Follow these quick steps to make sure things are running smoothly during operation!
Our recommendation is to re-check these steps periodically during operation to make sure things are working correctly. As you become familiar with the process, little to no checking is required!
Check Outside Temperature and Humidity
We’ve made this mistake plenty of times! Always double-check the temperature and humidity BEFORE and DURING a snowmaking session. Many times, the temperature will change, and conditions may not be right for snowmaking. Keep a close eye on the outside temperature specifically to make sure you stay in “snowmaking temperatures”. If the temperature gets too warm while the snow machine is running, you’ll start spraying water instead of making snow.
Check the Nucleation Nozzle
The bottom Nucleation nozzle is essential to making snow. If this nozzle is not working properly, you will make ice instead of snow. Make sure you have enough airflow and pressure exiting this nozzle (60PSI +). If you mistakenly regulate the air compressor and the airflow is decreased, the air will not be strong enough to break the water droplets small enough for snowflake formation.
