Title: new jet wash little help please
Post by: jonnyturbo on 01 February 2012, 17:50
Well just picked up the archer 2.21 with salt removal  package  brand new for £60. It comes with the  foam lance but has a small bottle. Is there a big bottle available?  Or is there some sort of adaptor so I can connect my bosch snow foam lance thanks

which bottle did you get? the yellow of grey one?

i have the grey one and it works well with snow foam though you need it set to max to get any decent foam out of it

Little grey one . How do hou set it to max? Do you use the snow foam neat as there iis not much room in the  little archer bottle or do you still dilute it like you do with the snow foam lance

ah sorry there is a little grey one (300ml) and a larger 600ml one with a control knob on top.

i have the 600ml one and i put about 200ml snow foam and fill the rest with hot water. its just about enough to do one car. i guess the proper 1 litre lances would be better but the karcher 600ml one isn't bad at all

i think you can just change the end to a karcher type
