The Hotsy Foam Cannon: what you need to know

Do you have a tough cleaning job that you need to get through? When washing stubborn grit and grime off trucks, tractors or other heavy equipment, often a standard spray nozzle doesn’t do the trick. What’s needed is a Hotsy Foam Cannon! Keep reading to learn more about this effective pressure-washing accessory.
What is the Hotsy Foam Cannon?
This washing accessory from Hotsy attaches onto your pressure washer wand in place of the nozzle and shoots out detergent foam as thick as shaving cream. This thick blanket of foam adheres to all surfaces, wet or dry, allowing the detergent to work longer and more effectively. As the foam bubbles expand and burst, the cleaning agents cut into and break down dirt and grime.
The Foam Cannon is simple to take on and off the wand and attaches to all hot or cold Hotsy pressure washers with a water pressure of 3,000 PSI and under.
Uses for the Hotsy Foam Cannon
If you work with vehicles and equipment that accumulate tough-to-get-rid-of grit and grime, you would undoubtedly benefit from adding a Hotsy Foam Cannon to your cleaning arsenal. Here are just a few of the industries where this accessory comes in handy.
- Farming. For use on dirty tractors, balers, combines, ploughs, mowers and more.
- Construction. For use on equipment at muddy construction sites with caked-on dirt and grime.
- Oil and mining. For use on equipment that has accumulated oil residue or other tough-to-clean substances.
- Transportation. For use on vehicle fleets (trucks, freighters, buses, rail cars and so forth) that have collected a coat of dust, dirt and salt out on the road.
How to use the Hotsy Foam Cannon
The Foam Cannon is extremely easy to use. Simply fill the detergent reservoir with Hotsy detergent, attach the accessory to the nozzle and get cleaning. The pressure stream will mix the detergent with air and water, producing a foam that reaches a thirty-foot radius. Thoroughly cover the surface you’re cleaning with the foam and then rinse with your pressure washer.
