Looks pretty good, did you shake (swirl) it too? Ours has a small hole underneath the regulator (that allows air in to pressurize) that leaks if your shake it or turn it on its side. and I swirl it around to avoid the mixture getting all over the place....

Yeah, I found out about that the hard way, shook it and spilled a little but I had my 8 year old out helping me so I was already soaking wet from him taking a few blasts at me with the hose...a little more dripping soap wasn't a big deal. Besides, I was too happy about the fact that my rigged coupler worked to worry about that yet. It was my first outing with the cannon. My wife was out there with a skeptical look on her face but I had her with camera in hand just in case it worked, which it did.

Cost about $10 which is the same price as the correct part from pressureparts.com but without the wait. Admittedly, it's a bit longer and heavier as a result but the foam results were great. Here's some pics of my modified foam cannon and the result.

Hey, do you think I can get the foam canon to work on my off brand electric power washer?

I can't say for sure. That almost looks like a connector similar to the one on my electric Karcher power washer but it could be different. Keep in mind, I had to buy an adaptor made for the Karcher that has 22mm threaded end. To that, I attached a coupler. If I had bought the right one the coupler would couple on the other end to the foam cannon I bought. However, the part number another poster gave out here does not work with the brand of foam cannon I bought, which is the same brand as the OP I believe.

Pressureparts had everything I needed to make it work but because I bought the wrong coupler (and didn't want to wait another five days for the correct one to come in), I headed to the home suppl stores and made it fit.

The brand of foam cannon I have has a threaded 1/4" female opening. My Karcher adapter is 22mm so I needed a 22mm to 1/4" coupler (which pressureparts does have).

I would suggest calling pressure parts and ask if anyone knows the brand of your pressure washer, and if they have adaptors to make it work. Good luck.

Thanks, I guess I'll just order it and worry about it later. The worst case scenario is that I buy another hose/gun unit. Or worse than that, a whole new power washer .

This guy bought a camspray and got a gilmore unit:

Are they one and the same?

damn so I need one of those pressure machines? This doesn't hook up to a regular gardening hose?

[nmcampbell]

Campsray and Gilmour are not even close. I have a Gilmour Foamaster and it blows (and not in the good way). Campsray is more akin to the one I posted up in my pics but I think the opening and tank are both bigger on the Campsray than on the one I purchased which, again, I believe is the same as the OP's.

Ok, i figured it out. I ended up buying the camspray unit and an adapter for my electric power washer.

Off topic. . . but does anybody use the Craftsman 1800 PSI, 1.6 GPM Electric Pressure Washer ??

ONESHARE325, how do you like that Karcher pressure washer? looks like the 3050 g model with 3000 psi. Costco.com has it for 440 delivered. I need one to wash vinyl house siding, the north side gets green every so often. Is it strong enough to wash the 2nd story of a house from the ground?

I would assume you are happy with it for washing the car. Can you dial down the pressure?, 3000psi seems like it would strip the paint of a car.

Thanks

Works Great!! You manage the pressure by controlling the width of the stream with different tips. I only use it to rinse off my customers cars before full details and for the foam cannon. I Think I use the 40 Degree tip (you will see when you get it), and is not that extreme!

For my but regular washes (my car or customers) I generally just use a regular hose attachment after foaming! Hope that helps!!
