Hmmm thats a good idea🤔 I supposed that would work as long as the soap is diluted enough to keep the same water pressure through the holes.

Plus that one takes at least 2 weeks to come in! When u could go to your local hardware store and pay a fraction of the cost and have it built it less than a day

You know those weed killers that screw on to the hose and mix with water. Get an empty one, wash it, then fill it with soap. It will mix the soap into the water and allow you to not just blow the soap out of it.

I was looking online at similar products and saw how expensive they were and figured there has to be a way that I can make my own at a fraction of the cost and WALAH! You cant go wrong with PVC which is dirt cheap and is strong and lasts forever!
