GLOSSARY
Pool Deck Cooling
Pool deck cooling is the application of high-pressure mist systems around hotel and villa pool perimeters to keep sun loungers and pool-side lunch areas usable during midday heat (11:00–15:00). Engineered to avoid wetting swimwear, towels, or the pool water surface itself.
Also known as: Pool terrace cooling · Sun-lounger misting · Resort pool cooling
The problem
A hotel pool deck at 13:00 in Seminyak or Nusa Dua routinely hits 34–36 °C with direct UV. Guests retreat indoors, lunch revenue collapses, towel costs rise, pool loungers sit empty while the venue still pays for cleaning and staff. Shade sails help with UV but do nothing for air temperature.
How it’s installed
Nozzle lines are routed along pergola edges, cabana soffits, and shade-sail masts — typically 3.0–3.2 m above guest heads so the sub-10-micron droplets flash-evaporate well before reaching skin, loungers, or towels. Pump is placed in the service corridor. Controllers respect shoulder hours: misting is inactive at 07:00–10:00 (breakfast), activated 11:00–15:00, paused during rain.
Expected results
- Air temperature drop 8–12 °C in the conditioned band
- Guest dwell time during midday +40–60 min
- F&B pool-side revenue +15–25 % in peak season (observed range, Bali 5-star hotels)
- Dry towels, dry loungers, no pool contamination
