We have to talk, I got a creek too, but am worried about running dirty water through the NUC nozzles, I got 40 gpm @ 90 psi and 20 cfm @ 175 psi. I need guns!

Anyway nipples is super stoked for the season to start. We will be at BB a lot, BC on the weeknights He is all about the snow - you can find him on myspace, PASR or pm here

No wonder I've been getting so many messages from people wondering how to build them haha. Its not that complicated just search online for plans. It'll cost you more to make it yourself but its way more fun. This gun would be the equivalent to the medium I sell.

For all thoe who want plans. http://ceremuga.com/Pictures/Snowgun/SnowMaker4_hp.pdf

I also make snow and those are the plans for the gun I made. All you need is to build the gun, an air compressor which has at lest 5 cfm @90 psi (the cheapest and best one which I use can be found here http://www.eatoncompressor.com/catalog/item/733537/450646.htm ), and any pressure washer which has an output of at least 1200 psi. And of course you will need 20 25' or 50' garden hoses for the air and water and a 25' or 50' pressure washer hose to connect from the pressure washer to the gun. You will also need a quick connect fitting to connect from the pressure washer hose to the guns quick connect fitting. Hope you have fun making it. IF YOU NEED ANY HELP PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO GO TO www.snowguns.com . It is the best snowmaking forum on the planet and the best homesnowmakers in the world post on it every day. Just like here though dont ask a question that has already been asked, use the search bar. Oh yeah you need to sign up to post and view the forums so signup is a must and is quick and easy.

Oh yeah and also with regard to water, it really isnt as expensive as you think it would be. About $10 per 12 hours of use i would say. And to figure out at which temperares u can make snow use this calculator http://www.the-snowman.com/wetbulb.html . The wetbulb temperature has to be below 32 degrees but good snow is made under a wetbulb temperature of 28 degrees. The wetbulb is a combination of the humidity and regular temperature.
