A few things, how many GPM is your pressure washer putting out? Best way to test it is to spray straight water from your cannon into an empty bucket for one minute and then weigh the difference between and empty and filled bucket. One gallon is approximately 8.34 lbs so do the math and you should know your GPM. If your GPM is low, like 1.2 or lower then I’d try the 1.1 orifice. But be aware, depending on the amperage draw of your PW that small of an orifice could over amp your circuit and trip the breaker.Well I gave it another go today. About half the amount of soap I normally use in the cannon and a little less in the bucket. Unfortunately the foam production was very minimal, even with the cannon cranked to max foam. I'm going to try again this weekend . I think part of the foam production issue might be my inlet jet. I'm going to step down to the 1.1 and see if that produces better.
Part of that maybe an issue with leaving leftover residue on the vehicle as well. It seems like the lower foam produced today had me running into a drying issue while using the mit during the brand wash. I'll have to experiment some more this weekend.
As far as the water goes, I don't remember what the test showed years ago other than I have very hard water. But I installed my water softener a out 8 years ago, so im notnsure if that would be an issue.
which reminds me, what foam canon are you using?
