kids at a foam party

When purchasing a foam machine for the equipment rental company many questions arise:

What is it? The foam solution is similar to a high grade shampoo or bubble bath. It does not harm the skin, eyes, or respiratory system any more than regular water does. The grass is not harmed by the foam solution any more than it is harmed by regular water.

How do you clean the foam up after the event? The foam starts as water and it goes back to water. When using the foam outside there is no clean-up. It simply goes away on it’s own. When running the foam inside (not recommended) there should be lots and lots of water left over after the foam machine event. The clean-up activity is similar to a clean-up activity after a large amount of water is left inside a venue.

How long does the foam last? The foam lasts for a few minutes after being produced as long as the wind is minimal or non-existent and nobody touches  the foam. If people play in (touch) the foam then it goes away very quickly.

Does the machine run the entire event? The foam machine runs as long as required to keep the foam level at a safe and comfortable level for party goers.

What do you do with it? The foam machine is used for dance parties, scavenger hunts, bubble themed parties, obstacle courses, program activities, photo opportunities, and much more.

What’s it for? The foam is for f-u-n fun!

How does it work? The foam is pushed (with air) through a filter. It comes out of the filter in the form of foam bubbles. It is dispensed similarly to the way water pumps out of a faucet.

With the ease of internet access, it is very simple and affordable to create a marketing campaign to sell foam machine and foam party rentals to customers in your area.

What do you charge for a rental? Rental prices vary depending on what part of the country the events occur in. In Austin and central Texas the rate is around $349 for the first hour and as little as $145 for each additional hour and as much as $300 for each additional hour of foam rental time.

Is it safe? The foam machine plug and water pump are UL rated. The solution is food grade, all natural and environmentally safe.

Does it come with an attendant? An attendant is not necessary. Most foam party rentals do come with an attendant to set-up, run, and take the foam machine equipment away.

Is the foam pit necessary? No, the inflatable foam party pit with the removable bottom is not necessary. Outside, the removable bottom is not recommended. Inside, the removable floor is recommended to contain the water. If the wind is blowing outside, the pit is recommended to contain the foam. It is recommended to charge extra for the inflatable foam pit rental.

How much power does it use? The blower for the foam pit uses as many as 5 amps. The foam machine uses up to 7 amps. The water pump uses up to 4.5 amps.

Is there a warranty? Different foam machines come with different warranties. The New Deal Foam machine comes with a 5 year limited warranty. The Bubble Blaster 3000 comes with a 1 year limited warranty. The El Jefe Foam Machine comes with a 1 year limited warranty.
