Instructions for making snow.
Requirements for operation:
-
Air Compressor with a minimum rating of 3 CFM @ 90 PSI.
-
Air hose (with 1/4 inch Industrial Style, Quick Connect fitting).
-
Garden Hose.
-
Valved garden hose connector.
-
Cold Weather.
-
Tap water, at 40-60 PSI.
-
No pressure washer required. Great for use in marginal snowmaking weather,
where you might not be able to make snow with a pressure washer design.
How the Snowmaker works:
-
Works by mixing low pressure water and compressed air. When air is allowed to rapidly expand,
there is a sudden decrease in temperature (known as the Joule-Thomson Effect). The conditions at
the nozzle are such that the mist is able to immediately freeze, resulting in snow.
Operating the Snowmaker:
-
First step is to check if the weather conditions are right for snowmaking.
-
You will need to attach your Snowmaker to something secure (like a tripod, ladder, etc).
-
Connect your garden hose to a water spigot and to the garden hose connection on your snowmaker.
Use a valved hose connector on the snowmaker end, for best results. -
Connect the air hose from your compressor to the snowmaker, using the quick connect fitting.
-
Close the water and turn on your compressor.
-
You should now have just air coming out of the nozzle.
-
Open the water slowly, until you have a steady spray of water and air coming out the nozzle.
Adjust the water to get the steadiest stream possible. -
If the weather conditions are right for snowmaking, you should now be making snow!
