Hehehe. need ko talaga yung specific number sa counterweight. It has something to do with the vibrations sa pc. hehehe. I doubt kc kung basic PC kit lang bibilihin ko, 6" cw ang ksama nia.

And after watching a video of it, application is a PITA vs the foam cannon.

i got two. maybe i'll sell the other one later. at 5T? i left the bottles for a smaller package. i use the portable bnd. 1400W

i got kew/alto fittings but the thread is for a screw type lance which is a pain because it is 1/2" with bigger threads vs. the standard 1/2" NPT. i had to thin the tapered end of bayonet according to the bnd bayonet by 1mm diameter and tap the inside of the other end with 1/4" NPT so i can screw in a 1/4" nipple plus Teflon tape.

the ordinary spray bottles and 1.5L softdrink bottles fit. the hose for the bottle is a thick transparent one. this one you cannot change at whim because the grooved connector cuts and hooks into the rubber. the hose curves inside a shorter bottle so no issue there.

the foam cannon has a very high pressure rating around 150 bar ~ 2000+ psi so i don't think it's the cannon, but i would guess a foreign part came into the all-brass body internals. can all the passages be checked? what about having it warrantied? what's the link to the dismantling procedure?

i want a clingy foam. tornador can make mousse.

excuse moi, i'll get back to this and to you guys later, social duties acalling..

Hmmm is the process of retrofitting the kew/alto fitting to adapt BnD pressure washer hard? or can it be done with some patience? can i ask for some help if im going to consider taking the same route as yours?

Im thinking of just getting a BnD PW just for the sake of having it 220volts, my Bf's maid out of curiosity plugged his PC 7424 on a 220volts socket and it burned right down to the bread board, so its far from any hope of being repaired and knowing how some maids can be "so curious" im talking every possible caution now

here the link to dismantling and servicing the foam lance if ever something gets stuck or something needs to be cleaned like the wire mesh

hope this helps, i know after sometime you might need this read because we sure did, we had to do that procedure twice in the foam cannon's 2 year life span, as for warranty it seems like its more expensive to ship it over to AG and ship it back again rather than just order it again

ok..thanks po..yup microtex nanoglos po before 915.

pictures would help us a lot in determining what those white spots are

bibili ako sa sunday ng carnauba wax.3 choices lang po... 1. mothers step 3 (carnauba wax) 2. turtle wax (ultra gloss) 3. F21. hingi sana ko ng advice alin ang mas tatagal at mas makintab sa tatlo?

im currently using turtle cleaner wax, makintab naman sya kaya lang parang bitin yung kintab. by the way medium silver pala yung color (altis).

as with their suggestions, get 476 instead, its a lot better and more economical

it's simple enough if you have the tools. i just bore into the plastic fitting itself and threaded (tapped) the inside to fit the 1/4" nipple.
i also thinned the diameter of the bayonet part with the o-ring by 1mm. you can bring it to a machine shop so you won't have to worry about this one-time conversion.

i imagine the same could be done to the bayonet of the soap dispenser of the BnD. but i haven't dared cutting it off as i'm just about to buy my own unit ;)

don't be silly, of course i'll help.

i realized i covered my face subconsciously.

you could bring the kaput PC to an electrician friend cos most of them know how to convert from 110v. at least you can then gauge if it's feasible.
