Well, gee whiz. The foamer Mark2 has is made by an American outfit, the Hydro Systems Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. Go figure.

Not only do they make the hose-end foamers but also compressed air foamers and a huge number of other dispensing, metering and application products for a variety of industries. Very cool.

Yes, it's a quality product, I can recommend it

Hey Craig,

OK, this is a bit convoluted.

Since the foam gun's not a stock item from KBC's catalog they would have to order it. To order it they need SG's part# for it and since SG's website doesn't give part#s for their products (only names) I had to call SG.

SG gave me part# 13291 for the Multi-Dilution Foamer. In theory, given this part#, any SG industrial distributor could order it.

I'll check with KBC for price and delivery and PM you with the results.

Some people also mentioned in the past that the Karcher power washers have a foamer attachment. I was trying to find the thread about it here, but was unsuccessful.

Note that the washing-technique concepts for the foam-lance for pressure washers and the foamgun are different...

The foamgun produces a "frothy suds", not real foam, and this is exactly what you want for the "dislodge and flush" approach to washing. The handling characteristics of the foamgun (as opposed to a lance on a pressure washer) also seem IMO more appropriate for facilitating lubrication at point of contact, which is the means of reducing wash-induced marring.
