Adam's Premium Foam Cannon

[Resjudicata22]

So I left soap in my foam cannon for over a month while we were out on vacation. And now it's clogged up beyond belief. 

It's definitely my fault and I probably need to completely disassemble it. 

But any suggestions on how to fix it?

New parts? Clean it? Fix it, toss it out?  New cannon?

 

Any suggestions welcome.

You are not the first to forget to clean a cannon or gun (let me rephrase: cannon and gun)... In both cases Adam's All Purpose Cleaner came to the rescue and then I ran some pretty heavy Strip Wash through the the cannon.  For the APC bath, I put it in the cannon and kept shaking it up to get the crusty parts freed up.  Once the crust came off, then I was able to connect it to the pressure washer and run a bunch of water through it, followed by some strip wash.   I'm not sure the strip wash was needed, but I felt better doing so.

 

The Foam Gun was easier to deal with since it was not clogged and I used the same method of putting some APC in it, shaking it multiple times and then finally connecting the hose and letting it run.

Thanks. I didn't separate, but I think the gun is okay, just the cannon. 

 

I'll field strip the foam and separate pieces.  Then soak them in the APC. 

 

Thanks.
