- I used a CYCPLUS bicycle pump to pressurize the IK Foam Pro 2+. It work pretty well. You could get a smaller pump and it will be lighter to handle. Thanks for watching! Like comment and subscribe!!!!!
here is s link to the pump

Cool idea.i got a decent battery pump.will definitely do this.cheers buddy
Yes this has worked out great for me, so it should work great for you as well. I did however move the pump to the other side. I am right handed so when I pick up the sprayer to use it, I hit start with my left hand and that feels more natural. Thanks for watching and commenting!
This is the BEST video Hack for this sprayer. I just ordered this compressor as pumping is a PITA :).
Yes it is! I have switched the compressor to the other side. I'm right handed so I start spraying then hit the pump button with my left hand to keep pressure building! It takes a bit to get used to. But do worth it! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@rog3775 this was an ingenius idea.
@LuisC202 thank you! 😊
Great video!!! I was trying to find a better way to use of the cannon. You made it easy for all of us.
Thank you! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Just Genius!
Thank you very much! I just used them this past weekend! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@rog3775 I have the compressor so just ordering the IK now. Thank you :)
@MRHKP- I have switched the side I have the pump on. I'm right handed so when I hold it and start spraying, I just got the start button with my left hand so it pumps up as I'm spraying!
I read that in your comments and I’ll be doing the same :)
Brilliant. You could loop the cord through the plunger gap and hold the inflator in left hand and bottle in right hand.
Thanks for watching. I moved the pump to the other side. That way I can start spray while holding the bottle with my right hand and I can press the start button with my left hand. Before I had to reach over my right hand and it was an awkward angle. It works perfectly!
@@rog3775 I just watched your video and just ordered my bottle in UK. I am going to order my inflator to. Apparently it's saves chemical and water when washing a car.
Because your not using the hose water so dilution ratio is much less.
Many people say it's not the amount of foam it's how it reacts a nice thin layer reacting to the panel.
Just like iron remover on wheels a thin spray makes it all go purple.
Your a top guy very clever.
@@preteshpatel959 awesome! Thanks for your reply and I'm glad I could help! I think you will enjoy your sprayer! Let's us know how it goes!
@@rog3775 it will work defo. Your method video saved me 8litres of water through pressure washer on low setting per 1litre in a foam cannon bottle until bottle empty. Now I only will need just the chemical and water 1litre both together in total.
If I used three solutions e.g pre wash, foam wash, shampoo wash three times I saved 24 liters of water.
@@rog3775 sure
Good work! wondering if there's any advantage using warm or maybe hand hot water as opposed to cold to create better suds/ snow in tackling the dirt?
Thank you for your question. For me, by the time I get to the car wash the water would be cooled back down. Iwould say the dilution ratio determines the amount of suds you get. I have a video where I wash my truck in 32 degree weather and I only used regular cold washer from my sink. I will be doing another video with this sprayer set up soon. Let me know if you have any other questions! Thanks again for watching!
@@rog3775 understood, thanks for your advice I'll go and watch your video!
I have the same foam pro setup with a valve mod as well- I use very hot water and wheel concentrate for brake dust on ultra high performance brakes that throw the most stubborn haze I’ve ever seen. Works like a charm with 1 minute cure and slight agitation for the tough spots.
@@THE_A.RAVEN1 that's awesome! Thanks for the tips! I'll give it a try myself the next time I wash my car! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hi, great work! Could you tell me what to type on Amazon to find a suitable valve?
The valve comes on the IK Foam Pro 2+. That is the only way I know of to be able to use this method. If you have any more questions let me know and I will try to help! Thanks for watching and commenting!
can you list amazon links to the parts please? Also the Velcro pad? Thank you
I updated the description with an Amazon link. I got the velcro from a friend so I don't have a link for that. I'm currently trying to design and 3D print a bracket to hold the pump. I'll let you know when I get that figured out! Thanks for watching and commenting!
What is the pressure set up you use (psi, kgf/cm2 or whatever unit you use)?
Hello! So they have an over pressure safety on them. I would just pump it up until the safety released and then I would set the pressure to just below the safety release! Does that make sense? Thank you for watching and commenting! Let me know if you have any other questions!
How long does it last before you need you refill the air? Thanks
I have since moved the pump to the other side. I'm right-handed, so I hold it with my right hand. As soon as I start spraying, I hit the start button so it pumps air as I spray. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
What psi you put on pump?
Each one is different. I just pumped them up till the relief valve worked, then set it 1 psi lower. I wanna say 49 to 51? I can't really remember. Thanks for watching and asking a question!
@theragcompany take notes
Thank for watching! It's still working to this day. Although I switched the pumps to the other side since I'm right handed
