Got a potentially daft question. Bought a snow foam lance to replace the standard detergent lance for my Bosch AQT120. The pressure washer does 120bar max, and 350l/h flow. I need a 4% dilution through the lance, but it seems the lance is using a very small amount from the bottle, whilst outputting a lot of water.
I did two tests, I need to do more still, so this is still a WIP.
First test, I opend the valve on top to max + (counterclockwise) it was 2 and a half turns from fully closed. This gives the lowest rate of solution to water through the lance yes? It used 100ml of solution and generated 9litres into a bucket, which would make 90litres per 1l of solution right? This seems an incredible amount, but OK, I did have the valve fully open.
Second test was half open, 1.25 turns from fully closed, this used 100ml of solution and generated 6.5l which makes 65l per 1l bottle. Again, seems to be a massive amount, a lot of other people are saying 15-20l per 1l of solution.
My last test at some point will be using the lance fully closed to see what that yields.
There must be something I'm doing wrong? I have the spray on the lance to a very wide settings, one I would be using on the car.
