what are you using for a nozzle and how big are the holes? my snowgun puts out to much water (only using garden hose y adapter for control)

[scooterworld]

im just using an endcap with a hole in it id dint want to spend the money for a snowmaking-nozzle but it would work much better if it had one

[pookapa]

thats all i used, what size hole do you have, i need a better way to control the water flow

[scooterworld]

dont remember sorry something pretty small though

is there any reason why you have the air hose and the water hose so far apart? and last question, how do you keep the water hose from freezing when its not running?

[scooterworld]

i take the hoses inside when im not using them. I made the mistake of leaving them outside once.

What temperature does this work at

Will a 4.6 gal 2hp 3.5cfm at 90 psi compressor work? what about a 10 gal? Thanks!

how long does it take for the snow to accumulate with that maker??

[gurusam666]

i think your machine would work better if you had the air at the bottom and the water a few inches above it. but you would have to get a check valve so you dont ruin your compressor

on my new one for this year i stole the nozzles off of a couple of herbicide sprayers i found in the trash, my machine is internal mix with two nozzles all i needed to fit the nozzles were 1/4 inch close coupler and a 1/2 to 1/4 bushing
