Changing Your Snow Foam Gauze

Have you ever had your snow foam lance stop producing good, thick foam?

A reason for this could be the small, mesh gauze inside the head.

Follow these quick and simple steps to have your snow foam lance working like new again:

Tools required:

  • An adjustable spanner
  • A thin poking device (small screwdriver)
  • Long nose pliers (not essential but will help)
  • A new gauze 

Step 1:

Get your poking device and push the pin out of the black plastic nozzle.

See below:

With this removed now we can move on...

Step 2 :

The next step is to remove the brass stem so we can get to the gauze.

Removing this brass stem will allow you to take out the foam gauze:

This will be a 22mm spanner and turning this anti clockwise will loosen the fitting.

Step 3:

Once this is removed, get your long nose pliers and pull out the mesh gauze inside:

It's usually this part which becomes clogged either by soap scum and/or hard water residue. If your lance is losing it's efficiency but isn't leaking, it is most likely going to be the gauze that needs replaced.

Step 4:

The final step is to now reassemble your snow foam lance.

This is a very inexpensive and not very time consuming task to do. Doing this will keep your lance working like new and producing the foam that it should be.
