Hi I have purchased a Karcher K5 Pressure Washer.

Please can you give a list of best Foam Cannon's that work great with the Karcher.

Thanks in advance.
 
This is one to consider

There are plenty of foam cannons out there to suit just about any type of budget. The one bosko mentioned above is around $60 usd and foams very nicely. The key is to match the orifice size of the foam cannon to the specs of your pressure washer. Your Karcher will more than likely need a 1.1mm orifice in a foam cannon to produce respectable foam.
 
Best in my mind would be the MTM PF22.2 -

 
I have a low gpm, high psi PW. Most cheaper (sub $400) PW are built that way.

In trying several I have found as DFB mentioned the PF22 from MTM is worth the extra coin. Definitely foamed better than the less expensive ones I’ve tried.

Wish I woulda just bought it first.

If I had gas i would probably just get a cheapie from Amazon

Thank you very much to you all.

Is there any adaptors and orifices that come with these Cannons?

Thanks again

Not sure if your karcher needs anything special. Obsessed garage would be a good place for sourcing everything you would need in a kit.

The MTM is probably the best one but i have a cheap one off amazon - with the 1.1mm orifice along with the active ve52 i think its called, which has a decent GPM and i'm more then happy with my foam.

You will need the Karcher adaptor and a male nipple connector, that would apply to any foam cannon, MTM or otherwise.



Most vendors will have a drop box to help select the appropriate fittings, and Autogeek offer advice in the below link as to what you will need. It sound complicated but is just a matter of selecting a couple of fittings.

The only drawback to the MTM is the small diameter bottle opening.

I would also recommend getting a couple of bottles so you can swap to different soaps easily.

I first tried a cheap $20 foam cannon that I found on Amazon and it was a piece of junk. The foam came out watery no matter how much soap I used or what kind of setting I had on the cannon. Then I switched to the MTM PF22.2 and it was a world of difference. I only use 3 ounces of soap and a little foam booster and I get thick, clingy foam.

With the K5 the original orifice 1,25mm should be perfect for your PW. I have the first modell of MTM 22. The downside where the small bottle so it easly tipped over. But I got me one of those on the picture. The Kwazar bottles 0.5L and 1L fits as well and is very stable than the originals. Have heard that the 22.2 is better though. If you go with a Kwazar 1L bottle. You may need to be getting a bigger hose inside. You can maybe take the 360 hose/tube from the Sprayer head and put on the MTM. Kärcher K-series is the adapter you need. And a little tube or male/male adapter.

Here's my setup. I got my for around $35 so look around for the old modell and upgrade the bottle works great. I live in Sweden but we have got us Bezos even here now LOL
