Snow foam lance problems!!

[oz_clio]

Ordered my lance the other day from auto rae chem....good product and all but when i come to change the lance to the foam one and pull the trigger to spray it only comes out intermittently in short bursts as if the PW has a pressure problem.
So i change the couplings from plastic to metal and made sure all the connections were tight but its still doing this....whats wrong?!!

Btw the normal water lance(and the PW) works perfectly in the same conditions so its deffo the foam lance.

Cheers

Is it at the start you have problems, as I get this with mine and it is a Karcher connection. I just spray it a few times with the bottle of foam off so as not to waste any and after about 30 seconds or so it works absolutely fine. Not sure what the problem is but it works anyway. Maybe try this?

To be honest it sounds like the seals on your pressure washer are warn.

Common problem ... has happened to me twice now.

Have you tried the lance on another PW?

You should be able to buy seal kits for a DIY fix.

BioHzrd: PW works normally with normal water lance and splutters with foam lance on. What pics do you mean mate?

7MAT: Havent tried the lance on another one but as i said the PW works fine otherwise.
