OverviewofFanTechHigh‐PressureMistingSystem
Thank you for choosing Fan Tech as your provider for high‐pressure misting systems. Fan Tech is
devoted to providing its customers with reliable high‐pressure cooling systems engineered with quality
components to meet their cooling needs.
Fan Tech’s high‐pressure misting system provides superior cooling by combining small orifice misting
nozzles with a high pressure pump to create a very fine mist or fog. This fine mist will quickly evaporate
reducing the temperature of the ambient air. Fan Tech pairs the misting system with durable fans to
reduce the temperature in the desired location.
Start‐upandOperationProcedures
High‐pressure misting systems require both electrical and water to function properly. Electrical
connections are needed to provide power to the pump motor and the fan motor. Use the proper
electrical source to ensure the system will operate correctly. Contact a certified electrician to verify the
proper installation if necessary. The water should be supplied to the tank through the garden hose
connection on the back of the unit.
1. Connect the water supply to the 3/4” female garden hose adapter on the back of the unit. The
water supply should meet the following conditions:
Flow rate of 1GPM or more
Water less than 7.5 pH
Pressure between 15‐75 PSI
Dissolved solid content less than 500 PPM
Possible damage from improper water supply includes:
Clogged misting nozzles or filters due to solids in water.
Black or galvanized steel pipe fittings; only use hose and pipe fittings compatible with water to
prevent corrosion.
Pump damage may occur due to fluctuations in the water supply, cogged nozzle, or closed off
discharge side of pump. Never attempt to operate the pump with no water supply connected.
2. Connect the proper power supply. The FTC‐P‐18‐5 system is equipped with a 15amp 110v plug. The
amp requirements are located on the motor plates of both the pump motor and fan motor. Do not use
unapproved extension cords or adapters to connect the system. Common electrical systems have plugs
only rated to 15 amps. Common breakers are overloaded at 20 amps. Consult a certified electrician if
you are unsure about your power supply.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: Serious injury or death is possible
Only connect the power supply plug to a properly grounded receptacle.
