    Is there a foam cannon for MY pressure washer?

    Hey everyone, I realize no links are to be posted on AG, so I'll describe my pressure washer. The make is Simoniz and it's the s1600 pressure washer. It already come's standard attached with a foam gun (i.e. low pressure soap distributing weapon), but a foam lance produces that white foamy coating that I want.

    My pressure washer has a hose to a gun, the gun itself has two interchangeable wands and they are more of a push and lock variety than the screw into the gun variety.

    Is there a way or a compatible foam lance out there?

    Sorry but it seems you'll have to replace the gun on your pressure washer in order to use a foam cannon.
    You like Nattys, I like Souveran, and Justin is DP MaxWax. And you know what, its alright !!

    Disclaimer - YOU NEED TO VERIFY THAT THIS WILL WORK WITH YOUR PRESSURE WASHER!!!

    "Karcher Style" bayonett to 22 male adapter
    PressureParts.com Offers ::Karcher Adapter A

    Double female 22mm adapter
    PressureParts.com Offers ::Coupler, Twist 22mm x 22mm

    This SHOULD work for pressure wash guns with the Karcher style attachment end. Havent done it myself, I read all of this on another forum. This will adapt it to use any standard 22mm pressure washer attachment, like the foam cannons uses, as well as other standard lances.

    Your other option is to buy a new gun and/or hose too.

    And did I read right, you have a "simoniz" pressure washer? Simoniz like the old school gimicky car wax?

    You can buy a wide assortment of pressure washer couplers at Lowes.

    Edit: I noticed that you are from Toronto after I posted. Don't know if you have Lowes stores or not.

    not a lowes, but a "Canadian Tire" which is essentially the same thing, I'll see if they have accessories as they do carry the simioniz pressure washer.

    Is there a link for a compatible foam cannon or lance that works with those connectors?
