Looking for a way to inject detergent into a pressure washer that will spray from the wand at high pressure.

There’s two completely different gadgets shown in this thread, I use both depending on situation. The injector from the first post runs chemical/soap through the high pressure line and out the conventional pressure washer wand. The soap goes on like water and mostly sheets off.

A foam cannon replaces the nozzle on the end and injects air along with soap to spray low pressure foam with lots of lather. It sticks to the surfaces for a lot longer.

Neither will work well generally with small 120v electric washers, because they don’t generate the pressure and flow rates required. When I use one, I break out the big gas powered washer.

I have seen reports of people making a cannon work with less flow by replacing the orifice inside with a smaller one. I haven’t tried it.
The primary focus of the discussion is about a soap inductor. I’ve got the foam cannon stuff figured out, and even though my pressure washer doesn’t put out that much volume of water, that foam cannon I bought, like I was telling somebody else, came with two different orifices which actually does make it work pretty good.
