- So I finally figured out how to get the foam considerably thicker after completely ruining my original MJJC foam cannon I bought off Craigslist. The one word to the problem?
Orifice!!!
Almost all foam cannon you buy online, regardless of price, comes with a standard orifice bore size. They are 1.25mm and sometimes, 1.5mm. They are made specifically for high GPM pressure washers you'd normally see in gas pressure washers.
The solution? Why get a super expensive foam cannon when you can GET A ORIFICE WITH A SMALLER BORE!!!
I decided to buy a MJJC orifice from the website directly (mjjcshop.com/). For my particular foam cannon (MATCC from Amazon), it fit directly. Michael and Xiang were both very patient with me and met all my requests.
Total project: $20.00 for the foam cannon, another $20 for the orifice (expedited shipping). - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Worth noting that not all electric power washers are the same. I have the 3000 PSI Greenworks washer from Costco and 1.1mm orifice actually made things worse in the Adam's Premium foam cannon. MJJC recommends 1.35mm orifice for 3000 PSI pressure washers, so I got one, but haven't had chance to try it out since it's cold and rainy in Portland area.
Thank you for doing the research and sharing your results
He did no research. You are easily impressed. lol
Great video. I’ll be changing mine out immediately. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much, for the help 😊🤙🏾. IT WORKS, SO MUCH FOAM
Jakobe Fiame thanks for your feedback! I'm glad this video is doing a lot of good for many folks who aren't interested in a gas washer, just like you and myself. If possible, can you upload a sample? I'm actually interested in the potential of the orifice at a low pressure.
I just started looking into foam cannons and pressure washers, and was almost convinced I had to go high dollar, gas, and name brand to get the results I wanted for thick foam. Thank you for doing the research and sharing your results with us. I can’t wait to get my setup.
Ryan Davis I was not ready for a gas pressure washer and a very expensive foam cannon so I did just this. Glad people were benefiting from my trial and errors, along with the results.
I work closely with some of the top detailers in my country. The commercial grade pressure washers they use at their shop is far more powerful, much higher gpm ratings than my shitty Simoniz 2000psi electric pressure washer which I just upgraded from a 1600psi unit. Even when I use the the stronger 25 degree nozzle, all the way up close to the paint surface, it is still not powerful enough to tackle dirt and grim buildups from winter driving. Result in scratching the surface when applying soap on the paint with wash mitten. After comparing to the ones they use at detailing shops, I’ve decided to get myself a gas powered washer.
fijod a lot of folks aren't too excited about going the gas route primarily because of price and/or noise levels. I honestly can't stand the noise gas produces. However, I've seen foam cannons foam very thick on higher psi/GPM gas powered pressure washers. We're talking the consistency of battered egg whites--thick and gooey.
Zeron Saetern , thanks for the great video! I just ordered the MATCC foam canon you recommended for my SunJoe SPX 4000. My concern is that I noticed on the website for the orifice you used, they are saying to only use the 1.1mm orifice if your pressure washer is under 180 Bar which is like 1600psi, otherwise use the 125mm orifice or the PW will pulsate in and out which seems like it would cause backflow and be bad for the engine. Have you experienced this at all or tried the 125mm one from MJJC? Also, is there any cheaper soap that foams up nice and thick like that Honeydew before I order? I'd appreciate your advice man, your setup looks awesome! Hope this makes sense...
@@rsmithers7878 180bar is 2600 psi
To measure the 1.1 hole you can use the other side of the vernier caliper 😉
Came here to point that out as well ;)
@@yt7037 great minds think alike!!
I found the 1.1 orifice for $4.99 no shipping cost.
Wonder what's happening after 11 hours of inaccurate measuring.
Yanis Kyr how so?
Those tiny hooks on the top of your caliper are there for a reason! You can measure (precisely) the diameter of holes!
Daniel M. That doesn't fit the hole for 1mm. This particular micrometer cannot fit through the broached surface anyways. The other end where the hole is larger is bored with a counter sink so it flares outward. I cannot use the smaller hook to measure the ID of the bore on either side for that particular reason.
Zeron Saetern hey man I just purchased a mjjc foam cannon and I have the same sunjoe as you will i get that same foam even though I didn't get your foam cannon?
Joshua Franzke you should get similar results assuming the shampoo is the same. Remember, mjjc comes with two different size orifice. Make sure to have the right one on.
Thanks brother I was looking for the way to change the orifice.
@Zeron bro thank you!!!! This is exactly what I need!!! I've been searching for power washer upgrades and all trying to figure out wtf I was doing wrong!
Abijah Gribble glad I was of help. Keep in mind that GPM is more important than PSI for producing more foam.
You're right bro, and right now I've got a ryobi 2000psi 1.2gpm pressure washer and I'm thinking of upgrading the unit for better results, would you recommend your sunjoe unit? I was looking at the spx3001 model and I'm comparing other models as we speak, even looking at upgrading the gun to a MTM unit so I can maximize my washing experience, ANY input is highly appreciated my dude 👌
Abijah Gribble I've never bought a MTM foam cannon. If you are, get the 1.1mm orifice or you can buy their orifice separately if you already have one. If it were me, I'd buy the orifice from MTM or mjjc first and try it out before I actually submit to a high price foam cannon.
The sunjoe have a 1.76 GPM on all the spx3000/3001 or spx4000. I like my current one and is built like a tank. If I were to get one, I'd get the one with a hose reel for simplicity and space. The 3000 have very weak side arms for holding up the spray wand and accessories. They're currently the highest GPM at the price range.
Others have bought the same setup I have and got the same results. My only complaint is the wand being too heavy and long (personal preference).
Zeron Saetern for sure bro I will look into that, I have ordered 2 diff 1.1 orifices from 2 diff websites 1 from the link you posted and I will be installing and testing them on my chemical guys torq foam cannon, the orifice in mine looks identical to the one you pulled out and I will test to see if I see ANY improvements. I did look at the reviews for the sunjoe and there is ALOT of bad reviews like how they have their own unique hose adapters from what I've read so you can't go to home depot for adapters. And THE biggest complaint I seen was the inlet where the water hose goes into, it's flawed and apparently sunjoe knows it and will send you an adapter once you register the unit and contact them? Otherwise it leaks or sprays? Is that right?
Abijah Gribble sorry for the very late reply. SunJoe saw the flaw with that hose connector and they changed it over to a metal connector. When I bought the pressure washer, it had already came with the metal hose connector. It also have the gasket on the inside to minimize leakage from the hose.
where can i buy 1.1mm orifice nozzle for autobrite or i6/Sam's foam cannons?
Had that smaller one as an extra with my mjjc cannon. Manual stated it should only be fitted with washers 1700psi or less, mine is 2200psi, but the foam is about the same as yours in the beginning of the video. Maybe I should try and fit it and see what it does. I've noticed in detailing video's that these guys get very thick foam and still have some left in the bottle after foaming a normal to bigger car. My wife drives a small car, a Mazda 2 and the bottle is as good as empty when it's completely foamed. If i'm careful i'll just get by for my car that is normal sized.
Dude you are so helpful. Thank you
So_Heaven did you solved your foaming issues? I went through a few foam cannons before I finally found the solution
Zeron Saetern I ordered the orfice and just ordered an sun joe on sale. I had a gas pressure washer but I mean it’s just too damn loud. Pretty annoying to me and they’re pricy
So_Heaven I hope you didn't get the sun Joe just because I got one, hehe. I got the pressure washer primarily because it was the best value for the price. I honestly can't do gas because of the same reasons you're having.
Though, I wished I have access to a local machinist so I can have one orifice custom made with a bore of 1mm and 0.9mm just as a experiment.
Zeron Saetern what electric pressure washer do you recommend
So_Heaven I don't have any recommendations. I simply got the spx3000 just because it has the highest psi and GPM at a budget. If I could do it again, I'd keep what I have because I can't find a decent quality washer with any higher specs at the price.
I’m glad I came across this. Thanks to your video, I just ordered the matcc foam canon from amazon, and I’m going to do this. I don’t even have a pressure washer yet though lol. What pressure washer do you have?
rodney W that's a sunjoe spx3000.
Funny thing is that it works for someone else who bought the same setup and it works very well
I just watched the video again. I have no idea how I missed the part where you show and say what waher you have lol. But thanks for replying
Very concise and helpful video. But will a Greenworks 1600psi washer be enough for this setup? How many PSI’s is your pumping out? Thanks
stopaskingformyfullnamegoogle mine is a 2050psi with a 1.79gpm. this is currently the smallest orifice available on the market that'll accommodate low pressure and GPM pressure washer. I'm still trying to get a hold of a machinist to make a custom one for me.
Results look great. Do you use more soap with the new piece?
Nathan Campbell it's the same amount from the same bottle to do a direct comparison.
How can i measure the nozzle oriffice exactly?
where exactly did you get it? i couldnt find it on their website or anywhere else. thanks for sharing this too btw.
nitto1320i sorry I didn't specify the exact site.
Make sure it's the correct orifice size You're looking for.
mjjcshop.com/collections/snow-foam-lance-cannon/products/1-1mm-nozzle-screw-jet-for-snow-foam-lance
Nice find, how long is the shipping to your place in the states?
snoozetime621 I paid for express shipping and it took me a little under 1 week :)
I have a Greenworks 1700 PSI with a Trinova foam canon. Using Chemical Guys Maxi Suds II. Will the 1.1 change my thickness of soap?
RawGreySun I'm not sure if greenworks' pressure washer is adequate to produce thick foam. It has the required PSI but @ 1.2 GPM, it may not have enough flow rate to draw from the bottle as you'd like. There's another video of a guy who used a greenworks and a 1.1mm orifice but the results are still runny.
Sorry. I cannot say for sure if it'll produce thick foam with a lower GPM pressure washer.
Oo man I thanks for posting this. I thought only gas PW only get thick foam.
But I have a dilemma. I have the same sunjoe PW as you, 3001 to be exact with the reel and I just ordered the Dusichiin foam cannon from amazon.
I’ve read your other comments about the 1.1mm orifice fitting that foam cannon but I’m wondering is it worth getting? I like thick foam but I read you can damage the pressure washer. But I figured since some foam cannons come with 1.1mm can it really be that harmful. I know I’m not going to wash my car everyday with the PW and I like using the foam gun with the garden hose instead cause there’s less wires.
So basically will this new orifice be worth it if from time to time I use the pressure washer.
To be honest I had no idea about this slight modification, until last night and now I’m debating if I should pull the trigger or not.
Sorry for the lengthy comment, but thanks for the video it clarified a lot of things.
Zia Mahmood I haven't had any issues with pulsating from an overpressure going through the 1.1mm orifice. I had the deuschin foam cannon before I scraped it. It comes with a 1.5mm orifice meant for up to 3000psi. You can always switch orifice if you see it pulsate.
The main factor for thicker foam isn't PSI--it's GPM. Lower GPM pressure washers can barely get by with the 1.25mm orifice, as you can see in my comparison.
When your foam cannon comes in, try the setup and if it's not what you'd expect, get the 1.1mm orifice. And if you're still nervous about pulsating, get the 1.25mm orifice to be on the safe side. I just didn't like the original orifice because it's not giving thick foam.
Zeron Saetern thanks for the quick reply. I had no idea the dueschin came with 1.5mm. I will be trying it this weekend but of course if I don’t like the results I’ll get the 1.1mm.
Is there a reason why you scrapped the deuschin foam cannon? I had $60 chemical guys one, it came with 3 soaps too but my brother got a house and we’d always wash cars together, so I let him keep it. I didn’t wanna to spend $60 again, so I figured this $16 should do the job.
I think over the weekend I’ll order the new orifice. I don’t use the PW that much but when I do I love the thick foam. So I think I should be ok with pulsating.
The sunjoe is at 1.76gpm with 2030psi, but if you’re saying you don’t have issues and I won’t be using it that often I should be alright in general.
Once again sorry for the long reply. But thanks for your help, I appreciate it.
Zia Mahmood no need to apologise. The deuschin broke down. It couldn't spray because the adjustment knob area was bored deeper so it interrupted the jet. I was my second foam cannon I destroyed and water was literally filling the reservoir instead of drawing from it.
Zeron Saetern o damn that sucks. I hope I don’t have that issue. I got it today in the mail and everything seemed ok. I guess the weekend will be true test. But. I can always get another one since they’re so cheap. Thanks again.
Cool lol just bought this piece right now
Adrian Diaz same how do you like it better and what foam cannon do you use
akidim13 I've been using 3d wash and wax foam is really thick but not like in this video I need to try the honeydew snowfoam
Adrian Diaz could you tell the difference when you bought the smaller orfice ? And what foam cannon do you use
akidim13 big difference I have the matcc foam cannon
Adrian Diaz just bought the same foam cannon can’t wait
That's thick foam!
I have a problem with karcher when I use a snow foam gun, karcher starts to "choke" what should I do?
karcher is not powerful enough
Hey bro I ended up buying the 101 and it still the same I have a 3400 DeWalt pressure washer doesn’t mean that I have to get an electric one do I have too much pressure what do I need to do in order to get all the foam
Sergio Rendon you might have too much pressure and GPM? That's a Honda engine in your DeWalt gas pressure washer. At 3400psi and 2.5GPM, the lowest orifice size you can use may just be the 1.25mm.
If your foam cannon is pulsating, then the orifice size is too small. Another common difference is car shampoo vs car soap.
Before I can point you to the right direction, what foam cannon are you currently using and what type of foaming solution with what mixture?
hi, i'm glad to see this video helped so many people. would you like to review the new MJJC foam cannon Pro as well?
I would love to review it. I'll have to find all my filming equipment and my two pressure washers for foam comparison. I haven't seen it yet in person but would like to see what features it have.
@@Zeron18 glad to hear you are interested. do you still need 1/4 quick connector to fit your trigger gun? please email me your address info@mjjc.com

@@Zeron18 hi, Matt, i just replied your email. :)
Do you know if that orfice will fit into my mtm hydro foam cannon?

Nice video bro , where did you buy the little piece from ,,,, thanks 🙏
Beast srt from mjjc. I put a link on my video description
Thanks
Hey Zeron, great video. So I just ordered the MATCC foam canon you recommended for my SunJoe SPX 4000. My concern is that I noticed on the website for the orifice you used, they are saying to only use the 1.1mm orifice if your pressure washer is under 180 Bar which is like 1600psi, otherwise use the 125mm orifice or the PW will pulsate in and out which seems like it would cause backflow and be bad for the engine.

I'd appreciate your advice man, your setup looks awesome! Hope this makes sense... (I posted this comment earlier but accidently put it in the wrong place, sorry)
rsmithers7878 sorry for the delayed reply. The original orifice on the matcc foam cannon is about 1.25mm bore. You'll see that my calliper cannot measure into the hundredth of a millimeter when I did the measurements but it's far from a 1.5mm bore.
For the pressure being a tad over pressured, I didn't noticed any pulsating in the spray. Yes, the psi is much higher than 1600 but I'll take the chances of a better foam quality and other uses for the washer other than producing foams. My rationale is that the washer I used is relatively affordable if it goes down and won't burn a huge hole in my pocket.
Regardless, you'll always have the 1.25mm orifice from the matcc and of you do buy the 1.1mm orifice, you can always swap them back if you feel it'll start to pulsate or damage the washer.
As for the car shampoo, if you can get a magifoam soap locally, get it. It's odorless but the thickness of the foam is gooey like shaving gel. I simply got the honeydew because I could order it off Amazon and it'll arrive in 2-days. Plus, it got the thickest foam I found of all the soap I've tried locally.
Sorry for the long reply. The honeydew is the thickest car shampoo and the lowest price I could find online. All the soap you buy at the local brick and mortar stores are not shampoo so don't waste your time and money on them. I've tried it all and they're mostly runny.
One thing to consider is how slippery some car shampoos are vs soap.
Zeron Saetern great to know, makes senses. I just ordered it. Thanks for the fast reply, great insight!
Zeron Saetern to add to your point I also found a TH-cam video from the MTC guys emphasizing that they put a 1.1mm oriface in their foam cannon that is recommended to use for any PWs with than ~3 GPM output, which might be a more important variable than PSI for determining 1.25 vs 1.1mm
rsmithers7878 the determining factor for thicker foam is GPM and shampoo type. The sunjoe is only 1.76gpm. the psi only matters if the GPM is too high--similar to that of a garden hose fully opened with no spray
Will the mjjc 1.1 fit the fasmov foam cannon? I am using a Green Works 2000 psi pressure washer and the foam is decent, but I want that thicky-icky.
eric q I honestly cannot say it'll fit it or it'll be the right clearance for the foam to work properly. As of right now, i know it fits a deuschin, the matcc and the mjjc itself. I would order it and if it doesn't fit, I would opt for a foam cannon that'll fit.
If you want, take apart your jet orifice and do the measurements to see if they're the same. I did an in-depth measurement of the dimensions (except the thread pitch).
Zeron Saetern sounds like a good plan. Thanks for that quick response.
eric q any time. Best of luck with the trials. I'd like to hear from your results
Just ordered mine (: what soap do you use btw?
Rafael B I'm using chemical guys Honey dew with 3oz of that stuff to 27oz of water. If you have the option of getting autobrite magifoam locally, I'd get it since it foams much thicker and moves the dirt off the car better.
Zeron Saetern thanks man I appreciate the quick response, I’ll probably pick up the honeydew since I can order it off of amazon
That's the same reason why I got the Honey dew. Local b&m stores stock car soap, not shampoo. Best of luck with your results. Look forward to hearing how your results are.
Zeron Saetern I’ll let you know, thanks again
Zeron Saetern so I finally got it in the mail yesterday, i used the foam cannon with my Ryobi 1600 psi pressure washer with some honey dew snow foam.. and the difference is night and day. Thanks!
Wow this thing worked
Travel Bug glad it worked for another fella. Try different mixture if it makes thicker foam. My best if 4oz of this stuff on cold water. It does not like hot water.
Hey I have another questions. When I try to order the orifice off of mjjc, the website mentions free shipping anywhere however when I get to checkout there’s a $6 shipping fee. Is this normal?
Zia Mahmood I honestly cannot remember that option. I paid the fastest shipping because I needed it ASAP. You'll have to contact the website owners about the shipping prices. They'll be able to explain it properly.
Zeron Saetern O ok thanks. I just ended up getting it on Ali express. The shipping is 19-39 days 😭
Mjjc said that this does match only with mjjc foam cannon, Is that right?
Genysmen runner well, I got it work on my particular foam cannon. You just need to pull your own little spray orifice to see if the dimensions match up.
hey i need some help. i’m using a gas power washer 2400 psi and 3.2 gpm. diluted water and 2 oz of honeydew from chemical guys. i am getting thick soap but not foam. any suggestions?
Add more soap, turn the knob all the way so it uses a lot of the solution.
ok i’ll try that thank you!
Hey I did the swap and didn't notice the change and have exact setup as you but I used maxi suds chemical guys how much soap should I use?
Joshua Franzke where's you get your orifice? I noticed some folks who got the one from Amazon and AliExpress came out runny. Try a measurement to see if the office is actually 1.1mm. mjjc messed up my first order. Also, I've tried warm and hot (non-boiling) water and it comes out runny. I got the best result from cold water with 4oz of honeydew and the rest of the bottle with water.
Ahhh I've been doing warm water and it's from mjjc
Joshua Franzke drop by after you've tried it with cold water instead. For some odd reason, it never worked with warm water for me because the solution is just too runny.
I'm running a 1500 psi electric pressure washer and I get a lot of FOAM
Jakobe Fiame what cannon and soap you using
What GPM is the pressure washer and soap you're using? That's pretty big if you get that with 1500psi.
Jakobe Fiame Hi there; as a general rule, the higher the psi, the lower the blanket-type foam. the lower the psi, and with a good aerator canon you get pretty thick blanket foam. I suggest you visit the Obsessed garage website for further information regarding that research.
Can I go to like a hardware store and get that piece. I don't want to wait for it to get shipped and delivered. I have the same pressure washer with 2030 PSI I believe. I know it's in the 2000s a little over that. I just ordered my from Cannon. Or is there another way to get thick foam like that without doing what you did.
chevy guy55 there are a few options and i tried one of them before.
Option 1: take your jet spray orifice out and bring the whole unit to a local machinist. Have him make you two exact dimensions but with a smaller orifice bore sizes--one in a 1mm bore and another with a 1.1mm bore. Why the two? Just in case the 1.1mm orifice doesn't work, you have another with a stronger stream too make thicker foam.
Option 2 (and I advise against it at all cost unless you're willing to destroy your foam cannon). Solder shut the orifice and drill your own hole size. This is what I did and completely ruined a perfectly good foam cannon.
If you own a metal lathe, machine your own to exact specs but a slightly smaller orifice.
Last option is to simply order one and if you're not a fan on waiting, chose expedited shipping and it'll arrive in a week. Sorry but this is the fastest I got it from overseas.
chevy guy55 sorry, I forgot to mention that you cannot find this piece in a local hardware store. I've already done that and believe me, every garden specialty store and general hardware store does not stock it. There isn't a local machinist where I'm at to fulfill my special request.
What psi are you running on I’m thinking of getting a 2000psi
Marco Valle it's a SunJoe spx3000. It's a 2030psi at 1.76gpm.
How many oz do you use in the foam cannon of the honeydew? Does this perform the same with other shampoo like meguiars gold class?
Genysmen runner the gold class is not a shampoo. It's just a regular car soap with low suds. For my case, I filled it to 18oz of water and then 3oz of the shampoo. I noticed that if I go 4oz, the consistency is like thick shaving cream.
Zeron Saetern Excuse me but that is what you do with meguiars or honeydew?
Genysmen runner sorry for the late reply. The mixture combination is done with the honeydew. I stopped using regular car soap every since I went over to foam cannons. A bit more pricier than a regular car wash but I noticed far less swirl marks--especially on a dark gray color.
Zeron Saetern Thanks!
How much soap and water delution do you add to the foam cannon?
I fiddled with the dilution several times before I got it right for my rig. For my case, I needed cold water with 15oz of water first then 3oz of the shampoo. You'll have to do several trial and error to get it right
Thanks for the advice. I just ordered two of these for my foam cannons. Your video is great.
Zeron Saetern what soap are you using?
L Gambino I used a shampoo from chemical guys called "Honey dew.". If I could get my hands on some autobrite magifoam, I would opt for that. The foam is considerably thicker. I'll have to do some research where to get them during summer season. Right now, it's winter
So, you used 1.1mm orifice from MJJC with MATCC foam cannon? right?
Will correct. It fits perfectly!
Thank you! My Ryobi is on the way, it only comes with 1600 psi 1.2 GPM. I guess this will not be enough?
Will it might I don't think the GPM is high enough to draw from the reservoir to produce a good enough foam even with the 1.1mm spray orifice. I've seen others with a Ryobi 1600psi washer and the results are only slightly thicker but still very runny. Some folks report a huge difference with the same setup I have. Then there's some folks who report a huge difference with a lower GPM electric pressure washer. I cannot say how much different it'll be with a 1.2GPM.
Can that little orifice piece be bought locally in the states?
geek2330 depends if there's a specialty store that specifically sells foam cannons
If you do find the store that sells foam cannon, always give them a call before you waste time and gas driving there.
What would happen if you got the bigger one? Say the 1.5 or 1.7mm?
Chicago1 funny that you mentioned that. I do have a 1.5mm orifice but it's been modified to try and make a even smaller bore
what brand measuring tool is that
Sorry for the late reply. It's a simple micrometer from Harbor Freight. Basically, it's a no-name. A complete composite micrometer.
Bro I swapped out my orifice and I didn't see as much as a differencekke in your video it's still runny kind of. I use maguire's gold glass car wash soap not sure if that's why.
That's why. I used pretty much ALL if the soap you'll find and local brick and mortar stores and they're all runny. It's no difference even if I use straight soap and no water. That's how bad the soap is.
What you need is car shampoo, not soap.
@@Zeron18 on the back of the bottle it does say shampoo 🤔 I'm going to try another brand maybe thats why. I was hoping to get shaving cream like foam and I have the matcc foam cannon btw
@@avib1907 if you live somewhere you can order or but locally, get autobrite magifoam. It's almost odorless and produces a lot of foam.
Besides that, chemical guy honeydew is just about the only other shampoo that produces a decent amount of foam.
@@Zeron18 got it. Thanks alot !
What happened to the comparison? lol. Anyway, just wanted to add that the stock orrifices cause rediculously high amperage, sometimes even leading to a breaker popping or a burnt capacitor. I’m glad you did this video as not many people know about the orrifice issue. Also, as you pointed out, performance is much improved. Now, please please please get yourself a Kranzle pressure washer. That sound is horrific...lol

Hey I'm using a similar washer dat comes with the bottle .how did u get yours to pull soap from the cannon an not the bottle the washer comes with
@@Zeron18 hey
@@duwayneperkins5593 I ditched the stock bottle as it does not have any adjustability. I have no idea how it operates but I'm sure it's not very reliable.
For the mjjc, you need to turn the knob facing the vertical side all the way clockwise until it it stops. That's to tighten and draw from the bottle.
An alternative if you want to use an aftermarket foam cannon is to go quick connect. However, you would need to get an adaptor for the hose, a gun and a 1/4" foam cannon. From there, you should be better off.
@@Zeron18 so once I detached the suction lime from the bottle it will suck from the cannon its self?
Clutch i have thw same pressure washer almost bought a new one for nothing
Benito Louis I thought the same thing you did! I was so close to getting a 3000psi 2.4gpm gas washer but I didn't like the loud noise and that need to change oil and refuel.
I have gas pressure washer 2700 psi/2.3 GPM and I have the MTM PF22. i use 2oz of Honeydew Snow Foam and 16oz of warm water. The foam is not impressive.It has the 1.25 mm orifice. I recently ordered the 1.1 mm orifice, and hopefully it will help.
My pressure washer is 5 years old, and might not be putting the same output as before.
Did the 1.1 fit? I have a fasmov and am not sure if it will fit or not. Thanks.
IdHate2 There is no difference on the output between 1.1 vs 1.25 with my setup
IdHate2 When they do the demo in TH-cam they say they put 2oz Honeydew and 30oz of water. Its more like 5oz of Honeydew.
IdHate2 The water in Las Vegas is pretty hard. To get the same thickness of foam as they show in the videos, I have to put 6-8oz of Honeydew Snow Foam along with 24oz+ of warm water.
I was planning to get a higher output pressure washer 3200 psi/2.7 gpm, but I held myself back, knowing I have to spend my money wisely.
I recently did a tune-up on my pressure washer: replace spark plugs, and oil change. Its still working great.
IdHate2 What kind of soap and how much did you put in?
Someone teach this guy to use a vernier (not a micrometer)
Matt Balmforth I’m a machinist. My brain hurt watching it.
What psi is your pressure washer?
Swavey Mike it's a Sunjoe SPX3000 pressure washer with 2050PSI and 1.78GPM. The new brushless model have 2300PSI but much lower 1.4GPM.
GPM matters more on producing thicker foam.
Zeron 18 will any 1.1mm orifice Work
Swavey Mike I cannot guarantee that all orifices will fit any foam cannon. You'll have to do some measurements on your foam cannon's orifice to see if it matches with the one I did.
I made the measurements to ensure that other viewers can do a comparison with their.
It's called a vernier caliper !
Ordered one from amazon... let’s see what the fuss is all about.
jerry vada the foam cannon alone from matcc won't be enough for a thick foam. A pressure washer with a high GPM and PSI, along with car shampoo goes into the factor. If your pressure washer doesn't have a high enough GPM, you'll need to use a 1.1mm spray orifice (sold separately) to reduce the runny soap.
Zeron 18 Lol that’s what I meant. I have a ryobi 1500psi pressure washer and a $16 foam cannon. And the orifice from amazon.
Foam Cannon 1.10mm orifice nozzle tip for Thick foam www.amazon.com/dp/B07BZT4BG6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dBD1AbD78W46N
jerry vada how is your current setup treating you? Hopefully it's a thick, rich foam
Zeron 18 actually seeing a notable difference. Only thing is, it takes longer for the foam to drip off the car... which I guess is what you’d want..
Caliper!
I have an electric power washer off of amazon, and it came with a soap dispenser thing where I can pour in my soap however when using it, itll go through the soap I put in rather quickly, and even then its not a thick or consistent foam, its more watery than foam. Do I need to purchase an actual foam cannon and attach that to my electric power washer?
Yes. The tank on your pressure washer gives very little to no foam at all. It's mostly just spraying water with a little bit of soap. I have the piece in my pressure washer as well.
What if I buy just any amazon cannon? And changed that part?
not sure if any foam cannon will fit. so far, noticed the deuschin and the matcc will fit. the biggest part that matters most is the jet orifice. if the amazon one doesn't fit, you could always return it.
Just gotta wait a week now
Adrian Diaz for me, the wait was worth it! I started to see thicker foam vs the stock foam Cannon
Zeron Saetern hopefully it works for me I have matcc foam cannon and a 2000 psi Greenworks pressure washer
My pressure washer is a 2000psi with 1.7gpm flow rate. The one you have is similar to mine so you're going to see similar results I have
Zeron Saetern awesome I think mine is 1.2 gpm
The gpm might be a bit low but the 1.1mm is the smallest bore for low GPM pressure washer. It'll be far better than a standard foam Cannon orifice. If you're really interested in performance, get a machinist to make an orifice at 1mm bore
My solution for think foam is 2oz or 3oz of just soap in the foam cannon then attach it to your pressure washer its the perfect amount to cover my car
J_slayer 1337 it's different for everyone's when comes to usability and foam thickness. I use 4oz of honeydew and top it off for my qx50. For my Celica, it's just 3oz.
Do you dilute the contents at all or just straight shampoo inside the reservoir?
Zeron 18 straight shampoo
I've gotta give that a try ñ
what is it with the word orifice its like 'moist' nothing wrong with it, but it just sounds nsfw.... i mean theres nothing wrong with a moist orifice....
It has everything to do with word association. Tested and confirmed by research.
so its the cannon not the washer
chris s yes and no. If you're using a electric pressure washer, you'll need a foam cannon with a 1.1mm or a 1.25mm orifice to get good results. If you're using a had pressure washer with a high GPM, you can get away with a 1.25mm or a standard 1.5mm orifice in your foam cannon
Caliper *cough*
CalypsoRaz well you have to use a "caliper " to measure your "threadings".
You should learn how to use a vernier caliper properly ? Just Say'n
2
4?
Sun Joe Power washers are rated at the very lowest end of the scale, refusing to run after the first time its turned on. Bad story if you read beforehand. HF has a winner at half the price.
HF?
That's not how you use a micrometer....
Miguel Cruz how so? The arms have a flat part where I used often to get a clean measurement on large flat surface. The tapered tip have a slight 0.3mm less than the flat part.
I'm well aware that the micrometer doesn't have the capability to measure the very small gaps so I had to use my eyes to do an estimated measurement. It's also the same way I do machining and the parts come up to +/- 0.1mm tolerances
Dude, you need to learn how to use a micrometer. All your measurements are done incorrectly. You could have just simply said that the smaller opening helps create more foam for as much the information you gave was worth.
didnt know americans wash their car, back then when i was there all the cars i seen was filthy
sdq sdq depends really lmao we have a lot lazy people that hardly change there oil in there car let alone wash it but oh well
Your orifice measuring was a complete mess..
where can i buy 1.1mm orifice nozzle for autobrite or i6/Sam's foam cannons?
How can i measure the nozzle oriffice exactly?
ali rasheed the only way is with a micrometer like how I did. Don't pay any pins into that hole because you'll risk the chance of ruining the jet spray pattern.
Zeron Saetern thanks but unfortunately i don,t have one
ali rasheed they're relatively inexpensive. One of the best investment I've purchased to do machining work or precise measurements
where can i buy 1.1mm orifice nozzle for autobrite or i6/Sam's foam cannons?
Olavo Olavo I'm not sure if a typical orifice will fit an autobrite or Sam's foam cannon. I don't have the foam cannons or a thread pitch gauge to tell you if they're the same or not.
Sorry
