    People here in So. Oregon are EXTREMELY ECO-Friendly. We do a lot of Mobile Detailing and people love the fact we can safely wash their car with about 16 ounces of water or so. I would love to use the "Cannon", but in the neighborhoods I go into, I'd probably be putting my life on the line...

    Guys,

    To help everyone better understand my explanation on how the Home Depot foamer works I took some photos of mine with a few close up...

    Male connector





    Quick Connector to pressure washer

    Hopefully this clears up any confusion.

    Thanks!

    It's the standard stainless steel tube that comes with most pressure washers. I cut it down about a year ago to make getting into those tight spots allot easier. The ends are 1/4 NPT threads so it was a matter of cutting and rethreading then screw on the quick connect.

    I just grabbed everything out of the shop to photo and post it here.

    This the G-Force Foam Blaster in use. I'm planning on buy it soon. Since I have an electric pressure washer I also have to pick up the wand adapters from them too. Power Care Pressure Washer Wand with Adaptors Set - AP31021 at The Home Depot

    Oh OK... it's nice to know that there is something already made, in place of the custom Metal Tube.

    Now I just to need to find out if Canadian Home Depot's sell that stuff up here.

    French Labelling issues could be a problem for us.

    I had a guy on another forum ask if someone in the U.S. can get one for him because of the French labeling. I am headed to Home Depot tomorrow or the next day to grab a few if they have them in stock so I can send him one to Quebec. Even if they arent in stock I will order a few. I would be more than happy to ship one to you at cost if you would like. They are only like $20.00 U.S.

    My Mom and Dad are going to Arizona for 2 Months. If I can't find one here, I'll get them to bring one back for me.

    Thanks for the offer.
