Misting Nozzles
Misting Nozzles are an effective way of lowering the greenhouse temperature or raising the humidity levels in a greenhouse.
They are ideal for warm, dry climates and complement the use of roof ventilation and greenhouse shading systems for cooling.
The fine mist quickly lowers the greenhouse temperature and maintains a comfortable level of moisture in the air. This prevents the rapid transpiration of moisture from plants, which can induce stress and wilting.
Misting systems are not suited for climates that have a naturally high relative humidity coinciding with a high air temperature.
Too much humidity in a greenhouse can slow down the rate of transpiration excessively, which results in plant stress and poor calcium transportation within a plant.
If a misting system is used in a high humidity climate the introduction of a fine mist to the growing environment will quickly raise the humidity levels beyond 85% and contribute to plant problems such as Tip Burn on lettuces and Blossom End Rot in tomatoes as well as slower overall growth.
Pure Hydroponics supplies the range of Netafim Coolnet Pro misting nozzles.
These nozzles are super-fine static misters especially designed for cooling and humidifying greenhouses and livestock, and for irrigating over propagation tables.
The nozzles come as a complete unit with barbed inlet, dropper assembly, stabilising weight and anti drain valve + nozzle manifold.
Growers can easily install the misting nozzles themselves by attaching them to overhead lateral tube (or PVC pressure pipe) or Pure Hydroponics can design a turn key system for them complete with automated misting controller, solenoid valves and pressure pump.
Simply program the misting controller with the required temperature and humidity levels and leave it to do the rest.
