$15 Hack - Pressure Washer to Foam Cannon or Pro Nozzles! (Portland, Sunjoe & More!)

[@denoftools]

*** Update *** The Amazon supplier of this product is now defunct. The good news is Harbor Freight now sells its own universal adapter! Links in the video description have been updated.

[@danielslocum7316]

I received my pressure washer kzbin.infoUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP over the weekend and decided to wait for the sun to come out before firing it up. Was needed to clean the deck. Our last pressure washer broke a couple of seasons ago, and I just hadn't replaced it yet. This one had great comments, so here we are. It was easy to assemble, and the trigger wand is comfortable and easy to hold for long periods of time. The pressure washer worked great and made quick work of the "TN North side algae" that inevitably grows every year. I also washed all of the deck furniture while I was at it... it all looks great! So far I am happy with this purchase. I plan to climb the ladder to wash siding over the next couple of days, will update if I have anything else to add after that!

That table you reference is something that most apparel retailers use so a supply store that sells to apparel retailers will most likely be selling something like that

[@denoftools]

Yeah, I found someone who sells them. $500! I love my table but I will not be paying that price for another one.

[@danielusa998]

Thanks for the tip ,I just got one I will try tomorrow

[@denoftools]

Did you see my post in the video description? These sellers keep changing the product and a lot of them will not work. Make sure you get the right one.

[@mikezoltan3227]

Harbour freight sells these!

[@codestools1528]

Thanks guys!!!

Looks like a typewriter table stand. Never heard of the foam cannon. Looks like it might be handy.

[@fishycomics]

Just want to say thank you Ordered a kit for $15.00 after tax and all like shown, wit ha better design to place on. and thank you againFISH

This is exactly what I did with my dad's old cheap electric pressure washer.

[@adamthewoodworker2571]

Bro, The Bear always has the answer for everything. This is exactly what I needed!

[@theredrage1415]

Swap out the oriface tips on the foam cannon to a 1.1 mm. Makes a huge difference with the electric pressure washer. Tons of foam.

[@robertrossi8997]

Do you have a link to this 1.1mm orface tip you bought? Thx

[@paulcondie2520]

@@robertrossi8997 you can just Google 1.1 foam cannon orifice and several options will pop up. I recently got two for a couple bucks but can't remember which one I ordered from. Big difference. Sorry I'm a year late, just noticed the video is a year old! Lol

[@mrstangblb]

​@@paulcondie2520 Thanks for the information - I will try this out!

[@WCollins041791]

Hey Bear you should also try the greenworks turbo nozzle on the electric pressure washer. It will make your little pressure washer clean concrete.

Your cart was used as a portable overhead projector stand. Fold the wings now and it moved through doors and isles. Raise the wings and you have a place to put your overhead slides as you are presenting.

[@MJJCvideo]

Hello@The Den of Tools, would you like to review the new MJJC foam cannon pro? Thank you.

[@chriskendro9194]

I concur the table you were asking about is a typewriter table search on amazon. Thanks for all your work! Must be the hardest working bear. Do bears have to worry about drinking too many Coronas?

[@jakeqwaninne8502]

i recently saw something similar to that cart being used at a hospital, i would think you could look up office supply sites, or retail display sites, or jobbers' suppliers , (i'm talkin about the cart you use)

[@60anthonyh]

What's the difference between a foam Cannon and the regular bottle that comes with the Portland? Is it just that a foam Cannon has the ability to adjust flow/pattern?

[@agfa663]

With the soap on that Jeep, sorry, I mean FIAT, you doubled its value!

[@compa_choo]

Wish this was out a couple months ago, i ended up getting the rigid power washer wand that has quick disconnect but this wouldve made it easier than switching between wands

[@kenirwin276]

Foam cannon has lousy performance. Runny foam runs off too fast. On other pressure washer foam cannon combinations they change to smaller orifice to fix this. Maybe you can just change the dispensing rate.

[@STBRetired1]

My problem is on the other end of the hose. My HF Portland electric pressure washer only has a screw on adapter on the end that connects to the pressure washer. The other end that connects to the long wand handle just has a slide in fitting. I need to convert that slide in fitting to a screw on so I can use a Dusichin short (stubby) handle with my foam cannon. I'm just not sure what that adapter might be called or where I could find one. Anyone have any suggestions - other than buying a better pressure washer?

[@dougmaverick3287]

Is that the thickest foam you can get with this type of pressure washer, or do you just need a better soap and better foam cannon. I've seen foam in other videos that is as thick as shaving cream.

[@diegoa.friasrodriguez4114]

Hello again friend, I have bought another foam cannon called twinkle star but when I try to connect it to the pressure washer gun it does not adjust what type of adapter I should use. sun joe spx200e. do you think you can help me?

[@xephael3485]

Feel like that foam cannon should have been vibrating more making thicker suds.

[@leecamarillo5570]

Yup. Shoulda read the comments. Doesn’t work. Hopefully Amazon will take it back

[@dillardalarmcompany]

Awesome! Thank you so much! That is exactly what I was looking for to upgrade my two electric power washers. Now I can attach all the professional attachments with this adapter. Great video!

[@jastube1]

Witch quick connector fits the DeWalt Power Cleaner DCPW550B 5 AH 500 PSI. ?

[@JohnBlakeJr]

Can you give me more information on the “Bosch style fitting”. I can not find it anywhere. I am trying to hack my Sun Joe electric pressure washer’s wand so I can use a foam cannon.

[@bjr2379]

Swap out the orfice in the foam cannon to a 1.1mm and it'll look like shaving cream.

[@franklugo6928]

Price of the foam canon and parts jumped up a buck... supply and demand in action!

[@denoftools]

If you bought one I'm sorry, I'm not being told that this kit will not fit the Portland unit. I've got new links in the video description.

[@facehunter504]

Where can I order the attachments that go with this pressure washer? Bought the pressure washer at a garage sale for like $5.

[@fomomofo6917]

They make foam cannons with the electric pressure washer fittings

You helped my convincing power, now "the boss" can't say nothing about another trip to harbor freight!

[@larrycroft470]

Red you are such a smart bear. Thank you for the tip

[@austinpowers4549]

Youre not foaming correctly. Thats foam is running off the car

[@TempestaWeb]

bizarre video with the bad cgi bear lol but useful knowledge

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

I took a slightly different approach.. Because my wand for the "Portland" had internal leaks, I just a a proper QD fitting put on the hose end, do I can use the wand, nozzles, and foamer from my high power gas driven pressure washer. For cars and boat, I use the low power electric ... for concrete or paint removal, then I fire up the gas.

[@josephsanjuan7204]

I was too focused on the bear talking!

[@lealamb]

Does anyone know if this works on the Stihl R90 pressure washer?

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Very nice custom made nozzle and foam cannon setup

[@SoCalKevin]

Thanks for the info! I just bought the foam cannon kit on Amazon, but it was like $30. Can’t wait to try it out on my Portland pressure washer from HF

[@ricop8888]

Can you provide me info of parts I need to make that adapter please

[@charlesknowles7789]

Or... Just buy a short wand with the 5 attachments

[@jesuszaragoza5306]

I bought the bundle and it didnt not fit my portland pressure washerz if you pay close attention, the first adapter you show around 6:42 is different from the bundle deal you show. I returned and ordered the correct one, but just a quick tip.

[@denoftools]

I left a comment in the video description and pinned one as well stating that they had changed the parts.

[@toolhead147]

Great video! I need to get that adapter make the wand shorter. You can upgrade the nozzle to a 1.1 mm for electric pressure washers to get a thicker foam on that foam cannon.

[@robertrossi8997]

Link to the 1.1mm tip please. Thx

[@robertrossi8997]

Great. Thank you

[@therealbigfoot3076]

They are on sale right now for 69.99$

[@rayrayg231]

This is a great attachment piece. I would change out the O-ring and get a slightly thicker , high quality o ring on the brass extension. Also if your gun already has a 1/4 connection on it where you put on the pressure washing nozzles.This whole kit is more than what you need. The main thing that you’re getting from this kit is the foam cannon. You need to buy a 1.1 mm orifice and also find a good soap to water ratio especially if your using $3 soap like me lol. It gets thick unlike the foam cannon that came with my 2578 sun joe, which only game me soapy water. it’s nice knowing I have a backup wand, and back up nozzle attachment. Will be having fun with the 25 degree nozzle.

[@raitchison]

Just send some pictures of that table/cart to "Deep Freight" and wait 6 months for it to go on sale for $69 ($59 with a coupon) under the Yukon brand. ;)

[@joecrisp1938]

Would be a good selling item

[@richardfowler3254]

For the table, that looks like a old style office typewriter table. I used to deliver these back in the mid 80's. I would try used office furniture store

[@wallyheser6866]

Took some measurements, inside receptacle on the handle = 23.64 mm. The stock plastic wand = 22.65 mm. The steel & brass wand = 24.25. So I needed to lose .6 mm somewhere. I used a Dremel and ground down the inside of the handle. Works great now.

[@ElOmen22]

I like the bear thing..

[@legoclonekid]

Hey Bear, just so you know, the parts kit with the foam cannon that you linked does NOT work with the Portland pressure washer. The tabs are too fat on the fitting to fit.

[@denoftools]

Where do you see that?

[@legoclonekid]

@@denoftools Should've specified in my first comment, apologies - I just got the adapter in the mail today and it didn't fit.

[@denoftools]

Marty, I'm very sorry. I just figured out what is going on and yep, this kit came with a larger head. I found the right parts and have corrected the links. Can you return it?

[@legoclonekid]

@@denoftools I should be able to return it. Even if I can't I'm really only out the money for the adapter part. The fittings and foam cannon should still work on any other coupler, so no worries! Just wanted to keep this from happening to anyone else. Appreciate what you do!

[@angelgarza3143]

What size is the o-ring? Mine broke

[@duanemiller5606]

Thanks. Been looking for something like this. Already ordered the set with foam cannon. Did it through your link. Don’t know if it gets you a Commission, but either way, again I say thanks.

[@jorgenvonstrangle000]

Man I’m so stupid I didn’t know I could do this on a cheap pressure washer from Harbor freight, Because I had the same one that was 1750psi. I ended ip spending $200 on a greenworks one from lowes because it had that end to spray the car perfectly. Now I know 🙄😂

The table you asked about with the sides that fell down that is an old typewriter table. Back when we had typewriters before computer keyboards. So you probably won’t find those anywhere other than maybe yard sales or thrift stores. I doubt that they make them anymore since we don’t use typewriters anymore.

U don't see in Amazon

[@sweetpea1322]

Thank You for this very informative video!! I borrowed one of my ex-husbands power washers, and have been having a hard time, to even just use it once! Lol. It wouldn't start so I bought a new spark plug and ended up cleanimg out the carburator and the ports, drained the old black oil and put new oil in it and bought a new carberator gasket. Finally got it to stay running good, then seen the wand is cracked and spraying water all over me lol, 5 minutes into power washimg my bricks on my house the nozzle tip clogged! So... I took the wand apart, it wasn't as easy as "turn while pushing-in and pull apart" !! Lol, But I finally got it apart.. I looked at my local stores to buy a new wand, and couldn't find one for under $60!! So I researched a little bit and came across your video, and gonna go to my local plumbing store today. I took a screenshot of the fitting on your video,of the parts I'll need.. Thanks again!!!
