Hey all,

I know I've seen topics that address the issue I'm having but can't find them. On my foam cannon, for the last two washes, it hasn't been operating well. I have changed nothing in my products or process, but rather than laying out a solid stream of foam it just seems to glob out a lazy stream of sudsy water. I tried messing with the nozzle and the valve but nothing corrects the issue.

I somehow remember there being a filter or something that needs to get replaced but have lost my paperwork. Anyone able to provide some assistance?
Thanks!

Thanks - I knew it was user error. Looks like a bit of work... For those who have done this how long does it usually take? 30 min or so?

Ok - so I am stuck again. I bought the replacement filters, followed the first few steps for removing the adjustment head, but I can't for the life of me unscrew the housing to reveal the filter. I see in the write up he is able to do it with his hands - I have two wrenches torquing on it with all I got and can't get it to open. And while I'm not a body builder, I'm neither old, out of shape nor a small guy.

For those who have done this, how difficult has it been in your experience to unscrew the housing?

Thanks, that does help... Let's me know something is VERY wrong with mine. With two wrenches, one on the same section he attached and another on the main body, twisting with all I have, the front won't budge.

Maybe you could try to heat the threads up a little with a lighter .. Might help

Tried that - tried WD-40 around the break point - tried different types of wrenches and a vice. Really frustrated. Going to try reaching out to AGO to see if they have heard of this before. I mean I bought it only a year ago...

Thanks to all for the help
