AR383 Pressure Washer Foam Cannon Retrofit

Hey Guys,

I know there are several of you that are in the same boat as I am in regards to using a foam cannon with this pressure washer. I finally got to try out this PW today after two months of just sitting around in my storage room unused.

I remember several of us purchased the Home Depot Power care wand kit with four adapters right? Well at this point we also know that the AR fittings are essentially unique and won't allow the four adapters to be used. Essentially guys you are gonna have to ditch the AR gun and just get another one. I went back to home depot and picked up the power care replacement gun with hose. It comes with a 25 hose (more flexible then the stock AR anyways) and you will also need a male adapter to attach to your foam cannon to the female QC on the power care wand.

This is the Power Care wand and adapter kit from Home Depot. Notice the bottom right adapter will fit with the replacement gun which is why I have it out. It just says "Other" pressure washer adapter on the package


This is the male adapter and female quick connect package i picked up as well to attach to your foam cannon of choice and to the power care wand. You will end up with an extra female end as the wand already had the female attachement.


Now just setup the pressure washer as directed and you're good to go! I will try to take more pictures of my setup this weekend when I have some free time to show the entire setup, but for now I hope this would help the rest of us that were wondering how to make it work.

Hope this helps,

Good luck Kaleo!!!! Hopefully someone can help you out!!

 

any luck with those photos? hows it working for you?

 

I am actually gonna work on my bosses nav tomorrow so I can take more pics of my setup.

To be honest I actually expected too much out of this pressure washer. It is my first actual pw, but I used one at my evening job before which was a gas powered one. I think I was kinda disappointed in the fact that it wasn't super powerful, but once I spent some time with it and actually used it I was happy with how it performed.

 

Here is the setup, AR383 to powercare brand gun and hose, connected to powercare adapter/wand kit, connected using the qc kit which is then attached to the foam cannon as shown.

 

I'm gonna have to stop by home depot to pick up the parts needed.
