Here is some of the parts you may need I may miss some but it gives you an Idea . Brass or steel 4. 3/8 tees 2. 3/8 ninety degree 3 1/4 4002 baulk nozzles 1 nucleator (4008 or 6008 ) nozzle what ever size will work for your gun and temperatures 1 3/8 NPT to 22mm quick connecter and more

Whoa... weird nucleation setup!!! Doesn't seem like that'd work! It will probably create better mixing if the nucleation nozzle/chamber is shorter. What's on the end there?  A tube or something? Or is it ice? A long mixing chamber gives the air and water inside the nuc a long time to separate, meaning worse nucleation spray.

At the end of the snow making run I made it shorter and made it into a letter 'W' shape nucleation nozzle. At the time it worked so I did it. On the end yes (it) is a long thin copper tube. It was real cold at the time and it worked real good.

is that just a power washer?

[littleonecute]

No air and a power washer.

Can you share a little light on that nucleation nozzle?

it looks like it works, ive been having trouble on finding a good one.

compressor + pressure washer is the only way to do it at home. Without a compressor it would actually have to be -20F for it to work.

so is that just a pressure washer with air??
