What needs to be done to maintain my misting system?

Every winter when the weather is comfortable and you don’t need to run your mister, you should have it inspected and maintained.
 
If you call a pro to do the job, you’ll pay around $80 for the service. The technician will:
 

• Flush the mist line to prevent calcium and sediment buildup.
• Remove and clean the nozzles.
• Make sure water-supply lines are secure.
• Drain water from the pump so it won’t freeze.
• Replace the filter. This could cost an additional $15.
• Add oil to the pump.

A good once-over once a year can prevent costly repairs later, and can ensure that your mister will work during the summer when you really need it.
