Fogging Systems
Fog makes heat feel mild. It adds a soft look to stone and plants. It turns a plain yard into a calm retreat. The air feels fresh. The scene looks rich. Your guests will want to stay. You will, too.
Cool-Off fog kits give pro results at home. The parts are strong. The setup is clear. Care is simple. We help you choose parts that fit your space and your budget.
What a Fog System Does
A fog system turns water into tiny drops. The drops look like mist. They drift and dry. As they dry, they pull heat from the air. That is why the space feels cool. The same fine drops can mute glare and add a bit of room moisture. The look is calm. The feel is clean.

Shape the Look With Add-Ons
Fog Risers
Lift tips into view with sturdy risers. Place them in plants, near rocks, or by water. Build a thin cloud where you want it.
Single vs. Triple Fog Heads
- Single Fog Heads make a small, precise drift.
- Triple Fog Heads spread fog wide from one mount.
Memory Tubes
Memory Tubes bend and hold a shape. Aim the fog with care. Tuck the tube near Cactus, Plants, Rocks, or Palm Trees. Hide it from view. The effect feels real and lush.
Where Fog Shines
Landscapes and Garden Beds
Thread a line through shrubs and stones. Run short cycles at dawn and dusk. Colors pop. Photos glow. The yard feels alive.
Fountains and Water Features
Edge a bowl or run a line along a rill. Fog blends with spray and adds depth. Light hits the drops and makes a soft shine.
Pool Decks and Hot Tubs
Cool the air near seats and steps. Aim so the fog drifts across the deck. Use short cycles on hot days. Turn it off fast with one switch.
Waterfalls and Grottos
Hide tips in rocks. Let fog pour out with the fall. The scene feels wild and lush with very little water use.
Paths, Entries, and Courts
Mark the way with low fog. The look is magic yet safe. Keep drift off doors with smart aim.
How It Works
- The pump raises water to about 1000 PSI.
- Water runs through filters and lines to each zone.
- Nozzles make tiny drops that look like mist.
- The mist drifts and then dries. As it dries, it pulls heat from the air.
- You feel cool air without a splash.
Design Tips for a Dry Feel
- Aim tips above head level.
- Start with small orifices and few tips.
- Add light airflow if the air is still.
- Use short cycles in humid weather. Pause between bursts.
- Add shade to boost the cool feel.
Plan Your Zones
Split your yard into zones. Put water, rock, and deck areas on their own switch. That way you run only what you need. You save water. You keep control.
- Water zone: Fountains, rills, and bowls.
- Rock zone: Falls, grottos, and stone beds.
- Deck zone: Seats, steps, and shade sails.
- Path zone: Entries and garden walks.
Install Guide
- Pick a pump spot that is dry, shaded, and vented.
- Connect supply → filter → pump inlet.
- Run high pressure line to the yard.
- Clip lines along edges and backs of features.
- Place risers and Memory Tubes. Aim each tip.
- Flush lines with no tips. Run to waste until clear.
- Install tips by hand. Snug gently. Do not crush the orifice.
- Prime, pressurize, and check for leaks.
- Test one zone at a time. Tune aim and run time.
Care and Upkeep
- Filters: Swap by season or hours. Dirty water needs more swaps.
- Nozzles: If a tip streams, soak it in white vinegar. Rinse and reinstall.
- Lines and joints: Inspect clamps and unions once a month.
- Pump: Keep vents clear. Follow the maker’s guide for checks.
- Winter: Drain lines. Store the pump dry and safe from frost.
Pick Your Pressure
- High Pressure Misting Systems (1000 PSI): Ultra fine mist that dries fast. Best for hot zones and large areas.
- Mid Pressure Misting Systems (200–300 PSI): A smart mix of cost and comfort.
- Low Pressure Misting Systems (60 PSI or home water): Easy entry. Great for small patios.
Layout Ideas You Can Copy
- Small patio set: Two risers and four tips. Run short bursts on hot days.
- Path with lights: Memory Tubes at knee height. Aim away from doors.
- Pool shelf: Three risers near the edge. Fog drifts across lounge chairs.
- Rock fall: Hide six tips in stone gaps. Use short cycles at night.
- Entry court: Two risers by pots. Light fog for a calm first view.
Water Use and Power
Fog uses less water than a hose or spray. Small drops do more with less. Pumps draw power like a small tool. Run only the zones you need. Use timers to save more.
Safety Basics
- Keep fog off open flames and heaters.
- Do not spray near live power panels.
- Post a sign if floors may get slick.
- Keep walk lanes clear. Coil spare hose.
- Use GFCI power outdoors.
Troubleshooting
- Cloud looks thin: Check filters first. Then add one tip at a time.
- Tip streams: Soak in white vinegar and rinse. Replace worn O-rings.
- Wet spots: Aim higher. Shorten cycles. Use smaller orifices.
- Pump runs hot: Check vents and intake water flow.
- Noise on start: Prime the pump and purge air from the line.
FAQ
Will fog make things wet?
Use small tips and high aim. Add light airflow. The feel stays dry in most sites.
How hard is install?
Most DIY owners can do it. Plan the run. Mount the pump. Clip the lines. Flush. Install tips. Test. We can guide you.
Can I add zones later?
Yes. Most systems can grow. Add a line, a few tips, and a valve.
What about hard water?
Use filters. Flush lines before tips go in. Clean tips with white vinegar when the spray changes.
