Snow foam lance

[zafturbo]

I am totally fed up trying to get my old foam lance to work so what’s the best one to use now and where is the cheapest to buy from .have orchard snowfoam and anachem so I don’t need a package just the lance will do unless it’ works out cheaper to take a lance and foam .

Hopefully no issues piggy backing this one.... I have a karcher and I have been looking at a lance ifsomeone can recommend one too.

@zafturbo whats wrong with your foam lance?

Mine wasn't foaming right for a few weeks, was ready to chuck it and buy a new one, but some great advice from @Mark315 saved it

 

[Davey@Procar]

i am out of stock again cant keep enuff lances recently, I normally keep the pa Italian lances or another brand that's cheaper but made in Italy aswell, due this week or next.

I use the Cleantec one myself.

With @Big Pimp 's snowfoam.

I think when they stop foaming there's a gause or something you can replace.

Aye YouTube guide on splitting cleaning and rebuilding if you can be bothered... mine clogged again a few weeks later so just got a new one off Davy... couldn’t complain I’d had the last one about eight years of constant use 2-3 times a week usually

 

[bigsigh]

I got a £10 one off eBay and it does the job the very best

I have the Autobrite HD Lances in stock, £39, Karcher and Nilfisk attachments only though.

Doing exactly that ,not foaming .i have had I stripped and cleaned but it’s still no use .doing my head in it is.

Did you replace the little gauze filter. They are only about a fiver and make a massive difference if your old one has become clogged.

That’s exactly the prob with them. Some of the chemicals can clog them, we’ve not had any issues with Glimmerman or Anachem stuff, but we did with other products. That coupled with dirt getting into the filter too! It’s a simple gauze to strip and replace.

I use the Nilfisk ones at work and also on my trucks and have had no issues. Don’t waste time trying to clean gauze, just replace it!

Stripped mine, put all the parts including the small filter thingy in a bucket of Articulate for an hour or so. Built it up again and it's foaming better than its done in years

My first Autobrite lance lasted 6 years and was used at least once a week, I was that impressed with it I am now onto my second one, if you're not up near Woodcutters try A&R Autoparts at Ledcom as they are Autobrite stockists, they may have to order it in though as they only keep a small stock.

Ordered a new gauze for it for a whole £1.19p so will try it when it comes and if no use I will get a new one .

 

[zafturbo]

Has anyone used the ez carcare lance .its only £15 in there sale this week .

 

[brocks]

EZ’s lance is fine, they’re now basically generic...

Gauze replacement is cheap if not foaming, but try soaking in Cillit Bang to clean it first
