Foamer Material and how much to install.

[DiamondWash]

I just helped another owner with a foaming problem on his system, he had so much of his foamer chamber packed with stainless steel scrunchie material that it literally destroyed all of the check valves from the back pressure, so my question is this "what should be the amount of scrunchie material installed" to make a good foam.

Knowing that some of the trifoam chemicals eat stainless steel, I'd use nylon ones.

All systems are a little different, but here are the Twist N Kleen units made by Mr. Foamer.

Should be a good starting reference. Scroll through the various photos- there are closeups that show a nice picture.

I don't have anything srubby pads in my foamers. If you build them right you don't need all that extra stuff.

We were worrking on his WW equipment and the old nylon material disintegrated in each trifoam pod so he replaced it with Stainless steel material BUT packed to much in each that eventually it was making problems upstream.

Stainless will slowly deteriorate like Mep said. I went through that earlier this year.

I think if you do it right - for the SS, no foamers needed. T'd at the boom has 25' =/- of hose and brush handle to move thru and create foam. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/QJxXj1TbEB0

I'm like Earl, I don't use any foamer material .. I just tee the air into the liquid just before the boom and it foams great. I'm only talking foam brush though, I don't use the SS triple foam.
