Foam Cannon/ Foam Lance Groupbuy

usdm

I'll figure it out....
I am gauging interest in doing a groupbuy for the foam cannon/ foam lance. This unit is the same unit as seen here:



http://autopia.org/forum/car-detailing/90131-foam-guns-waaaaay-too-much-fun.html?highlight=foam



as well as here:



http://autopia.org/forum/detailing-product-discussion/93000-foam-cannon-vs-foam-gun-review-everything-foam-thread.html?highlight=foam



The particular unit i am looking to do the group buy for works with the Karcher pressure washers with the Bayonet style attachments. If you have an electric Karcher pressure washer, you already or should already have this bayonet system already set up on your machine. This means you dont have to do any modifications, replacec your PW gun or hoses. Just attach the foam cannon and you're set.



Now, there is another unit flaoting around, but it is a lil more expensive; primarily because it is a brass unit. This is also available, but not needed if you are running a home graded PW.



Pricing: 66.00 for five orders. Pricing does not include shipping



Remember, this is for the unit shown in the links above, not for the brass unit.



Let me know if you are interested so we can get the ball rolling.
 
After reading your options, I REALLY only want one if It can be attached to my HD powerwasher, not the homebased units that are electric. The Cannon talked about by SuperBee364 in foam guns are waaay Fun, is better suited for gas powered PW.



So if your putting together a group buy on that unit, then I'm in...........so please post a link or photo of the exact unit your getting for 66$.



Cheers,

When will these be purchased, and when will/how will payment be placed. Any idea what shipping on these units will be? I am considering it.



Greg



I'd like to make the purchase as soon as possible. I cant really give a shipping price just yet since shipping cost varies.

I would be interested as well. Will these be shipped directly to the buyers, or will it be shipped by you?



The units are coming from the UK, so to avoid any problems, they come to me, and then I ship them out.

This is the CamSpray unit that SuperBee has:

As I can see, the only real difference is the adapter/ tube section section. I will check to see if I can get the unit without tube/ adapter, but I would hazrad a guess that this section could be simply unscrewed, and then replaced with the adapter shown in the CamSpray.



I'll try to have more info for you guys; have to get ready for the "day job".
 
Hey guys, thanks for the positive feedback. I will try to have more details for you when i get home from work today. Heading out in a few.
 
I do have the unit and it works well, but if you read the thread there is a big draw back. The soap container is too small, you will drain it in under a minute. The video you see, he has converted it to a 32 oz container. But the ratio is correct 1 oz of soap to 10 oz water. Nice foam using Ziano, Adams and even Mothers soap.

I think it is rated up to 2400 psi, but you may have to double check on that.

Which of the 2?:think:



He is probably refering to the first one. But as Ive mentioned, there appears to be

no real differencee in the units save that one is set up for Karcher pressure washers

w/ the bayonet attachment, while the other is set up for any PWs with female gun

connection.



As for the issue with the bottle, that's just what it comes with. Now, you can get a

larger size bottle to work with the unit, but it will affect the shipping cost big time.

Best thing to do in that situation is simply by a larger size bottle, and replace the

siphon tube with a longer tube. These can be had at hardware, or even pet stores

that deal with fishtanks and such.



I am still trying to hammer some things, so please bear with me on this. But in

the meantime, I need to see how many guys need a foamer to work with their

Karchers. Remember, while this foamer will work with most other PW guns,

this is geared towards the folks that have the Karcher PW's with the bayonet-

style attachments.




5 units are all we need to get the ball rolling guys...............

I'm 99% sure you're correct about this.

That is correct, but there are two different work arounds for that problem. You can replace the bottle and pickup tube with larger ones, OR, you can just put straight, undiluted soap in the bottle. Then, you use the dial on the side to adjust the soap/water ratio to get just the right amount of foam. If you use straight soap ( i still don't like to use straight soap, cause I need an exact ratio with the soap I use or it will remove LSP), you'll get a bunch of cars washed before the container is empty. Remember that you must use a completely LSP friendly soap that won't remove any LSP regardless of the dilution ratio if you choose to go with the straight soap work around.

Yeah this is definitely a trial and error type thing. One of the big reasons I like the

Gilmour shower foam guns is the ability to get a bit more specific dilution ratios. But

I dont think it will be a big deal to work out something with these units.
