This won't work in areas with very hard water. In my hometown, the water is basically freshly squeezed rock juice, and that tiny ion exchange "filter" would die in a month or less.

If you have soft water, or are willing to plumb this thing g into your house water system behind a water softener, it should work fine, though.

Would this work is a really humid environment like Houston, TX?

This trick worked like a charm for me one hot day in Texas. Our air conditioner was just not keeping up, and the servers were overheating and acting up. I walked out back, set the spray nozzle on "mist", and misted the compressor.

The compressor calmed right down, and the blast of cold air from the system sent the rest of the staff out back to see what I had done. When I explained the physics, my boss said, "So, somebody just has to stand here and mist this thing and you can get back to work?"

I handed him the hose and said, "Yep!"

I was thinking of making something like this for my AC unit too.

The only difference is that instead of a direct mister, I would wrap the unit with swamp cooler evaporation pads and have have the water nozzles saturate those pads instead.

I'm certain this would reduce the over all volume of air but I assume the far lower air temperature would make the unit run better anyways.

You can also put up a a few lattice fence panels around the unit to provide shade, which helps quite a bit.

My dad was building one of those when he was my age, but things got in the way and he never finished it.
