Johnson Diversey Crew[tm] Shower, Tub & Tile Foam Gun



Item #: JW-4608

Johnson Diversey Crew[tm] Shower, Tub & Tile Foam Gun

Hose-end pistol-grip gun for dispensing Crew[tm] Shower, Tub & Tile Cleaner in gallons.



for that price, it's probably a real foam gun like the gilmour. the only difference is like i stated, it doesn't have a quick disconnect towards the top which isn't a big deal, but other than you'll be fine. also, let's not confuse this with the foam cannon that you hook up to a pressure washer, those you can't use while you wash like you can with a regular foam gun...

p.s. can you take a pic of the top of your foam gun?

Looks just like this one that you posted, minus the QD.

I just need to work on adjusting my foam. I am happy with my foam, but I think I could have a lot more. I will try mixing equal parts of water.

if you want LOTS of foam, fill the canister with straight soap. as i've mentioned before, the EO1 car wash (i've found it to work better than most other car wash's) is excellent when used with the foam gun, and i've still gotten good amounts of foam when i've added water to about let's say 3-4oz's of the EO1 car wash (also, give it a good shake as well) in the canister. give it a try, it's only around $5 a jug...
 
I use Megs, I have soft water, should that make a difference. I only use about 2oz of soap. I will use more next time.

i've used megs, turtle wax, and many other car wash's and the EO1 has worked the best with the foam gun IME. i've gotten foam like this...

What Meg's are you using? Just wondering if something like Hyper Wash with a 400:1 dilution rate would help.

I sent you a paypal. Thanks!



I will get to it when I get home. I am at work for the next 1.5 hours. It will be in the mail first thing monday.
 
I agree with BigAl that EO1 is the way to go for a foam gun if you want OTC. I haven't tried straight soap, because that could shorten the life of LSP's. However, I use about 4 oz of soap and 6-8 oz of water and shake it and have gotten foam just as thick as in BigAl's pics.
 
also, make sure to to tighten the little screws on the top and side of the brass meter as they occasionally become loose. you do not want to lose those!

Or better yet, use a dab of blue LockTite. Just watch you don't inadvertently plug up the siphon hole on the top screw.



If you lose the mixing bar retaining screw it isn't all *that* serious, the bar fits pretty snugly and won't just fall out. Better not to lose 'em though...
