About
The PB550 Ocean Breeze™ Small Evaporative Mist Animal Cooling Kit operates at the pressure normally found in homes, without the need for expensive pumps, creating micro-sized water droplets to maximize the cooling effect. By increasing the moisture content of the surrounding air, the kit can dramatically reduce the air temperature.
Start the kit from a faucet or garden hose
To create your own microclimate, follow these step-by-step instructions, then sit back and enjoy the cooling comfort of an Ocean Breeze.
- Place the screen inside the 3/4″ swivel faucet connector and attach it to the water source. If water quality is a concern, we highly recommend using a fine mesh 3/4″ filter (model D57A), not included with this kit.
- Insert the end of the 1/4″ misting line pipe into the faucet connector for about 1/2″ to 5/8″ by pushing and wiggling the pipe inward and applying some force.
- Lay out the misting-line pipe at a height of 8′ to 12′ above the area and use the “C” clamps included in the kit every 2′ to 4′, securing the misting-line pipe to the structure.
- At the location where the first fogger is to be placed, cut the misting-line pipe and add a tee.
- To the tee, add a small piece (2″ to 3″) of 1/4” misting line. Continue using the same method, leaving the end of the misting line open.
- Turn the water on and flush the line. Then, turn the water off and insert the foggers into the pieces of 1/4” misting line.
- Use the plug to close the end of the misting-line pipe.
- Turn the water on again and test the system, making sure that each fogger is operating correctly.
- To automate this kit, install a misting timer that can operate for a limited time through the day and includes a short cycle.
- The line connector will allow you to expand the system.
