Cool-Off: misting systems and shade for outdoor cooling

Cool-Off is a retailer and supplier of outdoor cooling and shade equipment, operating an online catalogue aimed at homeowners, hospitality businesses, event venues, schools, municipalities and industrial sites. The company presents itself as having more than twenty years of experience in outdoor cooling, and states that it has been setting what it calls the industry standard since 2004. Its range combines misting technology with shade products, and it also offers outdoor heaters to extend use into colder months.

Misting fans by pressure level

The fan line is organised by the pressure of the water system they work with. The catalogue distinguishes high-pressure, mid-pressure and low-pressure misting fans, alongside portable misting fans and retrofit kits for adapting existing equipment. Named portable models include the Island Breeze Portable Misting Fan and the Tropic Breeze Portable Misting Fan. The company describes its misting fans as suited to high-heat environments and presents them as its leading cooling solution.

Complete misting systems and components

Cool-Off sells complete misting systems in the same three pressure categories, plus patio misters and fogging systems. Among the listed products are a 40-foot high-pressure kit with an app-controlled pump and 20 nozzles, a 60-foot version with 30 nozzles and a 100-foot version with 50 nozzles, as well as a mid-pressure kit with stainless tubing. The catalogue also covers the parts needed to build or maintain an installation: misting pumps, nozzles, rings, tubing, hardware, plugs and valves, system fittings, and filters, softeners and kits.

Shade: umbrellas, canopies and tents

Shade products form a second major block. Cool-Off distributes patio umbrellas from FIM (C-Series, Flexy Series and P-Series), Jardinico (models JCP.101, JCP.201, JCP.301, JCP.401 and JCP.501) and Shademaker, whose line includes the Galaxy, Orion, Polaris, Solaris, Astral, Libra, Aquarius, Atlas, Taurus and Gemini models, with replacement canopies available. Treasure Garden umbrellas are listed in rectangular, octagonal and square formats, and the range extends to custom giant patio umbrellas, cabanas and shade sails. Misting tents are offered for events, job sites and gatherings, and the Mister Brella line combines a built-in misting function with umbrella shade for outdoor dining and lounge areas.

Residential, commercial and industrial applications

The company frames its catalogue around three settings: residential, commercial and industrial. For homes, it positions fans, kits and umbrellas as a way to make patios and pool areas usable throughout the day. For businesses, it presents misting as an alternative to costly HVAC systems for keeping warehouse staff cool, and as a way for restaurants to maintain a comfortable atmosphere for customers. It states that hospitality groups, event venues, schools and municipalities rely on its equipment for cooling large areas, and that it can coordinate with architects, builders and facility teams on routing and service planning. The stated aim is to match system performance to the customer's budget, from a single fan to a resort-scale installation.

Ordering and support

Sales are handled through the online store, with a sales address for enquiries and a separate support address. The company advertises free shipping on orders over $200, subject to exclusions, and says products ship with everything needed to get started. It also publishes installation guides and a warranty section, and states that its team can be reached by phone around the clock. A brochure is available for download. The site lists the areas it serves across the United States, including Los Angeles, Scottsdale, Phoenix, Dallas, Austin, Houston, Orlando, Miami, Tampa, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Southern Utah, South Jordan, Tucson, Mesa, Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley.
