A pressure washer is required with our Forecaster and Cold Front Snow Guns. High-pressure water is used with these snow guns to create properly sized water droplets for snowflakes to form. The size of the pressure washer will directly impact the amount of snow you can produce with both the Forecaster and Cold Front Snow Guns. Pressure washers with a higher GPM (gallons per minute) rating will produce more snow. As a general rule, a pressure washer rated at 1 GPM will produce 1″ of snow per hour. A 2 GPM pressure washer will produce 2″ of snow per hour (so on a so forth).
The Little Cloud Snow Gun does not require a pressure washer to operate and is a great option for beginner snowmakers!
