Snow foam lance with a small pressure washer?

[NDT]

I've got a crappy little Bosch pressure washer which claims to give 5l/min at 85-100bar.
Is this enough to run a snow foam lance?

Why do you think it wouldn't be?
It's the pressure that makes the foam and not the ammout of water

I use the little Bosch unit. I think it’s a great pressure washer. I’ve tried two Karcher units and both conked out within eighteen months. The Bosch is still going strong. It’s so light and easily carried to where I need it and the pressure is fine for a quick maintenance wash every few weeks. And you’ll be fine with snow foam.

Some of the lances I've seen on Amazon specify a flow rate - about twice what my washer can deliver.

I can't fault mine really - it must be 15+ years old and still going. Just a little on the weedy side, but I can't really justify a new one while this is still going!
