im actually doing a project on snowamking for home use! this is nice, you can build your own from a trip down to your local plumbing store and a couple of parts but you still need that steady running compressor and hose. Its actually pretty sick how there made and how they work, you can add a couple more nozzles and a powerwasher and get much more snow!

this is just one of the snowmakers from this company later on they will start selling all the others they have this is just like their premier for this one. The other snowguns this company makes are typically cheaper than most other companies and they're just as good.

you can make combo guns (the type of guns advertised) for 50 dollars out of plumbling parts found at home depot. i did and it works perfectly.

this might be a really really stupid question......

Me and my friend want to make snow for one night, i have a pressure washer and he has an aircompressor. Would it be possible to ghetto rig the snowmaker piece with PVC and gorrilla tape... like make a T out of PVC and then Gorilla tape the Air to the bottom, and the water on one side.. I'm new to this and still trying to figure out the concept.

i tried just spraying a pressure washer into the air once on a cold day, it made snow but if its at all windy its gonna spread out way too much to actually accumulate anything.

might work if its really cold though, like -15 or -20 or something where the snow would freeze and fall faster but i duno.
