I love that you guys partnered with the rag company! My two favorite detail product companies together!!!
Outstanding info, thank you! I love my Veloci foam cannon!
Great video, very helpful, thanks!
WOW, Super Product #1 Detailed
Excellent demo, thank you
This was an amazing educational video. I have a 1.2GPM 2k PSI machine. So after watching this I immediately switched to the supplied 1.1mm orfice Thank you 🙏🏼
Great video
And it should pop off!! Mine was made with an impact hammer it seams. With arthritis I need a pry bar. Too many parts to replace with better quality ones.. I was getting and have been getting that great foam. I stopped the foaming to brush and rinse. When I started again it immediately clogged. Temps in high 90s, it wouldn't clear, I gave up. Thanks for the details and good video. I'll try with dry hands to get that connector off and check the jet. But there was no indication of clogging, just minutes earlier it gave great foam.
Get this guy back on the channel
soft water helps too!
I had to switch up the way. My Bosch aquatak is 150bar so needed the 1.25mm orifice. It just didn`t work with the pre-installed 1.1mm. Thanks for the advice 👍
Good vid
1.1 Orifice for the WIN!! 😁
Next time use Adam's Mega Foam.. You will definitely see a difference.. good vid

I have this foam cannon, I bought it in the magnum kit with the sg28 gun at my prior workplace about 6 months ago. I use it on my daily drivers and with a lot of si02 soaps to keep up my ceramic coatings. I noticed the second to last time I used it globs of gunk coming from the draw piece. I took it apart and cleaned any gunk and it worked one time. I tried to use it again and now it’s not drawing at all. I have taken it apart and the filter was clean and there was no debris. Why would it still not draw any soaps? I always rinse it out throughly, and take the tube of the nozzle to let them dry out?
It is possible for the filter to retain minerals from the water source that you can't see. If you've tried replacing the filter there may be more going on. Please contact our customer support team if you continue to have issues:

I bought the Veloci SS filter today that yall use for this specific foam cannon, and I didnt notice much change in foam. When i first got the foam cannon i switched to the 1.1 orific and got the good amount of foam but now i have a cheaper orific with the Veloci ss filter and im not getting that good clingy shaving cream foam. Do i need to put yalls stainless steel orifice on the cannon also to get better outcome again?
Since we can't speak to the quality of third party parts, we always recommend using our parts to ensure reliability and performance. If you swap in with one of our orifices and continue to have issues, feel free to contact customer service.
Thanks
Which Power washer did you guys use ? I have a gas and an electric in my mobile set up if I run the 1.1 will it effect either ?
You will want to use the orifice size that best applies to your specific pressure washer. You will likely see better performance from a 1.25mm (3.5) orifice with gas pressure washer, and 1.1mm (3.0) orifice with an electric. Use our calculator to determine the best option for your specific needs.

I have a PF22.2 that leaks from under the top adjustment knob when tipped over, is that normal?
Yes, there are air intake and relief ports to allow for proper operation. If you tip the cannons over, they will leak as the system is not airtight.
I have the active ve52 pressure washer and was told the 1.1mm orifice could eventually damage the pump (Matt Mormon from OG also mentioned this in his active ve52 video) with the reason being the psi (1000-1100) and flow (1.8-1.9 gpm) out of the active pressure washer. From your experience, is this the case?
Yes, this is something that may happen as the pump can overload, causing the pump to cycle on/off.
No, the reason is because people used a 50ft hose which it wasn't designed for
I have a MTM foam cannon from the old version and replaced the old bottle with the new one. I have never changed the orifice or the filter and still currently using it with foam… I tried removing the pin but it is not willing to come out. Should I replace any parts for it? I believe it has been over 4-6 years
We offer full replacement part kits. As far as the pin, you may need a punch and mallet to get it out after it being in place for 6 years.

I just ordered my today from kleen rite do that come wit the 1.1 or I have to order separate?
The PF22.2 comes with both the 1.1 and 1.25 orifice. The 1.25 is pre-installed.
Thanks a lot
What effect does changing the nozzle have?
Changing the orifice or nozzle size changes the diameter of the inlet of the foam cannon, restricting flow or increasing flow. This, combined with PSI and GPM of the pressure washer, affects the quality of foam produced.
I switched the orifice does it have to be vertical straight?
the orientation doesn't matter as long as it's fully inserted.
My pressure washer is a 1800psi 1.1 gpm is that ok for a foam cannon?
You may have issues given the 1.1 GPM. Specs of the PF22 foam cannon are:
Min. 1,100 psi - Max. 5,000 psi
Min. 1.4 gpm - Max. 5.3 gpm
Max. 140°F
I have seen you're able to buy more bottles... but is it possible to buy more caps as well ??
Yes! You can find replacement parts for the foam cannons here: www.mtmhydroparts.com/collections/foam-cannon-parts
Is there a possibility of harming the pressure washer when using a smaller orifice? Does this depend on output psi and gallon/minute?
If using an orifice that is too small you can place the p ump into bypass, which is ok for short periods of time, but excessive time in bypass can put unnecessary strain on the unloader and pump. Of course, the best practice is to use the correct orifice for your specific needs.
Thank you for your answer! Would foaming a car using a smaller orifice have any substantial impact on the durability of a pressure washer? I understand you cannot guarantee anything, but what would your answer be? Since you have a lot of expertise👍
@@jaaphoogendijk671 You want to use the orifice that's appropriate for your pressure washer. If you desire more or less foam, it's best to adjust the chemical draw knob on the top of the foam cannon or your chemical/water ratio.
For a Karcher k5 is better the 1.25 or the 1.1? Thanks!
We recommend starting with the 1.1
@@PoweredbyVeloci And for the K7?
Based on the published K7 specifications, it lands very much between. We recommend starting with the 1.25mm.
I still wonder why they didn't also put the fluid measuring lines in ounces.
Also pretty stupid of them when they came out with the then new PF22 foam cannon with a bottle that couldn't stand upright with the foam cannon on top. Duh!!
I have this foam canon and I’m
Having a problem with the soap actually coming out. The soap will spray out but not thick at all and water leaks from the side of the foam cannon where you screw it in. I’ve already replaced the water filter but that didn’t work, do you know how to fix it
Could be an incorrect size or blocked orifice. Contact our support team here:

Not working, sponge block the air pressure in gun, after removing it again works fine,

Psi seems to be low.
Did you just tell everyone to safely cross thread?
By nature of the design BSP and NPT are not fully compatible, which is due to mixing European and North American manufactured parts. With the use of thread lock or teflon tape a water tight seal is achieved.
Why on earth not provide parts with matching thread types?
@@Cleofizoid quit crying
BSP thread? You must be kidding. Why not use a straight thread metric with o-ring? Refer to ISO 6149. It’s superior to both npt and bsp.
Your filter…Manu havre too change
Mjjc better
I put them both side-by-side and with mega foam they perform about the same
Step 1 would be to use mjjc instead of overrated, expensive mtm with brass on plastic design.
