Some Sick Foam

Just got done trying out this Pressure Washer foam gun.
http://www.jackssmallengines.com/barens_nozzle_foam.cfm

FOAM CANNON WITH BOTTLE
Dispense thick clinging foam to any surface with this attachment. Great dispenser for areas such as meat packing plants that need foam to cut animal grease from walls, floors, or meat cutting boards. Fill container with your foaming detergent, and meter quantity to dispense. Connect to the trigger gun of your pressure washer and clean away!
0 to 15% injection rate
Maximum Flow: 6.6 GPM
Maximum pressure: 2845 PSI
Maximum Temperature: 176 degrees F.
5.5 stainless steel nozzle
Inlet: 1/4" MPT
Repair parts are not available for this foamer
Part# 1654
Our Price: $68.90
Qty: 12345

Made some real nice foam with NXT.
I had to rig a soap bottle on it because they shiped it without the bottle.....I'll post some foam pics this weekend, or later in the week if I do the wife's car.

Pics:
I had the gun set to the min. mix ratio and used Z-7 (not the best for suds)....it will make some very heavy foam with NXT set at 15%.

Looks good but if they expect you run a line to a bottle wouldn't that make it awkward? You'd have to lug the jug of chemical with you from their description. The model you bought shows it with a bottle and says it comes with it. Did they forget to ship yours?

Ah, that explains it! Good job MacGyver, oops I mean RET! I wonder if I can get something like that up here. It sure worked well when you foamed your truck. Any further observations using it?

If I did that, my neighbors would really think I went off the deep end!

Monster wash! One nice frosted truck!

If you look at the web page, they charge you more for the one without the bottle, so it looks to me like they got something reversed in their web store, and even though you thought you were ordering the one with the bottle, they thought the opposite...
