REQUIREMENTS
- AIR COMPRESSOR
(1) Air compressor is required with the Forecaster Snow Gun. The air Compressor must be rated for at least 5 CFM @ 90 PSI to work properly. Recommended compressor size is between 5-6 CFM @ 90 PSI. Compressors rated greater than 6 CFM @ 90 PSI will work, but will not improve snow quality.
- PRESSURE WASHER
The Forecaster will work with any pressure washer that can produce at least 1000 PSI. You can also use multiple pressure washers/pumps in a "Train System" (for more information please check out the "Forecaster Train Packages" page). The Forecaster Snow Gun will work with any pressure washer(s) rated between 1-6 GPM (gallons per minute) of water flow.
- STANDARD WATER SOURCE
The Forecaster is designed to be used with a standard home water spigot. You can also use a well, lake, pond or other water source as long as the source can produce enough water flow for the pressure washer.
- FREEZING TEMPERATURES
The Forecaster Snow Gun requires freezing conditions to produce real snow. For more information about snowmaking temperatures Click HERE
SNOW OUTPUT
The amount of snow produced will be determined by the pressure washer GPM (gallons per minute) rating. 1 GPM = 1" per hour of snow production. 2 GPM = 2" of snow per hour, etc. The Forecaster Snow Gun can handle up to 6 GPM of water flow from the pressure washer(s). The approximate area coverage for the Forecaster Snow Gun is 12' x 30'.
UPGRADE OPTIONS
Upgrade the Forecaster Snow Gun over time! The Forecaster Snow Gun can be used in a simple setup with one pressure washer, or in a multi-train setup with multiple pressure washers! This gives you the option of making more snow later by adding another pressure washer to your snow gun. For more information check out the Forecaster Multi-Train Packages product page.
