We have decided to switch back our Vector and Veyron Snowmaker's into internal mix snowmakers from external mix. The reason for the switch was for two main reasons:
1. With the external mix design you were unable to add more water to the mix. This meant that as it got colder you couldn't add more water resulting in lower snow production rates.
2. Internal mix designs use less compressed air making them efficient. You will be able to use a 4CFM@90PSI compressor with the new internal mix design compared to 6CFM@90PSI.
Since internal mix snowmaker's can cause water to back flow to your compressor we will also be offering check valves. Now you can order your check valve directly from our Parts and Accessories page and not have to find one in a hardware store.
Current customers of our Vector and Veyron Snowmaker's (no matter when purchased) can have their snowmaker's converted to the new internal mix design by sending us back the tower of your snowgun. For a small fee we will convert your tower into the new internal mix design by adding a valve to regulate your nucleation nozzle and also add a nucleation nozzle on your tower.
If you do not wish to send back your tower and wish to have the new internal mix design, for a higher fee we will send you out a completely new tower. NOTE: Only customers that own a Vector and Veyron Snowmaker will be eligible for the new tower.
We will begin shipping new towers to interested customers beginning 11/19/07. If you wish to send your tower back to have it converted into the internal mix design, we will begin converting them on 11/19/07.
The fee for sending us the tower to convert it will be $60 (this will include return shipping, added nucleation nozzle, an adjustable valve for the nucleation nozzle, and new owner’s manual).
The fee for just obtaining a new internal mix tower will be $85 (this will include shipping and also a new owner’s manual).
Current customers who are interested in either obtaining the new internal mix tower for the Vector or Veyron should contact us by filling out the form on our contact page or by emailing us at contact@snowstormsnowmaking.com
Customers who are interested in sending back their towers to have them converted should contact us by filling out the form on our contact page or by emailing us at contact@snowstormsnowmaking.com
If you wish to add a check valve to your air line to prevent the back flow of water, simply add $15 to your order and we will install it for you. Otherwise you can order one from our parts and accessories page and put it on yourself.
