I have a couple questions about my foam brush setup.

See picture:

What air pressure do I set the air at? Currently at 60 psi

My foam doesn't look foamy it is more liquid than foam.



What do I need to do?

You might need to increase the strength of the chemical. 60 PSI is way too high for the air. I run it 15-20 PSI.

I bought the soap from Carwash Superstore.

It feeds into a 55 gal drum ( Mixes ) the mixture is 200/1

To me 200:1 seems too weak. Is the 60 psi on the air coming into the Flojet or the air injection?

Yes. We were there today and changed out a few things and still getting more liquid than foam.

Did you try adding some product to the tank to see if it's too weak?

Can you post a video of it running? A picture doesn't help much.

I did not today but it wasn't much different than the picture I posted earlier.

Do you have a foam generator in line?

Make your product stronger. I had same issue, & received the same advice on here. Tried it & that worked.

Is this just in a single bay or all your bays at the wash look like this?
