When Mother Nature cranks up the heat and shade alone just won't cut it, Ergodyne has you covered with the SHAX® 6095 Misting System. The first of its kind in the safety industry, this is the perfect compliment to rest and shade. This misting system comes standard with a two-gallon water tank, a high-performance pressure pump, and a hose connection, 25 feet of tubing with 8 brass nozzles, and 8 hook-and-loops straps to attach it to a tent frame.
Whether pressurized using the fill-and-pump method or the hose connection, it produces a super fine mist for instant cooling relief. Depending on your access to water, you can either fill the tank first or attach the system directly to the tent frame.
If you choose to fill up first, unscrew the pump by pushing the handle all the way down and lightly twisting counterclockwise to lock. Once locked, twist the piece counterclockwise to remove the entire pump mechanism. Fill with water to the 2-gallon line, but don’t overfill. Replace pump mechanism and twist clockwise to tighten. To assemble, attach the nozzles by threading the female end of tubing through the male coupling on the water tank. Tighten the bell cap completely, but don’t overdo it, tough guy. Using the provided hook-and-loop straps, now you can install the system by attaching the tubing to the tent frame. Twist the nozzle heads to tighten and aim them to your misting direction of choice.
To pressurize your system, first ensure that the blue on/off switch is in the “off” position. Then unlock the handle by twisting lightly until it can be pulled upward. Now it’s time to pump it up. This will build pressure in the tank – once it becomes difficult to pump, the tank is fully pressurized. Flip the blue on/off switch to “on” to begin misting. To skip the fill-and-pump method, connect a garden hose to the hose connection. Make sure the pump handle is securely locked, then turn the hose on and fill to the 2-gallon line. Pressure will begin to build automatically. Once the tank is full or nearly full, turn the nozzles on. The system has an automatic smart pressure valve that will prevent the flow of water into the tank once maximum capacity has been reached and you can run it continuously. In this configuration, the misting system can run until the water runs dry and can be turned on and off using the blue switch on the nozzles.
When you’re finished with the system, turn the misting off. Without standing directly above the tank, depressurize it by slowly removing the pump mechanism from the tank (without standing directly above). Store the 6095 by detaching it from the frame of the tent. Wrap the tubing in a circular configuration and secure it with the hook-and-loop straps. Store it in a bag, a truck bed, or wherever else you may need it.
