Thanks.. I would love to see a picture of your setup if you have the time to take some pics and upload it . I decided to put the quick disconnects at the pw. I could not find any fittings at the connector to the gun that came with the electric pw. Instead of wasting time like I usually do, I ended up just putting the quick disconnects as mentioned.

I have the camspray as well and I have husky electric PW (1800psi)
Well the first picture, I also have the gun and I have two lances (red circle) that goes into the gun (arrow pointing).

On second picture, how did you connect the camspray to the gun?
My camspray came with one of these attached to the camspray

Thanks!

I have two guns. I bought a hose from Lowes for $17 for electric powerwashers. I then bought a gun for a gas powerwasher for $13. This new gun has a twist connector for a 22mm male fitting. The cam spray comes with a 22mm male fitting to a 1/4inch male end that fits into the camspray. Perfect!

Total cost to adapt the foamer to my electric power washer is:

17 - 25ft hose
13 - gun for gas pw
12 - quick disconnects
----------------------
42

I also spent another $30-40 on a wasted experiment trying to get it working with those fast twist connectors.

The only inconvenience with the current setup is that I power wash with the electric hose/handle combo, then have to switch to the hose/handle combo with the camspray. You have to turn off the water at the faucet and the power to the pw (very important). Now I can do it without turning off the water at the faucet. I'm trying to devise a new way of doing this without having to swap the hoses/guns.

I saw a y fitting for a faucet and thought about just not power washing and just using the foamer AND rising with just a garden hose, but the y fitting is so restrictive because of the ball valve that was not an option as it will restrict water going into the pw.

Now, if I can only find a y fitting that I can put at the output of the pw, that would solve this problem of swapping between hoses. Does something like that exist?

My camspray came with two fittings.
1. 22mm male to 1/4 in male fitting
2. 1/4in male fitting to quick disconnect fitting


From the pic below:
1. camspray
2. fitting from camspray (22mm male to 1/4 in male fitting)
3. new gun for gas power pw (the gun comes with that twist connector - nice)

I got http://www.pressureparts.com/Coupler...t-331308X.aspx attached to the camspray and I also bought http://www.pressureparts.com/Pressure-Part-116003.aspx ... I guess that hose is useless now

When I connect camspray + hose + PW, water drips at the nozzle...like it's losing pressure somewhere.
Such PITA

Personally I don't see the big deal with foam guns.......I'm a huge detailing freak and while I think it looks kind of cool to have all that foam it doesn't do anything different than a high quality car soap in a bucket. No Offense to foam lovers, just don't think they are worth it/do anything special

i agree you can get almost the same level of 'marring avoidance' using a $35 gilmour this way coupled w/ a pre-soak and two bucket wash:



w/ that said, if i already had a PW i'd probably spend the extra money and get a foam cannon just for the novelty of it.

You can do that with a regular garden hose and sponge! Once you foam with the canon, you'll realize it's faster and easier to get the car clean using that method. Your way will work too (no doubt).

Gary,

Can you list the part numbers for the gun & hose you got at Lowes? I think this is the best/quick option for me.

Thanks!

I just threw away the packaging for the hose.... but I just found the receipt:

229259 25' Thermal plastic hose $16.97
210556 3/8 QD plug x male metric $3.96 (need two - one for each hose)
209170 3/8 QD socket x female metric $7.96 (this goes to the electric pw)

I bought the gun from some lady on ebay. It was 4.99 + $8 shipping... great deal!

i just got a new gun and hose for my karcher 1800psi from lowe's..the cam spray fit right on..any leaking from the brass fittings was taken care of with some ptfe tape..

1 lowes gun/tips and lance

2 50ft hose from lowe's

3 camspray foamer from everypressurewasher

that's it...no quick connects though..maybe i should look at the ones that came with the gun..but a 10 second twist is fine to deal with!!! i will probably upgrade to quick connects though.

also for 75 usd..don't you think the cam spray could be made a little better?
