New Foam Cannon Setup?

adrock · 05-21-2008, 05:40 PM

I know it's been discussed a lot in this forum, and that most of you are running custom setups (multiple adapters, etc). But I thought since I am basically starting from scratch on my setup there might be a pressure sprayer foam cannon without setup that would work without having to purchase a bunch of adapters to make it work.

Does such a product exist or do I just have to sort of piece it together.

Update: I think I found a pretty easy solution. See Post Below.

not sure if there is a true plug-and-play solution, but you might want to check this link:

I just found this one Karcher's web site it plugs in to any of their existing sprayers up to 2300 PSI. Ordered it for $20 Bones!

Hope this helps some one else who is looking for an easy solution!

Detergent Foamer Attachment
Ideal for applications which require a thick foam. Simply fill the resevoir cup with liquid pressure washer detergent to generate a foam spray. Connects directly to the trigger gun. Fits most Karcher pressure washers up to 2300 PSI.

People on the detailingbliss website and other websites have said that Karcher proprietary set up blows (and not in a good way). If you have a Karcher PW, it can be modified by putting on a new hose and trigger/gun which then should couple with either of the populer foam cannons. I bought a a Karcher PW from Big Lots and then bought the hose and trigger/gun set up per that link on detailingbliss.com. It works great and is much better than the stock hose and gun which came with the Karcher.

+1. I did the same thing with my Karcher PW. It works very well now.

This video doesn't look bad at all. For 20 bucks, its a pretty nice solution.

see the problem is wit that solution yeah for 20 bucks it's good..but no thick foam that sticks..and that's the problem you can't let that sit for 5 mins it will start to dry in 1 min..in some place in 10 secs..with the cannon it does cling even with poor soap selections i have seen it cling pretty good through vids. i wish they sold them at a store so i could try one tomorrow..guess i'll have to wait till next week
