For every problem there is a solution. 🙂 And it usually causes another problem. 🙄

Those clips for holding xmas lights to the eavestrough usually make sure that the lights are pointed down. 4 lb of hay wire should keep the misters in the clips. 😈

Allen,

aint that the truth!

Sounds like a good plan...won't have to go far to get haywire. 😆
So misters really do "blow out" regularly?

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

I don't know. If your water is hard, you can expect them to clog up and need to be soaked in CLR.

I would think that if you keep the water pressure down to where it the water is just barely pushed out the mister and you use a fine screen to keep solids out of the inlet hose & misters they should last quite a while.

We have soft--but often silty--water.
Another poster said to turn the hose just barely on...
I am going to do this, somehow.

Our summers are so hot and dry, often windy, that patio plants would really benefit.
I am going to do this, and think it'll be fun to install a homemade system, just buying emitters.

Thanks folks
Barb
