What are snow machines?
Snow machines create a falling snow effect with foam/bubble blown into the air.
They typically use a soap based liquid and blow tinny bubbles through a 'sock' at the nozzle.
Internal parts:
Blower:
The blower in cheap units is often a vacuum cleaner blower motor inside of a plastic housing.
These draw air through ventilation gaps on the unit and blow into a fabric 'sock'.
Pump:
Pumps in these are generally what fails first.
The pumps are typically solenoid pumps which use a piston to move the fluid.
At the inlet of the pump is a hose originating from inside the fluid tank. This typically has a small brass filter at the end.
This brass filters are typically known under the terms;
