Quick follow up to my Active 2.3 Pressure Washer video to note some things about hoses, foam cannon orifice sizes and foam quality based on those sizes.
Thanks again to everyone who watched and commented on the initial video. Hope this helps add some additional info for those considering the Active 2.3.
Thanks for watching!

Active ROCKS! Love that machine. We use it frequently

@jgo.m3 Ай бұрын

Definitely! It's a hell of an upgrade from my Karcher.

I used a 1.4mm orfice on my mjjc s v3.0 and got thicker foam on my active 2.3 than the given 1.45mm orfice while keeping it under 15amps. (14.7 amps, to be exact).

@jgo.m3 19 күн бұрын

Where'd you get it? I just picked up a 1.5mm from Obsessed Garage for my second foam cannon (I have the 1.45 in the other) but yeah if the 1.4 is under 15A I'd probably prefer that.

@joncepeda5151 18 күн бұрын

@@jgo.m3 I got it on Amazon. It's listed as Mro max 1.4mm orfirce.

@RussellKasem Ай бұрын

It seems the recommendation for steel braided hoses comes from how a non-steel braided hose can expand slightly under pressure. When you release the trigger the hose is under pressure, if the hose flexes, the pressure in the hose may drop enough for the pressure switch to cause the unit to surge to re-pressurize the hose.

@jgo.m3 Ай бұрын

Yeah that makes sense, although in the case of this unit it doesn't happen. Maybe there's some internal function to counter that, but even during frequent start/stop use (like doing wheels) it's always a smooth start up.

@VienNguyen-up1oc Ай бұрын

I used this pressure washer with 1.45 orifice & MJJC Pro foam cannon . The foam i must say is a bit runny for my liking

@jgo.m3 Ай бұрын

One thing I forgot to mention was that I felt like the 1.45 aerated a bit better than the 1.25 but yeah, it's not as thick. What kind of soap did you use?

@VienNguyen-up1oc Ай бұрын

I used CG sticky snow ball , 3 oz foam seem a bit better less runny

@huntermiller7695 Ай бұрын

I strive for this foam. Sadly I have annoying well water. And trying to get this foam I need a DI system or a filter to just reduce my TDS so I can get this kind of foam. One day I swear I will have this foam lol.

@jgo.m3 Ай бұрын

I can't recommend the CR Spotless system enough when it comes to DI. Our TDS levels plus direct sun make washes pretty difficult, but that system is as good as the reviews say it is. 👍

@whitegoodman7465 Ай бұрын

How is the noise from the 2.3 without the cage mounted in the garage?

@jgo.m3 Ай бұрын

It's definitely loud if you run it in a typical 1-2 car garage. If you're outside with the unit inside though, it doesn't seem any louder than if it were outside with you (which, to me, isn't that loud). As for cage mounted vs sitting on a shelf, I doubt you'd be able to tell the difference over the sound of the unit.

@InTheZone85 Ай бұрын

When you leave your system on and pressurized, without using the gun does it occasionally surge like once every 20 or 30 seconds?

@jgo.m3 Ай бұрын

Nah, haven't experienced that

@NyTonyF Ай бұрын

I run the 1.5mm orifice on my MTM PF22 and the foam is a little thicker. I’m using DYI Detail Incredible Suds and Adam’s Mega Foam.

@jgo.m3 Ай бұрын

Interesting.. I love GSF but I might give those a try. Do you use them interchangeably or for specific purposes?

@NyTonyF Ай бұрын

@@jgo.m3 I was running out of the Megafoam and ordered the Incredible Suds to try out. Looks like I’ll be sticking with the Incredible Suds. 👍🏽

@NyTonyF Ай бұрын

@@jgo.m3I ordered the Incredible Suds because I was running out of the Mega Foam. I’ll be sticking with the Incredible Suds, it seems to pull off the dirt better. I am going to miss the smell of the Mega Foam though lol

@UncleChester Ай бұрын

First time coming across your videos. You spent a lot of time talking about the last videos that I didn't see. Save that for the end

@jgo.m3 Ай бұрын

Yeah, I think I tend to think of these videos as a continuation of the last one, but I see how that might not flow well for the audience. Valid point.. appreciate the feedback 🍻

@cue03 Ай бұрын

What did you do with the factory supplied hose from the Active 2.3? Are you interested in selling it?

@jgo.m3 Ай бұрын

Sure man, hit up my email and shoot me an offer.

@davewallace9048 Ай бұрын

Should’ve just stepped it up and bought the Kranzel

@johnnelwhite Ай бұрын

Definitely not worth the risk of damaging the pump. I went from a karcher k1700 to the active 2.0. The first thing I did was find the box my pf22 came in and swapped the 1.1 for the 1.25. Even though I'm on a dedicated 20amp circuit I'm not risking it.

@jgo.m3 Ай бұрын

Agreed. There's still plenty of foam with the correct size 👍
