Great questions! You pre-empted some of what I was responding to in the post right below yours.

IIRC, the minimum specifications for the pressure washer are:
- 2.0 GPM or above
- 2500psi or greater
- "Standard" wand for the foamer attachment (most gas-powered PWs use the ones compatible with the foamer attachment, while the electric PWs use another type of wand)

I'll dig through Autopia later to find the relevant threads. If you're too antsy to wait, feel free to go to Autopia and search for "foam cannon" - there are many results!
