I do this for small foam sprayers, too. I have 3-4 of them, 1 for onr, 1 for snow foam and maybe 1 for wheel cleaner.

I have an idea. There is a safety valve on a foamer. Set the pump pressure 1psi higher to let it run continuously. This way it only needs to be activated once.

I bought the smaller one, with a $45 electric bike pump. Works good. I have to fill a few times. But I spent $100 on ik sprayer, pump, & pink car soap. Used it 10 times already with no major issue.

Just bought this setup instead of going the rinseless wash way. Should save me a lot of time still and be safer. Snow foam with this and BH touchless, rinse with hose, contact wash with 1 bucket and grit guard, rinse again, top up protection, woila. Don't have to spend time getting out the pressure washer, setting it up, filling snow foam bottle, switching between pressure washer rinse attachment and snow foamer and so on. Thanks for showing how to set up.

You could also add a rinsless for lube and then use a Kitchen citrus based cleaner, then you will get a residue free wipe down with excellent cleaning and foaming.

pretty cool! I have a marloex foamer that i added a schrader valve to it and have a ryobi hand inflator and use that to air it up... that is a cleaner set up and hands free, i will have to do it when i get one of those cool ik foamers

On the Xiaomi 1S, hold left button and tap right button 5 times, this is a hidden mode that will hold the PSI for you! No more pressing the button

It’s been already 4 years+ I’ve made the same with my ik sprayer….The only way to foam the car properly without pumping manually like crazy!!

Great review and trick. I think the IK battery pack is neat but it’s also disappointing from a pressure standpoint. The Foam Pro 12 manual says that the ideal volume of liquid is 6L and 4 bars of pressure (58PSI). However the pump only goes to 2.5 bars (36PSI).

I pump mines to 55 psi and it just keeps on going using a small husky pump

I just ordered one. I wonder if it would be possible to leave the hose connected to the Schrader valve and insert a small peg or dowel into the valve holder opening to activate the shut-off switch so the battery won't drain when not in use? You could secure it with a short lanyard to prevent loss. Just pull it out to activate unit when using, and pop it back in instead of the hose end to turn it off.
