I just wanted to say thanks for posting the easy to follow build pages. I had a hard time finding a check valve but used a larger size and tapered down to 1/4FIP. I had it up and running about 3 hours and layed down a nice path about 2inches thick over a 120 X 30 area! The kids could hardly wait to go sledding!

A few fine tuning turns on the air / water mix really makes a huge difference.

Thanks again!

Tony

WTG Tony,
If you decide to build another you can go to Pressure Parts.com an get 1/4" inline check valves for about $7.50 each plus shipping. They are rated @1200psi. I've bought them and they work fine. They also have nozzles for about $3.50 each,most any size you want.
