Hot, Hot, Hot and Now Cool


The heat is on just about all over the country and what a time to pick up one of our newest items to stay cool or should I say cooler by up to 30%.  Lava Heat- Italia, who brought to this country the very popular Glass tube Outdoor heaters has decided that they need an equally dynamic product for the summer months and are introducing the Oasis misting cooling fan. I was skeptical at first to bring on this product line as my wife, Cathy and I once had a misting fan about 3 years ago that we purchased from Lowes. It worked for a while but was somewhat difficult as it that it had to be located near electricity AND near a water hose connection. It did put out a good amount of spay, so much so that anything it was pointed at eventually became soaking wet. After the second season of use, the smaller hose that sprayed the mist eventually became brittle and broke. Now we have a fan but it no longer mist.

Along comes the Oasis Misting Fan that only needs and electrical connection as it carries its own 5 gallon reservoir of water. The fan is on wheels so that it is very mobile when using a long extension cord. Water is drawn from the reservoir and a stream of water is directed to a spinning plate which creates the mist that is then blown by the fan up to 22’ away.  Excess water is captured             and then returned back the reservoir which is then reused. Unlike our old fan that soaked everything that it was pointed to, the Oasis fine mist  just cools but does not soak. The water will last up to 8 hours. The fan has two speeds, a timer and it rotates 90 degrees and can be controlled by a remote. This is perfect for a commercial environment such as an outdoor restaurant. The manager from say behind the bar can turn the fans on and off, control the rotation and turn the misting on and off.  The fan is also great in factory environments, auto garages, waiting areas public & private pools or anywhere people need to be cooled down. 
We recently sold two of the fans to one of our favorite watering holes, The Blue Parrott, here on Lake Norman, NC. The video shows the fan in action.  For only the month of July we are offering our Blog readers a $100 dollar discount. Use Coupon Code OASIS100.

For those following our efforts to restore Sinbad, the 1968 all wood Egg Harbor yacht, the profits from our dedicated PatioandYards web site  for the month of June were $1,414.22 which more brings the total savings to $2664.22.  When work starts in earnest on Sinbad at the rate of $65.00 per hour, that works out to about 40 man hours out of the estimated 1000 man hours that will be needed. Whew, still a long way to go.

Stay tuned and of course, stay cool
