Putting snow foam "in" a pressure washer typically involves using a special attachment called a snow foam gun or lance, which connects to your pressure washer. You prepare the foam solution in the gun's bottle, not directly in the pressure washer's main water inlet or detergent tank (unless your pressure washer specifically has a designated foam tank and instructions for it).
Here’s how to put snow foam in and use it with a pressure washer, based on the common method:
Steps for Using Snow Foam with a Pressure Washer
Using a snow foam gun attached to your pressure washer is a popular way to pre-wash your vehicle, helping to lift dirt and grime before contact washing.
Here are the key steps:
- Prepare the Snow Foam Solution:
- Locate the supply bottle that comes with your snow foam gun.
- Mix 90 ml to 180 ml of our Snow Foam concentrate into this bottle. The exact amount of water to add will depend on your specific foam gun and desired foam thickness, but you typically fill the rest of the bottle with water.
- Shake the bottle to mix thoroughly. This ensures the concentrate is well dispersed in the water.
- Prepare Your Vehicle:
- Ensure the surface of your vehicle is dry. Applying foam to a dry surface allows it to cling better and work effectively.
- Attach and Apply:
- Securely attach the now-filled foam gun supply bottle to the foam gun/lance.
- Attach the entire foam gun assembly to your pressure washer lance or handle.
- Start applying the foam to your vehicle. Keeping the tip about one yard away from the surface, begin foaming at the roof, and work top to bottom. This method allows the foam to dwell and run down, maximizing contact time on dirtiest areas.
By following these steps, you effectively "put" the snow foam solution into the delivery system (the foam gun bottle) which then uses your pressure washer's power to generate and apply the thick foam onto your vehicle.
