Anybody with experience with putting a mist system in their balcony or patio or open area? Since it's so bloody hot....

If I am unclear in my description, maybe this link could help....

The following questions if answered would be helpful

1) Is the maintenance cost extremely high? I heard you have to maintain the system every quarter

2) Is it unhealthy? I heard that you could get sick if you didn't do item (1) regularly

3) What do you need to install?

4) What is the approximate cost to buy a wall mounted fan version

5) Any one / contractor to recommend?

Many thanks....btw....if you didn't know it by now....the heat wave is killing me...

My husband & I took the cheap and easy route. We just bought an auramist misting fan for our deck and it's worked good enough for us. The perk of this system is it's doesn't leave my guests feeling wet when we're eating outside. We actually wanted something portable and not have to deal with crazy contractors. (We've had some bad experiences in the past). Hope this helps.
