Single Soap Wash System: The Foaminator
Pairing our Single Soap Wash System with our custom lance (The Foaminator) is the ultimate combo that will speed up your wash time saving you time and money. Make swapping attachments, dealing with foam cannons, and using buckets a thing of the past.
What's Included:
- The Foaminator Wash/Rinse Lance
- ST-160 single injector
- Stainless J hooks for wall mounting storage of your gun (2 hooks)
- Braided soap hose (5 feet)
- Stainless MEG (rinse) tip custom fitted for your GPM / PSI (1 tip)
- Internal foam nozzle custom fitted for your GPM / PSI (1 nozzle)
- Premium soap draw tubes with mesh screen (1 draw tube)
- Metering tips for precisely diluting your soap (1 bag, 6 pc)
Please note Image Wash Products will call you after placing your order to get information such as PSI and GPM from your pressure washer prior to building your order. These injectors and foam heads are custom built to work optimally with your exact pressure washer so we will need specifications to proceed with building your system. In order to make full use of these systems a pressure washer with a minimum of 2.5 GPM is required.
How It Works:
Thanks to science these downstream injectors change the pressure in the lines which draw soap right out of the bottle straight into your selected gun and comes out perfectly diluted every time.
- 3/8" SS Male Plug
- 3/8" SS Female Socket
- Chemical Pick Up Tub Barb (Inlet)
- Dosing Nozzle
Selecting Your Nozzle:
To do this you will need to select the orifice that is right for your pressure washer based on its PSI and GPM. Once you have your PSI/GPM you can use the chart below to select the right nozzle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What injector does the Single Soap Wash System use?
It uses the Suttner ST-160 single-chemical downstream injector with 3/8" stainless quick connects. Already have your own gun and lance? The Suttner ST-160 Single Soap Downstream Injector is also sold on its own.
Does soap run through my pressure washer pump?
No. The ST-160 injects soap downstream of the pump, so harsh chemicals never pass through it.
What size pressure washer do I need?
A pressure washer with at least 2.5 GPM. We call after every order to get your PSI and GPM and size the foam nozzle and rinse tip to your machine.
Can I run a two-step touchless soap?
The single system draws one chemical at a time. For two-step soaps, choose the Dual Soap Wash System or the Dual Soap Injector System with Hi-Lo Wash Lance. You can also pre-mix, see our downstream injector guide.
Why isn't my injector drawing soap?
Make sure the Foaminator is in foam (low-pressure) mode, the draw tube and strainer are clear, and there are no air leaks at the barb. Flush the injector with clean water after each use.
Which Image Wash chemicals run through this system?
These setups come from our Soap System Calculator. Enter your pressure washer's PSI and GPM there to get the exact metering tip for each chemical.
| Chemical | Setup at the injector | Polish-safe |
|---|---|---|
| Touchless 1 | Pre-mix 1:1 | Yes |
| Touchless 2 | Pre-mix 1:1 | Yes |
| Touchless Pro 1 | Pre-mix 1 part to 1.5 water | Yes |
| Total Brite 2 | Pre-mix 1 part to 1.5 water | Yes |
| Touchless Pro 100 | Straight | Yes |
| Total Brite 200 | Straight | Yes |
| Conquer 1 | Straight | Yes |
| Conquer 100 | Straight | Yes |
| Total Brite 1 | Pre-mix 1:1 | No |
| Alum-Brite Lite | Straight | No |
| All Purpose Degreaser | Pre-mix 1:1 | Yes |
| Pink Power | Pre-mix 1 part to 2.4 water | No |
| Single Step | Straight | No |
| Single Step Lite | Straight | No |
| Platinum Wash | Straight | Yes |

| Wax Replacement | Pre-mix 1 part to 4 water | Yes |
Not for soap injectors: Bug Remover, Iron Remover, Quick Detailer, Interior Detailer and Tire Shine Pro are sprayer products. Polished Aluminum Cleaner needs a stronger mix (15:1) than an injector delivers.
Soap system FAQs
How do I pick the right metering tip?
Enter your pressure washer's PSI and GPM in our Soap System Calculator. It shows which tip each chemical needs on your machine. Every system is built in Hudsonville, MI and sized to your pressure washer, so call 616.777.7175 if you have questions.
Can I run a touchless 2-step with a single soap system?
A single soap system draws one chemical at a time. For a 2-step wash without swapping draw tubes, step up to our Dual Soap Injector System.
Do I have to pre-mix my soap?
Some chemicals run straight from the drum and some need a pre-mix, as shown in the chart above. Pre-mixing gets concentrates to the right strength for the injector's draw.
Can I run acid brighteners through it?
Alum-Brite Lite and Total Brite 1 appear in the calculator for injector use. They are not polish-safe and contain hydrofluoric acid, so read the SDS, use acid-resistant equipment where called for, and always follow with a high-pH Step 2.
