Portable foamer...

take a good pump-up sprayerand drill a air hole in the pick-up line on the inside of the sprayer. This will ad air thus foam.Not the shavecream kind but it will get the job done.
 
the second one maybe, nut the first is close to what I get already, wet suds...
 
I've read something about adding a brush or brillo pad in the wand? can anyone explain this concept?
 
The beauty of downstreaming is not having to carry a bucket. Is there a foamer made that will work for true downstreaming?

The first one is the one I use most, since it's used on regularly serviced accounts. It can be adjusted to meet my need.
 
Lou, what type of setup are you using in these vids. looks like there is a lot of pressure there...
 
What's the advantage to replacing the connections on the top of the keg? Just ordered some original connectors to see how they'll work. Any tips on do's and don't's other than don't use brass?
 
Here's a hood we did the other night...

I like the simplicity of a pump up but the short reach and having to pump the darn thing so much really makes me want to keep the parts I like and replace the others.

One of the manufacturers has a pump up foamer at the concrete show. I don't remember which one. It was 3 gallons and was going to be about $45. They demo'd it on an evaporator coil and it worked pretty darn good.

I have two pump up foamers we have nine different ways to foam, just depends on what the situation is. Our experience with foam is "one size" does not fit all.

Go with 316ss couplers & viton rings. Your foam will be determined by your setup (unit & mix).
