What is different about making snow at home from what is done at ski areas?
Making snow at home is more difficult for two reasons. The water supply that ski areas draw from is typically a shallow pond that is around 34 to 36deg. Simply put, the lower your water temperature the closer your water is to freezing. Home water temperature can be anywhere from 40 to 68deg. The SG line of snowmakers are specifically designed to operate with these higher temperatures. Second are the resources ski areas operate with. Air water guns use anywhere from 15 to 80 gallons per minute and require massive amounts of compressed air per snow gun to operate. The standard outdoor water spigot on a home produces under 10 gallons per minute and most homes do not have industrial compressors available. The SG line of snowmakers are specifically designed to operate with standard home water supply, small compressor and small and commercial sized pressure washers.
