Best Practices
To keep you MisterHub product operating at optimal efficiency, we have detailed some Best Practices which we believe you should follow.
​
1. Adding Water
A. Tap Water
We find that tap water works fine for system, but over time Calcium deposits could accumulate in the mister nozzles. This may occur after months or years of use. You will begin to see a reduced misting affect or a straight line of water coming from the mister nozzle. If this occurs, the misting nozzles need to be cleaned or replaced. (See Maintenance and Troubling Shooting 1. B).
​
B. Keep black service hose connected to water cap couplings.
When adding water, we recommend that the black service hoses not be detached from the water cap couplings.
Misting systems are designed to be closed systems. If any of the service hoses are exposed to air, dust can get into the system. Once in the system this dust can cause the mister nozzles to clog and not work properly. You might experience a narrow spray of water coming from the mister nozzle rather than a fine mist.
To prevent the misting nozzle from attracting dust we recommend not removing the black service hose from the water cap coupling. The water bag should be filled by removing the water cap from the water bag and keeping the black service lines connected to the couplings. Removing the black service hose from the coupling will cause the water to drain from the hose and allow air into the service line. Any air in the service line could allow small dust particles to enter the service line and work their way to the mister nozzles.
If you do remove the black service lines from the coupling you need to complete a Full Reprime (See Maintenance and Troubleshooting Item 1. A. 3. Full Reprime). Failure to complete Full Reprime will allow dust particles to accumulate in the mister nozzle and over time deteriorate the misting affect.
2. Pump Handle Storage
A. Avoid Storage in Extreme Heat.
For best battery life, we recommend that the pump handle not be stored in extreme heat for extended periods of time. While lithium-ion batteries perform well at elevated temperatures, prolonged exposure to extreme heat reduces longevity.
We recommend that you do not store the pump handle in areas of extreme heat of over 1110° for extended periods of time.
B. Do not discharge battery more than 80%.
To extend the battery charge and conserve water the battery is equipped with a unique energy saving feature that will deactivate the battery after about 5 minutes of continued use. This allows the golfer to walk away from the golf cart and not worry about the mister system draining the battery or water supply.
You should recharge the battery after every use. A normal round of golf will last about 4 ½ hours. With normal use the battery will discharge about 30% to 50% and you should see 2 or 3 LED lights still lit after a round of golf. While it may be tempting to use the battery again without recharging, we highly recommend charging the battery after every use.
Fulling discharging the battery to Zero will negatively affect the battery life. We recommend that you do not discharge the battery beyond 80%. Discharging the battery to Zero and left discharged for an extended period of time will negatively impact its life and could put the battery in a permanent sleep mode.
​
C. Long Term Storage
The battery should be charged to about 50% before for long term storage. The battery should keep its charge for 6 months if maintained at a moderate room temperature. After 3 months you should inspect the charge to ensure that the battery is maintaining a charge. Recharging the battery to 50 % is recommended.
