I got it about 1/2 price of what I paid for mine that does have the slider bar, and the instruction booklet inside was very brown and curled (indicating it sat on a shelf for years).

    Still serves the same purpose, just gotta manage the ratio via the concentrate in the canister.

    Must have been really old, I bought a Simple Green version for my quick lube about 12 years ago and it had the slide.

    Do the Karcher's attach to the Cam Sprayer?

    Re: suggest me a good foam gun

    Here's the Foamer:
    Cam Spray 527100 - Foamer Attachment

    Here's the bayonet and adapter:
    Karcher Adapter A
    Coupler, Twist 22mm x 22mm

    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 haven't read all the posts in this thread, mainly the original post. But I would just like to say that even the Wolfgang Foam Gun with a foamy car wash soap (such as DP Xtreme Foam Formula) hooked up to a regular garden hose will turn your car into a snowball of foam !!!

    So if someone where to get the Karcher Adapter A (2nd link) and the Coupler, Twist 22mm X 22mm (3rd link), the Cam Spray (1st link) would work with this Karcher Pressure Washer K rcher at Lowe's: 1500 PSI Electric Pressure Washer

    Is 1500 psi at 1.3 gallons per minute enough pressure and water to make effective foam?

    One of my biggest concerns in buying a pressure washer is that it will not be compatible with a Cam Sprayer. I really like this Troy Bilt pressure washer but I have no idea if it will fit the cam sprayer.

    Call the guys at pressureparts.com and tell them you need to connect a 22mm, male threaded tool to a TroyBuilt and see if they have one. The CamSpray comes with a quick connect coupler that may be the same size as the quick connect for th interchangeable tips. If so, you don't need any adapter.Even if you had to buy a new wand, there IS a way to connect it. I had already done the research on the Karcher because that's what i have. You could search the forum and see if anyone has already done a TroyBuilt.
