Snow foam without a hose or pressure washer!

[AndyPembs182]

Ok - so I’ll apologise immediately for such a weird post! And explain why....

I’ve just moved into a flat and have no outdoor tap or electric supply. I can get round the power issue with a Ring battery pack which has a built-in inverter. Very handy piece of kit to have. But the water issue is tricky!

Does anyone else have a similar problem? Is there a non-hose solution?

You still need to have a plentiful supply of water.... I’m thinking of how many times I’d need to fill a bucket to snow foam my car!

Just buy a builders rubble bucket or something.

pressure washers don't require a water supply with any pressure. You can run them from a bucket if need be.

But it would empty that bucket very quickly surely?

not as fast as you think, I've done it a few times. Yes you have to keep it topped up but you can get the job done fine. Pressure washers use quite significantly less water than if you were to have a hose running. Increased pressure doesn't necessarily equate to increased volume

There’s this on amazon same price as a pressure washer tho

I use a 25 litre fermenting bin. The only time I use mains water is to rinse off the car.

The trouble with using that instead of a pressure washer is that it’s the pressure washer rinse that actually gets the dirt off after using snow foam.

snow foamers are a pain, get some Reset in a nice warm bucket

I bought a 25 litre water bottle from a caravan shop and a connecting hose from Karcher...
