how to assemble misting fan how to put together Perfect Air Atmos 18" Fan
hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper I enjoy spending time in the winter months in Arizona but
then it just gets too hot thanks to the Cova 19 coronavirus I ended up being
down there when it still got so hot so I bought an 18 inch misting fan Perfect Air Atmos 18" Fan at the
hardware store this one's by Perfect Air Atmos 18" Fan but I think they make other ones and I thought
it would show you how to put a misting fan assemble it together whenever you're opening a big box start
at the bottom cut it open and then lift the box off that just gets you started
easier Perfect Air Atmos 18" Fan it comes with a nice heavy base and then the pole has a white handle on
it unscrew the white handle then you're going to look the base has a couple
little notches in it you want to align the notches with the corresponding slots
in the base stick it in there and then reattach that white handle from
underneath the base the Perfect Air Atmos 18" Fan pole has an extender on it so you have to unscrew
the adjuster through the cap so that you can get the inner pole out so that you
can adjust it and slide the cap all the way down screw it back on and you can
see it's got a little rubber part you want to make sure that the rubber part
stays down now look at the fan base it has a blade cap which you want to
unscrew the blade cap and then there's a plastic nut you want to also remove the
plastic nut
look at the rear grill it has a handle on it which should be up place it on to
the motor part and you want to place it so that the three prongs are attached
now take that plastic nut and screw it back on
that looks like a pin where the fan goes and you want to line up the notches with
that pin so slide on the blade and then attach that blade cap
now look at the big front section of the fan on the inside is the water hose so
let that hang out and then you want to loosen the two screws
make sure that the logo is right side up and then you want to snap the front of
it over the rest of the fan and tighten those two screws now if you look at the
base where the cord comes out there's a screw you need to loosen up that screw
and you can see that it it's going to slide into a notch
on the pole make sure the screw is far enough out slide the fan motor part over
the pole and then tighten that screw up nicely it should be secure because it
has a notch that holds it in place
now you can see how you can adjust the fan up and down and make sure that that
rubber gasket part is down over the handle because it's a waterproof feature
it has a little bracket for holding the hose or the electrical cord but I find
that neither of them stayed in place very long and it worked fine without
them if you look at the controls there's several speeds but it has like a GFI
component to the plug so when you plug it in you have to reset it every time so
that it helps protect you from because water and electricity just don't mix so
make sure you always remember that you have to hit the reset on the plug before
you can turn on your fan
you're ready to hook up the hose there's a little like a ball lever and that
controls how much water so you can open it for more water less water to come out
of your hose attach it to your hose plug it in press the reset button and you're
ready to go there are three nozzles where the water sprays out and I was
surprised at how much water comes out and now quickly it comes out and how far
it can spray even when the fan isn't turned on it Perfect Air Atmos 18" Fan can oscillate back and
forth
now the fan works great all by itself inside but if you wanted to use the
water part don't turn it on with the water inside anywhere because it gets
everything pretty wet
also know that misting fans really do a great job cooling you in a desert type
climate but if you live in a very humid place it isn't as refreshing and nice as
it is if you're in a dry desert climate it's the evaporation of the
water that helps cool you I found this to be a fantastic fan to use on a hot
day just the fan itself was refreshing and a addition of the water made it
extra nice it is rather noisy but it does a great job of cooling the area and
keeping you refreshed if you want to use the water misting feature while I was
glad I had this fan and it helped make my stay in Arizona enjoyable I'm
certainly glad to be back in Alaska where the summers are mild and
delightful I hope my video helps show you how to put this fan together and
some of the features of it if you enjoyed my video I hope you'll share it
