Tap outlet and fit the misting system to one outlet 5 L Space MISTING JETS [5] between 600mm and 1000mm of TUBE [1] L Locate MISTING JETS away from tables and sitting areas L Create a curtain of mist on at least two sides of the area being cooled L Install a Holman Misting Timer to regulate the amount of water entering a space by adjusting the ON and OFF times. You would have more ON time on a hot dry day than a cool moist day 9 of 16 Installation Installation (continued) (continued) Installing the Fittings Installing the Misting System ® Your 7m MISTING SYSTEM features SwapLock® FITTINGS [2]. These FITTINGS feature an internal ring of metal “teeth” to grip MISTING TUBE and NOZZLES and prevent them coming loose or leaking water Á Each section of TUBE should be connected before attempting to pin your 7m MISTING SYSTEM to walls or beams 1. Start at the garden tap or water source point ® The metal “teeth” release the TUBE [1] and NOZZLES [5] when the end of the FITTING is pressed, allowing modification of the system ® If using a GARDEN HOSE [10], install a 12mm SPRINKLER ADAPTOR [11] into the MISTING FILTER [6] as shown ® Cut the TUBE “square” and “burr free” to ensure a good joint ® Run the MISTING TUBE [1] to the position you want your first MISTING JET. Use SwapLock® TEES or SwapLock® ELBOWS to go around corners or split the pipe runs 1. To install a SwapLock FITTING, bring end of TUBE and FITTING together, level and straight, pressing the end of the FITTING ® 2. Push TUBE in as far as it can go 2 Press-Release End 10 11 6 1 1 5 3. Do the same for the NOZZLE, ensuring the end of the FITTING is pressed Á Attempting to insert or remove the NOZZLE or TUBE without pressing the release-end of the FITTING can damage the internal metal teeth Tube pushed into each fitting 12mm Sprinkler Adaptor 8010HB The Quick Release snap-on fitting makes installing and swapping between hose end products to your garden hose, quick & easy! 11 of 16 (Fig. 7) Installation Installation (continued) (continued) Installing the Misting System (continued) Flushing the System 2. Work out the spacing of the MISTING JETS [5] and cut the MISTING TUBE [1] to length and install the relevant TEES [2] ® Perhaps the most important part of the installation process is to properly flush the system 3. Finish each line with an ELBOW and MISTING JET 1. Remove ALL MISTING JETS and connect the water and run for 4 or 5 min. 4. Use the HOSE CLAMPS [9] to attach the MISTING TUBE to the wall or beams ® This will ensure all dirt and pipe swarf is flushed from the system. If this is not done, MISTING JETS will clog and not work correctly 5. The HOSE CLAMPS use a very strong masonry nail that should not bend when you hammer it into timber or masonry 1 Position Hose Clamps at least 70-80mm away from Nozzle 2 ® The hole size in the MISTING JETS is extremely small. It is like this to ensure that the water particle is very small—like a mist 2. After misting system has been flushed, attach MISTING JETS to FITTINGS Water Filter 12 9 5 ® HINT 1: for a discrete misting system, discard HOSE CLAMPS and install ø3.2×30mm masonry nails into holes directly on MISTING FITTINGS [12] ® HINT 2: run PIPEWORK along mortar joints in brickwork. Hammer the HOSE CLAMPS into the brickwork for a reliable result ® HINT 3: use a HOSE CLAMP on each side of a MISTING TEE to ensure the TEE is firmly positioned and misting in the correct direction ® HINT 4: if hammering into metal, the correct nails will need to be purchased ® HINT 5: avoid installing the MISTING TUBE in direct sunlight as this may cause the TUBE to go brittle over time Á It is highly recommended that the filter be installed immediately after the connection to the water source ® The principle of evaporative cooling relies on very small volumes of water evaporating and absorbing the ambient heat, it is critical the water entering your 7m Misting System is clean and free of all particles that will not pass through the very small hole in the misting jet ® From time to time it may be necessary to clean the filter. This is best done by using cleaning solution like vinegar, available at your hardware store ® This will not only assist cleaning solid particles away, but it will dissolve calcium and iron deposits that build up as water evaporates in the filter and MISTING JETS 13 of 16 Installation (continued) Maintenance Auto Drain Valve Drain Water from your System Clean Filter Á Do not remove the end of AUTO DRAIN VALVE unless blocked. There is a very small ball inside and if opened the ball will fall out ® When your 7m Misting system is not in use, drain all water from it ® The AUTO DRAIN VALVE is an important component in your 7m misting system ® It stops MISTING JETS from “dripping” and “dribbling” ® If using an AUTOMATIC DRAINING VALVE, this job will happen automatically ® Periodically clean the MISTING FILTER by soaking in a solution of vinegar to remove calcium and iron build up ® The VALVE also stops the build up of precipitated salts (like calcium and iron) in the MISTING PIPEWORK Clean Nozzles ® Install your AUTO DRAIN VALVE at a low point in the system ® The AUTO DRAIN VALVE will automatically release the pressure in the line and then “dump” water in the MISTING TUBE “above” the level of the AUTO DRAIN VALVE when water is turned off ® Periodically clean all NOZZLES by soaking them in a solution of vinegar, or similar calcium and iron remover Flush System ® Position AUTO DRAIN VALVE where water can run freely— for example, let it “dump” water into a drain or garden area Clean Nozzles ® If NOZZLES are “dripping” or not misting properly, remove them and soak in cleaning solution like vinegar or similar calcium and iron remover ® If this fails to clean the MISTING JET, it is highly recommended to purchase the Holman Misting Expansion Kit and replace jets as required ® Periodically remove all NOZZLES and flush your misting system by running water through it for 4 or 5 min.
