Works perfectly, but you need to understand the drain valve
After reading the mixed reviews of this product I was skeptical about the performance when I bought it. It was easy to install, nice solid brass misters and the perfect length for our patio. After the first use I emptied the drain valve only to turn it back on and see water shooting out the end. I thought it was because I didn't have it tight enough or loose enough. Then my brilliant wife asked if there was supposed to be a stopper inside to cease the water flow. Low and behold when I took the drain valve cover off earlier a little teeny round black rubber ball fell out. Once placed back inside it worked like a champ again. The drain valve no longer leaked.
Make sure when you empty the drain valve that you don't let the tiny rubber ball fall out, otherwise your misting system will be nothing more than a hose.

Orbit misting system
I installed this system, along with a 10 ft extension, about 2 weeks ago hoping to cool the front deck which seems to radiate heat during hot, sunny days. It has provided some cooling but not as much as I had hoped for. My first problem was that the drain valve didn't work - it just spouted water though it was suppossed to close when the system is under pressure. I ended up folding over the end of the tubing and then open it back up to drain the system when I turn it off. Without draining it the nozzles drip for hours. The other problem is the operating pressure. I've found I have to really fine tune the pressure at the hose bib which feeds the system - too much pressure and the deck is drenched in a matter of minutes, too little pressure and the nozzles don't mist, they just spray or drip. They say this system can be extende out to 50 ft but I wouldn't recommend that. With 20 ft I can see a marked difference in the pressure at the first nozzle and the last. There seems to be too much...
Summer Relief
After researching a half dozen misting systems. I chose this one because of the price and the statement that it was easy to install. From package to completion it took 15 minutes. It really does drop the temperature and now family and friends hangout on my patio during the heat of the summer. It's Great!
