Question: Do you have to fill the melting hopper with water before you can start to melt snow?

Answer: No. The Snow Dragon snowmelters have been designed so that you can perform a Dry-Start method (available on the SND900 & SND1800). By choosing this option, simply turn on the burners and dump a bucket of snow onto the heat exchanger tubes. The hot tubes will turn the cold snow into water. While this option will take longer than the traditional method of adding water, it can be beneficial if you do not have access to a water supply.
