An outdoor cooling system designed to air condition the outdoors by lowering temperatures up to 30o in minutes has been introduced by California Outdoor Cooling Systems.

Reportedly costing about 200 per hour to operate and using one to two gallons of water per minute, the MISTeT system treats and filters the water and pumps it into 600 lbs. of pressure per sq. in.

Avoid The Gutter

A scientifically-designed alternative to conventional rain gutters,

The Merchant Magazine down spouts and leaders has been introduced by JRW Sales/Service Corp.

Weather-All comes in 5 ft. sections of aluminum foils, held in brackets that are mounted on the fascia, about 7 in. below the roof edge. As rain water flows over the roof edge, it falls onto the foils with enough gravitational force to break into tiny droplets, which fall harmlessly to the ground in a gentle spray, avoiding trenching, erosion, splashing and runoff.

Clogged, unsightly gutters which require cleaning are solved as leaves, twigs and foreign matter are said to generally blow away. Ice build-up is avoided since the unit can't collect water.
