Copper is man's oldest metal, dating back more than 10,000 years. It is also the most widely-used material for high pressure misting system components because of its durability, value, and paintability.
Unpainted copper looks great both new and aged, especially against desert color schemes. For very light exterior colors, some misting system owners prefer stainless steel, natural or powder coated. When painted, however, copper components match nicely with any color scheme.
