You may be well into your winter mode, enjoying the cooler temperatures and the holiday season. But did you know that while you aren’t using your misting system during this time of year, the components are susceptible to damage in winter temperatures? Misting system winter maintenance and shut down service protects your misting system, helping to extend its life and to operate at maximum efficiency when you do need again…in just a few months.
Beware of Freezing Temperatures
Although you may be in an area where the days are still reasonably warm, just one night at 36 degrees or lower can create cracks, bursts or leaks in your misting systems pipes and components. Even without freezing, water sitting in the pipes can become stagnant and should be emptied when you aren’t using your misting system for a long time.
