Autobrite Foam lance...

[vintageb3]

I've got a Gilmour and it's excellent but we have pretty high pressure at our hose point and that makes a HUGE difference as I used it at my mates once, he had keech line pressure and the foam gun was rubbish!

Col...What you have is "good flow"...everyone should have between 50 and 90 PSI mains water pressure.

Everyone gets mixed up between "flow" and "pressure"

Plumbers often turn down the stop **** or gate valve or ballofix fix to stop pipes banging or water splashing over your worktop when the cold water tap is turned on full. This reduces the flow....but not the pressure.

We have great 'pressure" and reasonable "flow" and the Gilmour doesn't come anywhere near this lance.

I'm not saying "Nah Nah...mines is better than yours" I'm only hoping that if someone reads this...has a power washer and has the choice between a Gilmour and a Power Washer foam lance...they think twice before buying a Gilmour.

I also noticed that I use less chemical with the foam lance...but as ever YMMV...

So you've started foaming have you? best get to a VET asap

I got the Karcher Foam lance from Autobrite as well about a month back, I can say that the service was fine and I LOVE The lance great fun, then rinse, Shampoo, Rinse, dry , Polish, wax repeat etc....

This is not the Karcher £14.99 foam attachment...its supposed to drink chemical...and has no adjustment. But check on Youtube...there's a guy using one...it looks "OK"

AB supply many attachments to go to many different makes of power washer for their brand of foam lance.

Hope this helps

P.S. I'm not putting anyone down here if they like their Gilmour/Karcher attachment etc...kinda sounds like that...sorry:(

I'm just over the moon with this foam lance (even at proesent when my Karcher lance is playing up a bit) and thought i would pass it on here as I know may of you will have power washers.

I do hope this helps someone out

This has been very enlightening for me
If i ever wanted to foam my car, it's all here
Then again, i'd rather watch several dozen episodes of Big Brother on a 14" black and white portable

Well thanks for that mate. Having worked for a pump company for 10 years I don't think I am mixed but it was kind of you to post. It is the difference in pressure I was talking about though. :)
