Pressure Washer help Please

**Katiescar** · 01-09-2002, 03:57 PM

Weather here in Pgh. is supposed to warm up here next week - to 40 - 42. Want to order some bf to try on myt black truck. Will that be warm enough? Will colder weather make it more diff. to apply/remove?

Thanks

I called CMA about this earlier and they said any temperature above 40F.

I put on 4 coats when it was 38 out and had no problems!

It is a predominantly water based product, so any temp near 32 F or 0 C would be bad.

I have owned a Karcher HD 525S unit for several years. It has gotten very light use. I ordered a foam cannon from Karcher and it arrived with NPT thread (National Pipe thread). The wand is metric and I have no idea what size it is. I called to complain and they said that the HD525 was produced by karcher before it was purchased by C-Tec and they dont have that information. I explained that the reason I purchased the items from them was bc it wanted it to fit the HD525 perfectly.

Where can I get the correct coupler? I am not even sure what size the Metric side is?

Thanks,

Jeff

Have you try your local home improvement store or hardware store to see if they have any adapter`s to fit it? Maybe even a local vendor that sells pressure washers might help.

I know that Walmart sells Karcher.

Guy`s Thanks very much. I hate to admit this but it was in the box under all the packing peanuts. I am standing in the Hardware store with my 12 year old and I have the wand in one hand and he has the box the foam cannon came in. We are trying all types of fittings with the sales person, and NONE fit. he says, Dad, what`s this, look like what you need. It fit. Gotta Love kids. The packing slip say`s Foam Cannot kit, so i guess I am in the clear. Getting up early to get rolling.

I think that can be arranged.

I can only imaging how you felt when that happened!

I`m glad it worked itself out for you.

you ll love the foam cannon... some people foam down and let it soften up the dirt rinse down then two bucket wash. others soap, rinse soap down and hand wash, then rinse.. see which way works best for you and have fun.
