Just picked up a Karcher 1800psi electric PW. What is the best option for a foam cannon/cam spray?

What attachments do I need as I see you cannot remove the wand from the hose?

If you do not mind, could I get a parts list rundown as I have searched and it does not seem to be a simple PNP process.

Appreciate the help,

A

Here's the Foamer:
Cam Spray 527100 - Foamer Attachment (http://www.everypressurewasher.com/Cam-Spray-527100-CAM1243.html)

Here's the bayonet and adapter:
Karcher Adapter A (http://www.pressureparts.com/Pressure-Part-4762061.aspx)
Coupler, Twist 22mm x 22mm (http://www.pressureparts.com/Pressure-Part-331212.aspx)

Karcher make one that performs about like the Gilmour does on the hose. It's only $20, but it's nothing like the the CamSpray. I have the Gilmour, the Karcher, and the CamSpray. I would advise not trying to save a few bucks and just get the setup above.

i have to agree with integrity.....the Cam Spray Rocks.......i have the Gilmour and the cam spray and the Cam spray blows the gilli out of the water...easy to use, great foam.....

So apparently I am riding the short bus today.

You need all three pieces and this hooks up on the end of your Karcher pressure washer?

any chance to see a demo video how this cam spray works?

The nozzle adjusts the fan pattern width by twisting, the round dial on the side regulates the amount of soap and therefore thickness. Pretty straightforward. If you meant how it works as in 'looks,' here are some videos.

I have a different electric pressure a 1300 psi, what would I need to hook a foam cannon up to it?:righton:

Post up a pic of the wand or just call one of the pressure washer places and tell 'em what you're trying to do.
