A water misting fan is a great way to cool a small outdoor space such as a patio or section of pool deck. Since these fans come with a 3-prong plug and attach to a standard garden hose, they are pretty easy for the do-it-yourselfer to install.
Step 1
Select a stable, flat, and solid vertical surface for your fan. The fan will include a mounting bracket with a large mounting hole. Mount the bracket placing the appropriate 3/8” hardware through the mounting hole. The fan should not be mounted in a window as rain and moisture can result in an electrical hazard.
Step 2
Attach brass male adapter with Teflon tape to the misting ring with a 9/16” wrench.
Step 3
Attach the other end of brass male adapter to the nylon tubing using a 9/16” wrench and a 5/8” wrench. Be sure to hand-tighten the nut, then complete the seal with one wrench turn of fitting. Do not over-tighten.
Step 4
Attach the hose adapter to the end of the nylon tubing and wrench tight. The manufacturer recommends using the full 25 ft of nylon tubing.
Step 5
Center the misting ring on the front of the fan and attach with zip-ties.
Step 6
Flush the system before putting in the mister nozzles. Insert the nozzles and begin misting.
Step 7
Adjust the air flow upward or downward by tilting the head of the fan. To change the fan speed, pull on the chain; each pull will change it to the next speed setting (the fan has three settings - low, medium and high).
