Foam Cannon Question

[lilsullivan04]

I bought a Chemical Guys MTM Foam Cannon and used it the other day with my Green Works electric pressure washer 1500 psi and 1.3 gpm. When I used the foam cannon it was just a straight stream of foam and I tried to adjust the dial to get a more "wide" stream it didn't work. Do I not have enough pressure in my pressure washer? What should I do? I saw that there is a mtm foam cannon out there that is for just electric pressure washers is this true and where can I get one?
Sorry so lengthy just trying to get some answers and get it working properly.

I believe I have the same canon, but I have the 1700 psi Greenworks pressure washer though. What kind of soap were you using? Do you have very hard water?

I have the Greenworks 1500, too. My foam cannon, however, is the MTM made specifically for electrics. Yours should work fine, though. My buddy has the cannon for gas pressure washers, but uses it on the Greenworks 1700 without an issue. Granted, my foam is a little better, but his doesn't work bad.

As asked above, what soap are you using?
How much soap are you putting the bottle?
Are you using hot or cold water with the soap?

There are two dials on the cannon you can adjust. One is on top, which adjusts the air/water mixture. More air, more foamy action. The other adjustment is the end of the cannon - the nozzle. This adjusts the spray pattern from wide to stream.

Let us know more info and hopefully we can help.

I used honey dew snow foam from Chemical Guys and i put warm water in the cannon with 2 ounces of soap.
I didn't know about the other dial at the tip i will have to look at that!

Are you using both adjustments? The dial/knob will adjust the soap to water ratio, while twisting the black nozzle adjusts the shape of the foam, There, all fixed!!

Honey dew snow foam makes some serious foam. I've used it numerous times. I believe you've found your issue with the dial at the tip. The entire black tip turns left and right. Stream to spray. In fact, when you're not pulling the trigger, look inside the tip while you twist it. You'll see the little thingy inside open and close.
