OrbitArizona Mist 10103 Misting Nozzle Cleaner, 8-Ounce

I have installed high pressure misting systems at my home two times. I was ignorant at first. Purchasing replacement nozzles, etc. Then I found this. Essentially, if you DON'T damage the nozzle, you never need to replace it. It is made of metal. Unless the little O ring wears out....they don't change dimension and no problems. So why don't they work after many hours? Clogging with minerals. How do you clean them? Easy! THIS STUFF. Simple remove the nozzles, disassemble them and place all the components into a bowl and soak them in this stuff for 20 minutes. DONE. Re-assemble and re-attach to your system. Nozzles are like new and function great. You will get YEARS of use out of one set of nozzles if you just USE THE CLEANER. Great product. Saved me from lots of aggravation and "dripping" on my guests. Note: to lengthen the life between cleanings...I installed an inline calcium inhibitor filter AND a charcoal RV DRINKING water filter to the garden hose connection to the high pressure pump. This decreased the PPM's of elements in the water...thus increasing the duration of operation between cleanings.

This worked great for me. Upon setting up my misting system after a winter spent in storage, I had noticed that several of the nozzles were at least partially clogged. At first I was going to try CLR to clean them up, but I noticed on the label that it shouldn't be used on brass. So despite its seemingly high cost, I gave this a try instead. It was really easy to use. I just soaked the nozzles in this solution for a few minutes, rinsed them off thoroughly, and screwed them back in. Every one of them started spraying normally again. And although the price might be unappealing at first, keep in mind that it takes very little solution to submerge even a couple dozen nozzles, so you should be able to get many uses out of this before you'll run out.

We remove our nozzles in the winter, and use this to soak them for about a day before re-installing them in the spring. Not perfect, but do seem to help keep the nozzles clean.

Had about 20 heads, soaked for 2 hours, 8 still clogged, soaked again for an hour, shaking jar every so often, 8 remaining cleared and all are good now. Don't waste the solution, an ounce or two in a very small container, shake occasionally and you should be successful.

I use a run of about 20 nozzles to cool down the evening side of my shaded in porch, which also helps the birds stay cool.I have been using this system for a few years now. Vinegar and water in a sonic cleaner works OK, but this cleaner seems to work a bit better, even though there are still about 2 out of 10 that just can't be cleaned out.This is probably the best your going to get to clean misting nozzles. If you use these nozzles, you might want to order them in at least lots of 20, as you will have to toss one every once and a while.

We've had misters on our back deck for several years now for those 90+ degree days in the summer. Our water here isn't exactly "hard", but has enough particulates that there will we build-up over time and nozzles become blocked or go into drip-drip-drip mode instead of spray mode. Soaking the nozzles in this cleaner makes them "like new" in little or no time. A tiny-tiny needle is handy, too, sometimes to clear the nozzle.Heck, it's contents/chemicals are probably the same of some other household cleaner products we have lurking around, but the packaging of this product makes them easily storable and accessible with all the other "deck" stuff we have.

This stuff is amazing! Clears slow and clogged misting nozzles. Be patient and agitate the nozzles in the solution occasionally for best results.

I had been using white vinegar to clear the nozzles with little success. I tried the Orbit solution, followed the directions and 9 of 10 nozzles worked.
