We hope everyone has been having a great summer so far. We apologize for the long delay in updating our blog, but we have been busy getting ready for this upcoming winter season. We have put a lot of time and effort into Research and Development this year. We are sure you will be pleased with some of the changes that are coming to our line of snowmakers.
Here are just some of things you will see different this year over last year:
- AUTOMATIC NUCLEATION VALVE on all of our assembled snowmakers that run off of pressure washers. No more having to manually adjust the valve by using a 10mm nut driver. Once you hook up your pressure washer and compressor to the snowmaker, the valve will automatically adjust to flow the right amount of water to the nucleation nozzle.
Before you had to manually adjust the nucleation valve. This posed two problems. First you had to have a 10mm nut driver in order to adjust the valve (unless you had an Excel Series Snowmaker). If you didn't have one, you had to purchase one and it was often difficult to buy a single one. This forced you to buy an entire set of nut drivers which could cost as much as $50. Second, most people would over open the manual valve and flow too much water to the nucleation nozzle. This resulted in the snowmaker making ice or poor quality snow. The new automatic nucleation valve eliminates both of these problems.
Internal mix snowmakers are MUCH more efficient when compared to external mix snowmakers. However most people prefer the external mix snowmakers due to their simplicity to use. Our new automatic nucleation valve gives you the simplicity of an external mix snowgun, but with the efficiency of an internal mix snowgun. Just hook your pressure washer and compressor hoses up to our snowmakers and the automatic nucleation valve will do the rest! Our new automatic nuclation valve is a FIRST for the home snowmaking industry.
- Changes in the appearance of the Excel Series Snowmakers. A new aluminum base will replace the old style "T" fitting. The aluminum base helps to mix the air and water better and thus increase the snow quality. The Excel Series Snowmakers will also feature our new automatic nucleation valve mentioned above.
- Our existing line of snowmaker kits will have their instructions re-written to make assembling them much easier.
- A new, all metal snowmaker, that runs off a standard garden hose.
- AND MUCH MORE! Check back in with us in late August when we launch our newly updated website with all of the above changes and more!
Enjoy summer while it's here, but snowmaking weather is just around the corner!
