One of the first questions we hear is “what does a mist cooling system cost?” The honest answer is that it depends on a handful of factors – and once you know them, you can compare quotations properly and avoid paying for the wrong system.
1. Pressure class
Low-pressure kits are cheapest but wet more and cool less. High-pressure systems need a plunger pump, rated tubing and fittings, but deliver far better results for commercial and industrial spaces.
2. Number of nozzles and line length
Area and layout set how many nozzles you need and how much tubing connects them. Long runs may need larger tube or zoning to keep pressure even.
3. Pump and motor
The pump must deliver the total nozzle flow at working pressure for your duty hours. Direct-drive units are compact; belt-driven pumps suit long industrial duty.
4. Water treatment
Hard borewell water needs calcium-inhibitor filters or softening. Fogging and humidification need treated or RO water. Skipping this saves money upfront and costs far more in blocked nozzles.
5. Controls and automation
A simple on/off switch costs least; timers, humidity and temperature controllers, sensors and remote monitoring add convenience and save water.
6. Installation
Mounting height, structure, access and site location affect labour. Industrial sites may need work during shutdowns.

Frequently asked questions
Why do you not publish fixed prices?
Two sites rarely need the same design; a fixed price would either over-charge small jobs or under-deliver large ones.
Is a cheap low-pressure kit worth it?
For plant watering or small home areas, maybe. For people cooling in commercial spaces, high pressure is better value.
What are the running costs?
Mainly the pump motor’s electricity and periodic filter and nozzle maintenance.
