I cut the top off of a water bottle and just hold it onto the foam cannon fill tank. Easy and free! Ish

My cheapo foam cannon with Carpro Reset makes a pretty nice foam with my gas PW. Top valve all the way closed. As far as I can tell it's identical to the one Kirk posted above.

For the electronic PW, try to get a 1.1mm orifice insert.

Everything I have read and seen it will produce a shaving cream thick foam on 2000PSI electric PWs.

Going to try mine this weekend with a 3100PSI gas PW. Should be interesting.

Great foam etc.
What I love is the wide open mouth when filling.
If you think the "can" is too big, you can use the plastic bottle from the orange HDX spray bottle, it fits!!!

When my CG canon breaks, I want this one for the reason it stands up when empty. I’ve broke the neck on my bottle once so far in three years.

So I'll be the one to ask. Is anyone using a foam gun with a $100-200 range electric pressure washer?

[DougCBJ]

heres a question do you put the soap in first or water first? I try to put the soap in first, but it just becomes a foaming mess when trying to fill it up, any trick to get that to not happen?

Yes actually, i just got this one for $109 on amazon or as low as $85 without the hose reel parts, been working like a dream and comes with the foam gun attachment. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have used a foam canon with Ryobi electric pressure washer and it worked fine.

I fill my canon bottle to about 80% full first with hottest water I can get from kitchen sink. Then add soap 3-5oz, screw on top, and rinse off bottle of any soap spillage so it’s not slippery. Slowly rotate back and forth to mix but don’t shake.

Been there, done that. I have been premixing it in an old larger laundry detergent bottle. I drew a line with a sharpie for the water level and a total fill line to top it off with soap.

I have a cheap electric greenworks brand from Lowes. I use it all the time.

I put the soap in first then tilt the bottle and fill slowly with hot water.

Watch out for some of those Electric PW's. They don't have the common quick change connector on the end of them that every soap cannon pretty much uses. Just something to watch out for..

Agreed. My electric Karcher doesn't have the standard connection that most wands have. I think there's an adapter available.

A trick I saw on a YouTube video for filling the soap bottle was to pour the soap in first, then hold the bottle in the wash bucket under water to let the water slowly fill the bottle. It seems like a good idea and easier than holding it under running water.
