When the winter comes and it is time to pack away your misting system, it needs to be winterized. In order to do this properly, you need to abide by the following tips. For starters, ensure that all the water is drained from the filter, pump, and lines. This will also include all the hoses as they are sure to have some leftover water from previous uses. If this step is avoided, and this is more so for your hoses, mold can begin to grow and the hose material can begin to deteriorate. Now, take a look at your nozzles and disassemble them from the tubing. You need to ensure that all the water is out of the nozzles as well so dry them off thoroughly before you think about storing them.
The smaller components of your misting system, such as the hoses and the nozzles, should be stored in an area where they will not freeze. Heat is not going to be the enemy here so packing them away in a container in a well-heated (not necessarily blistering hot) environment is going to be key.
