We have been selling foam fluid and foam machines for many years now. At one time we made our own foam machines to sale. We stopped that because it was just to much getting parts and so on. The foam fluid we still make ourselves.

Lets talk more about the machines........ We started out with the quarter horse carpet blower at first and stepped it up to the 1 horse. 1 horse are a little harder to find but it does help produce more foam. Its not rocket science to building a machine but there are few things you have to do or it just will not foam right. You can buy those "build it yourself" deals online. Those show you the basic stuff that will produce foam but not really what a real foam machine should do for high output. Not saying you can't build one at all. Anyone with mechanical mind can probably make one but is it worth the time? Running all over to find this part or that part. Now that didn't work lets go get more stuff. It can take a lot of time and money running around over and over. Just saying it might be worth the few hundred more to buy one.

Awesome II Foam Machine

We do offer the Awesome Foam Machine. It is made here  local and have to say it is a better machine then we ever built. High output of foam like you would not believe. Not here to convince you to buy ours, just telling you it is worth the money. A lot of time was put in to making it do what it does. It also uses far less fluid then any we have seen so far and still produce a huge amount of foam. So just saying you get what you pay for. You see one for couple hundred, you get what you pay for.

Now lets talk some about the foam fluid. Like stated earlier we do make our own fluid right here. We are always testing new solutions to try to better but so far we have stayed with the same mix for several years. One thing we have seen now and again is someone will call and say not foaming good.

Ok first off what kind of machine to do you? Home made? Friend made? Bought used frrom somebody? How did you mix fluid? What size drum? Was it a clean drum? Is it a 30 gallon trash can or 55 gallon drum? Did you stir the fluid really good? What is your water source? City or well?

Some will turn out to be the home made machine that they should just use as it was meant to be, a carpet blower, and then some it can turn out to be the water source. The harder the water the less foam you will get. Well water is about the hardest you can get. Depending on where you are even the city water can be very hard. The softer the better. Have had to tell some people to put a couple caps of the Calgon water softner and that took care of the problem.

There are many fluids and machines on the market today. Just do a little homework before you buy. Make sure it is an outfit that has been around. Not a "I don't know" on an auction site. Here today and gone tomorrow.

Foam Parties are great fun! When inside just keep in mind you are dealing with mostly water. You do it on a wood floor say goodbye to it. You will worp the floor. Concrete floor with drains, a foam pit or even outside you will have less to worry with.

This is a big ticket for clubs across the country or even world for that matter. Just have to remember "water" it is going to go somewhere. Need to cover outlets and speakers if near floor. Just give things a thought before hand and remember the "water". Also would recommend having a rinse station near by. No matter how safe you have everything there is always that one. Some people can't eat peanut butter and some people might have problems with soaps. Nothing is ever 100%, just saying.

So hopefully this has given a little insight to a foam party. Just give it some thought , have a plan and everyone will have a great time!
