Product Details

XPOWERs FM-48 misting fan is a portable cooling solution that creates a comfortable outdoor environment during hot spring and summer days. Setup is quick and easy - simply plug in and connect to a standard garden hose to reduce ambient temperature up to 30 degrees. A high performance sealed motor generates up to 600 CFM airflow. Four nozzles distribute a fine mist over a wide area that will cool down outdoor patios, pool areas, picnics, sporting events and other outdoor activities. Set up the misting fan in gardens and greenhouses to keep plants healthy in hard weather. Use the multipurpose FM-48 without the misting feature as a year-round drying and ventilation utility fan.

Q:How much water does it use?
by|May 20, 2023
2 Answers
Answer This Question

A:  Not a lot. The water is forced through four 0.3 mm misting nozzles so not much water or water pressure is needed for effective use.

    A:  very little but will keep the sidewalk wet

      Q:How far does the mist expand to. No wind..
      by|Nov 26, 2022
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  If by "no wind" you mean without the fan portion running, then the mist will only go as far as your water pressure allows, perhaps a foot or two. The spray distance greatly increases if you turn the fan portion on.

        Q:Will the misters still operate with the blower motor OFF? Want to connect to hose and turn water on for misters but leave fan off.
        by|Jul 25, 2022
        4 Answers
        Answer This Question

        A:  Yes the misters are independent of the blower motor and will still work with the blower motor off. The mist will not go very far though.

        by|Mar 27, 2023

          A:  Yes they do. 

          by|Jul 27, 2022

            A:  Technically yes, but without the fan to disperse the mist, the water will only go as far as the water pressure propels it, and any higher pressure may break the machine. In addition, this unit is meant to be operated either as a fan with the misters off, or ideally, with the fan on at the same time as the misters. Any intentional misuse may void the warranty.

              A:  There is mist that comes out without the fan but without air flow there is no cooling effect. Mist drops straight down and it results in a big water puddle around the mister.

                Q:We are having an outdoor wedding reception in the middle of July. If we use this fan in the tent, will it get our guests, tables, etc. wet? It will be hot and humid? is this better for locations with low humidity?
                by|Jun 27, 2022
                1 Answer
                Answer This Question

                A:  The FM-48 should not be used indoors, especially if there will be many people moving around who need good floor traction, such as waiters and dancers. We recommend using the FM-48 misting fan with a garden hose connection outside the tent to cool off the ambient air, but perhaps a portable air conditioning unit for inside the tent.

                  If you need something to coo off in minutes
                  I keep reading people complain about the nozzles clogging. If the nozzles are clogging it’s because your both poor and dumb. You need to have soft water or have a calcium filter installed to the hose bib to help reduce the nozzles from clogging. The fan works solid . Nuff said .

                    Works as advertised
                    Easy to hook up, and very convenient little fan. A lot of folks were remarking about the little valves spraying water everywhere - that's a very easy fix. They unscrew, and the little diaphragm can be moved and/or adjusted. Powerful fan blows mist effectively to about 25 feet. I have a 16x40 foot deck out back that is uncovered and can be pretty hot. This helped cool all four of us on one side.

                          Dear Jim,

                          We greatly appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear of the issues that your misting fan is experiencing.

                          Most of our customers that experience nozzle clogs have hard water that has a high amount of dissolved minerals, which may not affect your faucets but would be a big issue for smaller openings like showerheads and-you guessed it-our misting fan nozzles.

                          Our recommendation is to equip a garden hose water softener for your XPOWER misting fan so that you can tackle the issue from the roots. Cleaning the nozzle attachments will not prevent rapid mineral buildup due to such a small opening for water, unfortunately. Also, replacement nozzles and different opening sizes of nozzles are available to purchase as well.

                          Hope this helps! XPOWER

                          Bought two of these.. one for Mom one for me....
                          Bought two of these.. one for Mom one for me. Mom's broke 2nd time she used it, started shooting water out of the seem in front. On mine the hose split after the 4th time using it. The fan itself really moves the air... but I bought it for the misting fan feature so both were returned.

                          Dear removefromcart,

                          We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that you've returned the misting fans.

                          We are more than happy to help your mom replace the nozzle attachments at no cost, as well as troubleshoot your issue!

                          It seems that the water pressure maybe a little too high for use with our misting fans. We test our fans at 60 PSI, which is around the average for residences in the US. If it's higher than 60 PSI, or even exceeding the maximum standard allowed in the US (80 PSI), there will be issues with the water hose splitting or nozzle attachments being blown off.

                          Hope this helps! XPOWER

                          Dear CHARLES,

                          Thank you for your feedback.

                          It seems that the water pressure may be a little too low for use with our misting fans. We test our fans at 60 PSI, which is around the average for residences in the US. If it's lower than 60 PSI, or even below the minimum standard allowed in the US (30 PSI), there will be issues with the misting fan's performance.
