Broken produce misting system...

The misting system did not have enough water pressure available to produce the fine mist required.

Time to take a closer look...

There was no way the water pressure could have been 160 plus PSIG when there was low water pressure on the spray header and I doubted a restriction. I checked it out and the gauge had failed.

I started up the system with the new gauge. The pump motor was working with no pressure differance across the impeller. On a closer inspection I found a broken off connector on the impeller
