MC13095 1000 PSI Misting System - Optional Upgrade to 1500 PSI Misting System

That’s a great question! While the 1000 PSI system is indeed a solid choice for residential use, let me highlight why the 1500 PSI system is a better investment and why it’s a more premium option at a price comparable to what other companies sell their 1000 PSI systems for, like Aeromist."

1. Performance:
   • The 1500 PSI system produces a finer mist, which means better cooling without noticeable wetness. It’s ideal for both residential and commercial settings.
   • This system includes upgraded features like a solenoid valve and bypass valve, ensuring automatic water shut-off and better pressure control. These features aren’t available in the 1000 PSI system.
2. Future-Proofing:
   • With the 1500 PSI pump, you’re ready for future expansion. If your cooling needs increase, it can handle larger setups while maintaining performance. Think about hosting bigger gatherings, covering larger patios, or scaling for light commercial use.
   • The smartphone controller compatibility allows easy operation, adding convenience and modern functionality.
3. Comparable Price:
   • Many competitors sell their 1000 PSI systems at prices similar to our 1500 PSI system. For instance, our competitor's 1000 PSI nylon system costs around the same as our more advanced 1500 PSI system, but it lacks premium features like the solenoid, bypass valve, or thermal safety switch.
4. Warranty:
   • Both systems come with a 1-year warranty, but with the 1500 PSI system’s advanced features like the thermal safety switch, there’s a reduced risk of overheating or damage, making it more reliable over time.
5. Noise and Maintenance:
   • The 1500 PSI system operates quieter, which is a significant advantage for noise-sensitive areas like outdoor dining spaces or patios.
   • With the added bypass valve and solenoid, it ensures easier maintenance and fewer breakdowns.

Absolutely, and here’s why:

• Even for residential use, the 1500 PSI system provides a superior cooling experience. On hot summer days, you’ll feel a noticeable difference in comfort thanks to the finer mist.
• If you decide to expand in the future, like adding more nozzles or upgrading your backyard, the 1500 PSI system will already be ready.
• Plus, with added features like the thermal safety switch, you’re protecting your investment from common risks like overheating or running dry, which can void warranties or cause expensive repairs.

Features: Their 1000 PSI system doesn’t include a solenoid valve, bypass valve, or thermal safety switch. These are crucial for ease of use, safety, and longevity.

Price-Performance: You’re essentially paying a similar price for their 1000 PSI system as our 1500 PSI system, but with us, you’re getting more advanced features and better performance.

Support and Warranty: We manufacture and test our products rigorously in-house, and our support team is always available for questions or troubleshooting. With others, you might not get the same tailored service or detailed guides we provide.

  That’s an option, but upgrading later would mean additional costs for a new pump and possibly more components. Buying the 1500 PSI system now saves you the hassle and expense of upgrading later, and you’ll enjoy the benefits right away. Plus, our pricing ensures you’re getting a great deal for a premium product.

Filter Changes:

• Replace the filter every 3 to 6 months, or sooner if water quality is poor.
• For areas with hard water, use a scale-prevention filter (e.g., SKU: MC65120), which lasts up to 2 years.

Nozzle Cleaning:

• Clean nozzles regularly, especially if clogging occurs due to water quality.
• Use an industrial-grade nozzle cleaner (SKU: MC46220) or compressed air to remove debris.
• If cleaning doesn’t work, replace the nozzles.

Winterization:

• Before freezing temperatures:
  • Drain all water from the pump, tubing, and filter.
  • Use compressed air to clear remaining water from lines.
  • Store the pump indoors if possible.
• Failure to winterize may lead to freezing damage, which is not covered under warranty.

De-Winterization:

• Flush the system before reuse, replacing filters and cleaning nozzles.
• Ensure there are no leaks and all components are reassembled correctly.

The 1500 PSI system uses push-lock fittings, which are easy to install and remove.

• Installation:
  1. Cut the tube straight and ensure there are no burrs or distortions.
  2. Push the tubing through the collet and O-ring until it reaches the tube stop.
  3. Test by pulling gently on the tubing to ensure it is securely inserted.
• Leak Prevention:
  • Prevent bends near fittings by using clamps placed 2” away from fittings.
  • If leaks occur, cut the tubing again to create a fresh end and reinsert it into the fitting.
• Removal:
  • Relieve pressure and use a push-lock release tool to disconnect tubing without damage.

The 1000 PSI system uses compression fittings, which are slightly more complex to install.

• Installation:
  1. Cut the tube square using the appropriate cutter (PVC for flexible tubing, metal for stainless steel).
  2. Remove burrs from the tube with a file or deburring tool.
  3. Loosen the fitting nut (do not remove it).
  4. Push the tube firmly into the fitting and tighten the nut by hand.
  5. Use an open-ended spanner to tighten the nut an additional two to two-and-a-half turns.
• Leak Prevention:
  • Ensure the tube is pushed approximately 3/4” into the fitting.
  • Compression fittings are one-time-use, so if leaks persist after tightening, the fitting must be replaced.
  • Teflon tape is not required but can help prevent minor leaks.

• 1500 PSI System (Push-Lock Fittings):
  • Easier to install: Requires no tools and allows for quick insertion and removal of tubing.
  • Maintenance: Simple and reusable, making it more convenient for adjustments or expansions.
  • Leak Prevention: Designed to reduce the likelihood of leaks if installed properly.
• 1000 PSI System (Compression Fittings):
  • Slightly more complex: Requires tools (spanners, cutters) and careful preparation of tubing.
  • Maintenance: Fittings are one-time-use, meaning they must be replaced if leaks occur.
  • Leak Prevention: Requires precise alignment and tightening, which can be time-consuming.

Conclusion: The 1500 PSI system is easier to install and maintain due to its push-lock fittings, which are more user-friendly and designed for quick adjustments without specialized tools. This makes it ideal for users who want a hassle-free experience, particularly for larger or frequently updated systems.

It works with most 1/4" OD flexible tubing for the 1500 psi and the 3/8" OD Flexible Tubing for the 1000 PSI

The cartridge inside the housing should be changed every 6 months

Filter housings are rated for up to 125psi. 

 5 microns. You don't need to worry much about the GPM as this is used before the pump. You just want to make sure that the filter is changed every six months so that the unit doesn't struggle to get water through to the pump.
