Which is the better foamer?

Which is the better foamer? I see videos of both and they both look like the work well.

The Cam Spray foamer at everypressure washer. Its $80 dropped shipped direct from Camspray. It has the adjustment dial on the side. You probably
will want to use a 32oz container and lengthen the pick-up tube.

The first one. Camspray is the best one to get. No need to look any further into it.

I ended up getting the cam spray. Seems to me that when people say "foam canon" they are referring to this unit. The other unit seems just as good. With shipping, it's only about $70 or 10 less, but it doesn't have an adjustment knob like the cam spray.

If anyone orders this unit make sure you get the 527100, not the Gilmore unit they are replacing it with.

Well done. You'll love the camspray. It's worth the extra $$. Post a review once you get it going.

Au contraire, the second model also has an adjustment dial.

Have you measured the capacity of the powerwasherparts one? Is it 32 oz? It seems like 32 to but I havent had a chance to check since I have no empty 32 oz bottles.

do you mean pressureparts? They are both 32oz I am sure.

The none camspary (cheaper one) has measurements on the side of the bottle and the top says 1000ml which equals 33oz...So that one I am sure!!!

Thanks, I actually have that one also, I just didn't notice that on the bottle. But if that's the case it seems to be the better value for sure then because I know the camsprays come with a small bottle.

Actually, the bottle that comes with the Camspray isn't 32 oz, it's smaller.(Maybe half the size?) Unless you're really quick, the bottle is too small to hold enough shampoo to foam a car. You can easily attach a 32 oz bottle and buy a longer pickup tube from Home Depot though.

Gary,

I don't have both but I have the less expensive one since the other one was unavailable at the time and I'm very happy with it. It's also the better buy since it comes with the larger 32 oz bottle right out of the box. Either way which ever one you go with will be fine, but the Cam Spray will need a bigger bottle as I even go through my 32 oz. bottle fairly quickly.

Pat

well, it looks like everypressure washer or its dealer may be having a tough time getting these units (at least it seems that way). I got mine, but it was used! You can see tape gunk in the threaded inlet. I opened up the intake tube was wet with suds still inside. I paid for a new one. I wonder what I can do about this w/o losing on the shipping...

I have yet to try it out (I got it today)...

Does anybody know where to get a spare bottle for the pressureparts model? Or are there larger tanks out there?

My Camspray looked like it was "Factory tested" with some pipe dope on the
threads.

The tank thread is common for 32oz spray bottles, try a hardware store. Get a longer feed tube while you are there.

Hmm... did you try returning it? Should I keep mine?

Keep it. I think the Camspray gets dropped ship direct from Camspray.
They probably do test them. It's just a little pipe dope on the fitting.

I got my 2nd one from camspray and it's the same deal: pipe dope on the threads with suds in the tube.
