This is a detailed overview of the primary parts of a high-pressure (800-1,000PSI) misting system. A thorough understanding of each part, its function, various types, materials and their cost analysis will empower you to make the right choices for a more enjoyable misting experience.
REVERSE OSMOSIS UNIT
Drinking quality water with total dissolved solids (TDS) content below 300 parts per million (ppm) is pre-requisite for peaceful misting experience. However ideal quality water is not always available, and reverse osmosis (RO) unit becomes a necessity to prevent mineral buildup within your misting system.

200 GPD Reverse Osmosis Unit: 75$
400 GPD Reverse Osmosis Unit: 120$
800 GPD Reverse Osmosis Unit: 180$
At Aves Fog we design customised RO units according to your misting requirements.
WATER FILTERS
Water filtration is the first and most critical step in ensuring that water fed to the pump is free of insoluble impurities. Since unfiltered water can cause blockages and wear.
• Filter Types
The two primary types of filters used globally are stainless steel mesh filters and polypropylene (PP) filters. While both are effective, PP filters are capable of capturing finer insoluble particles. Since quality is utmost priority, we only use PP filters.
• Filter Casing
Filter casings are available in three sizes i.e. 5, 10, and 20 inches. Casings with brass threads are more durable and expensive than those with plastic threads. Higher-quality casings also feature an air release valve.
• Price
5” Polypropylene filter: 0.4-0.5$
10” Polypropylene filter: 0.8-1$
20” Polypropylene filter: 1.5-2$
5” Casing, plastic thread air valve:
10” Casing, plastic thread air valve: 10-15$
20” Casing, plastic thread air valve: 20-30$
At Aves Fog we use 10” PPF & casings for our 0.5-8 LPM misting systems. While 20” PPF & casings for 12-24LPM misting systems. We import filter casings from well reknown global manufacturers to maintain our quality standard.
MISTING PUMP
Misting pump is the driving force responsible for pumping water within the misting system. As the most critical component “heart of a misting system” its quality really matters.
• RPM and Durability
Pumps designed to operate at 1400 revolution per minute (RPM) exhibit three times longer service life compared to those designed to operate at 2800 RPM.
• Motor Matching
The electric motor is matched according to the pump’s capacity. For example, a 0.75 kW motor is suitable for a 4 LPM pump, while a 2.2 kW motor is required for a 12 LPM pump.
• Price
2LPM Italian pump & motor set: 650$
2LPM Chinese pump & motor set: 450$
4LPM Italian pump & motor set: 800$
4LPM Chinese pump & motor set: 600$
At Aves Fog, we integrate world-class Italian triplex ceramic plunger pumps in our high-pressure misting systems. These oil-lubricated, advanced pumps are capable of producing 1450 PSI (100 bar) pressure, which is essential for atomisation of water.
MISTING ACCESSORIES
Tees, elbows, nozzle seats, end plugs, and valves etc form the network that delivers pressurised water to the misting nozzles.
• Materials
High-pressure misting accessories are typically made from stainless steel-304 or brass materials.
• Connection Types
There are two main types of connections, screw type and push lock type. Screw type accessories are less expensive but their installation is labour intensive & time consuming. While premium push lock fittings support quick and easy installation.
• Size
Misting accessories are available in two sizes i.e. 9mm and 6mm inner diameter.

At Aves Fog, we use highest quality leakproof push lock misting accessories that can handle pressure up to 1450PSI (100 bar).
MISTING TUBES
Misting tubes are commonly known as misting pipes, their role is to carry the pressurised water from the pump & misting accessories up to the nozzles. The choice of tubing material depends upon specific requirements of the installation.
• Materials
Available options for tube materials include stainless steel 304, nylon (Pa-6 and Pa-12), and polyethylene (PE)
• Pressure Ratings
Stainless steel tubing can withstand pressures up to 2500 psi, while nylon and PE tubes are rated for up to 1,450 psi and 1,000 psi, respectively.
• Durability
Stainless steel is the most durable option, though the quality of the steel can affect its resistance to rust. Pa-12 nylon tubes are twice as durable as Pa-6 nylon tubes, which are in turn more durable than PE tubes.
• Size
High-pressure misting tubes are usually available in two sizes i.e. 9mm and 6mm outer diameter.
• Price
9mm PE tube: 0.25$/ft
9mm Nylon Pa 6 tube: 0.45$/ft
9mm Nylon Pa 12 tube: 0.65$/ft
9mm SS 304 tube: 0.8$/ft
6mm PE tube: 0.15$/ft
6mm Nylon Pa 6 tube: 0.25$/ft
6mm Nylon Pa 12 tube: 0.35$/ft
6mm SS 304 tube: 0.45$/ft
At Aves Fog, we rely on stainless steel 304 and PA-12 nylon tubing for high-pressure misting systems, deliberately avoiding PA-6 nylon and PE tubing due to quality considerations.
MISTING NOZZLES
Misting nozzles are the final component in the misting system, responsible for atomizing the pressurized water into a fine fog. The selection of nozzles affects the droplet size, spray angle, and overall cooling efficiency.
• Nozzle Filter
Nozzles can be equipped with PP or stainless steel filters to minimize clogging. However nozzle without filters are also available to curtail cost.
• Anti-drip valve
During the processes of pressurisation & depressurisation misting nozzle can drip water to cause dampness. This is where anti-drip valve plays its role by not allowing water to pass through, until a required pressure is maintained.
• Orifice Material & Size
Stainless steel, ceramic, and ruby are the orifice materials used for different environmental needs. Different orifice sizes i.e. 0.1mm, 0.15 mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm and 0.6mm are usually available, mist output is directly proportional to the orifice size.
• Spray Angle
Common spray angles for misting nozzles are 60, 80, and 100 degrees.
• Nozzle Head & Body Material
Nozzle head & body are usually made of same material, either brass or stainless steel 304. However, few clients prefer SS-304 head paired with brass body for more durable yet economical nozzle.
• Price
Stainless steel nozzle with filter: 4.5$
Nickle plated brass nozzle with filter: 2.5$
Stainless steel head brass body with filter: 3.8$
Stainless steel nozzle without filter: 3.5$
Nickle plated brass nozzle without filter: 1.8$

Temp/Humidity Controller
It is essential for applications requiring precise temperature and humidity control. Aves RH/temp controller is 99.99% accurate, courtesy of its calibration feature. You can separately set temperature & humidity On/Off readings to regulate a micro climate as per your needs. It is capable of operating humidifier/ dehumidifier and fan/heater with slight change in settings.
• Price
A high-quality controller with accurate sensors and quick response time costs approximately 200–250$
Electric Control Panel
Modern misting systems are controlled by sophisticated electric control panels, with pump and motor set enclosed inside. Often have the facility for remote working via mobile app, bluetooth, wifi or through remote. On & off timer allows the adjustment of misting intervals, single timer manages de-pressurisation. And there is option to select between automatic and manual operations. Safety features to protect against electrical fluctuations and dry-run damage are also included.
