    Requires a minimum of 1500 PSI and 2 GPM•Maximum of 5000 PSI and 5.2 GPM


    I have personally used my mtm on a 1700psi and 1.5 gpm unit as I already said so this says 2 gpm minimum and im sure it just produces there satisfactory level of foam at 2gpm I had no issues with 1700psi and 1.5gpm...

    Re: Ok... Foam CANNONS, GPM or PSI ? for thicker foam

    I have the electric Karcher (Model K5.740) and the AG cannon. It is rated at 2000 PSI and 1.4 gpm and I have enough suds to make a show (using Mr. Pink). I also use it with Dawn to strip LSP and even with Dawn I am producing a nice enough sud for dwell time.

    Happy as a lark

    don't get the AG one, the MTM one does the same at the fraction of the price. And MTM will fit on Karcher.

    AG one with a coupon + 20% and free shipping including the Karcher connector...... hmmmmm it was cheaper than the MTM hydro at the time.

    I am sure we will see a nice discount for Easter

    Re: Ok... Foam CANNONS, GPM or PSI ? for thicker foam

    I just got all the stuff I needed to make my foam cannon work.

    I have the:
    AR Blue Clean AR383 1,900 PSI 1.5 gpm
    Briggs and Stratton 1/4 x 25' Hose
    Briggs and Stratton Gun
    MTM Foam Cannon
    Powerwasher 80006 Quick Connect Kit
    ^^^ Bought Online

    Powerwasher 80006 Quick Connect Kit
    1/4" Quick Connect tips set from Home Depot
    Quick Connect Extension Wand
    ^^^ Bought local
    You need all of this in order to make the AR Blue Clean work because of the hose and adapters that it comes with. Sure I could have paid $100 more and gotten a gas model but I have very little noise, no gas, no oil, no exhaust, and it stays ready to be used.

    It all works great for its use. The extension wand makes it a bit of a pain since its so long but it works. I need to find an adapter or something to make it work without the wand. Its not super thick foam but I like it. I also don't have any basis of comparison so it seems to be good.

    Soap used in this picture is Chemical Guys Honeydew.

    Karcher K 2.60 ($130 @ Walmart) 1600psi 1.25gpm * MTM Hydro







    Some run off from Bilt Hamber Snow Foam. It smells bad but cleans good













    The last one is real snow. Just making sure your paying attention. I have an inexpensive low output pressure washer and it works pretty good.
