    Pressure Washer for foam cannons

    Hi I am looking at a pressure washer for a foam cannon.

    Please can someone help me and have a look at these links.

    This is my first Pressure Washer.
    Basically only used for the car washing with Foam Cannon, at this stage.

    Karcher K2 Karcher K2 Plus Water Blaster - Bunnings New Zealand
    Karcher K2 https://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/karch...40psi/p/386911
    Karcher K3 https://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/karch...00psi/p/387173

    My thoughts is the K3 I like the hose wrapped up and looked tidy, don't really want anything to be unattached when in storage.

    Which one would be the best performance for a foam cannon.

    Thanks in advance

    I can't give you any info for a Kracher, but I have a Sun Joe SPX3000. Not sure if they have Sun Joe down there, but I have been happy with it for the price. A gas is going to naturally give you better/more foam, but it does a good job...

    I used a Karcher K2 for a number of years, it did everything I asked of it and produced good quality foam.

    From your list, I would go for the K3 for the added tidiness and it will be fine with a foam cannon.

    Agree....plus the hoses on the first two are really short (20 ft).....the hose on the third one is around 33 feet

    In Alaska with my super cold well water the stock Kaercher hoses were incredibly stiff as well and kinked horribly

    What part of Alaska? I went to middle school in Nome (3 years) and high school in Fairbanks (3 years). Dad was in the US Army.

    They wouldn’t cancel school in Fairbanks until it got past -55 F.

    Chugiak, just north of Anchorage

    We also lived out in Bethel for 8 years before that

    I worked at the elementary school and we had the same policy

    Kids played outside until it hit 20 below and school canceled when windchill hit 60 below

    My daughter lives in Anchorage and we sold our house in Chugiak to one of our sons and the other lives just north in Wasilla

    We are trying to decide what we want to do about another place up there

    Build or buy or condo or ???

    The market is insane there right now so we are just kind of in a holding pattern

    We head up there March 30th for 2 months and will see what things are like
