Animal shelters face the issue of dogs overheating during hot summer months. Dogs primarily cool down by panting, as they only sweat from non-fur-covered areas. When temperatures exceed 32°C, panting is insufficient, leading to heat stress or heat stroke. Symptoms include increased heart rate, labored breathing, lethargy, upset stomachs, fainting, or death if not addressed. Implementing misting systems in shelters is an effective solution to combat these heat-related issues.

Filtration systems play a crucial role in achieving fine misting by removing particulates that can clog nozzles. High Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) or impurities in water are primary causes of clogging, making proper filtration essential. Preventing clogging and extending pump and nozzle life involves maintaining proper filtration to ensure clean fluid reaches the nozzles, reducing wear and blockages.
