Back-End Employee Training
Foam Party Setup & Operations
Everything a new team member needs to confidently set up, run, and
break down our Foam Daddy HD Pro Stacker cannons. Work through the
sections in order — by the time you finish the maintenance
section, you should be cleared to run a cannon on your own.

01
Mounting the Cannon
Start here. Before anything else, know how the HD Pro Stacker physically attaches to its stand.
#4
Mounting the HD Pro Stacker Foam Cannon
Direct link: vimeo.com/796452156
Walks you through mounting the cannon to its stand. Watch this before your first solo setup —
knowing how the cannon attaches, locks, and swivels keeps you safe and dramatically speeds up your
arrival-to-first-foam time on site.
02
Mixing the Foam Solution
The solution is the job. Get the ratio wrong and the whole event suffers — get it right and the cannon basically runs itself.
#8
How To Mix Solution
Direct link: vimeo.com/796466614
The standard procedure for mixing foam concentrate with water. This is the core recipe every event uses.
Memorize the ratio before your first event — don't eyeball it, don't guess. Measure.
#9
How to Mix UV-Color Foam
Direct link: vimeo.com/796472418
Same base procedure as video #8, but with UV-reactive color concentrate added. Use this whenever the
contract calls for glow or color foam. Mixing order and quantities matter more here — UV color is
more sensitive to ratio than the standard mix.
#20
Super Fast Solution Mix
Direct link: vimeo.com/812428968
A streamlined mix technique for tight turnarounds and back-to-back events. This is an optimization,
not a shortcut — only use this once you've got the standard mix from video #8 down cold.
03
How the Machine Works
Understanding what's happening inside the cannon makes on-site troubleshooting dramatically faster.
#10
How A Foam Machine Works
Direct link: vimeo.com/796474862
A plain-language breakdown of how concentrate, water, and air combine to create foam.
If you know how the system works, you can diagnose a bad output on site in seconds instead of minutes.
Dunk Tank Co. Setup Note:
The video shows a single trash can as the solution reservoir — we do not run that setup.
At Dunk Tank Co. we run two 55-gallon barrels instead.
Each barrel holds enough mixed solution to run one cannon for roughly 30 minutes per gallon
of mixed solution. Plan your mix and barrel staging around that math when you quote runtime to a client on site.
04
Event Set-Up
Two setup models depending on the job — Rental (customer runs it) and Full Service (we run it).
#11
Quick Start Simple Set-Up (Rental Model)
Direct link: vimeo.com/796476686
The fast, no-frills setup we use for drop-off rentals — cannon, hose, solution, customer walkthrough, go.
Watch this if the job is a customer-run rental rather than a staffed event.
#12
Professional Set-Up (Full Service Model)
Direct link: vimeo.com/796479015
The full-service setup for staffed events. More steps than the rental setup: positioning, safety zones,
hose management, and professional presentation. This is the standard for every Dunk Tank Co. staffed job.
#13
Professional Full Service Set-Up — Walk-Through
Direct link: vimeo.com/796481030
A real-time walk-through of a full-service setup from arrival to first foam. Watch this right after video #12
for a complete picture of what a staffed event looks like from the moment you park to the moment you pour.
05
Running the Party
Once the cannon is producing, your job is to keep output consistent and the area safe for the full run.
#14
Foam Production Overview
Direct link: vimeo.com/796484193
How to actually run the cannon once setup is done — reading the output, adjusting flow, keeping the
solution topped off, and maintaining foam quality for the full duration of the booked run.
06
Glow-Color Parties
Our upgrade package. Different setup, different solution, same cannon.
#17
Glow-Color Party Overview & Attaching Lights
Direct link: vimeo.com/796492248
How to transform a standard foam party into a glow event — mounting the UV lights to the cannon,
positioning them for the venue, and pairing with the UV-Color solution mix from video #9.
07
Maintenance
Proper maintenance is the number-one factor in equipment lifespan. Skipping this is not optional.
#16
Machine Maintenance
Direct link: vimeo.com/796494548
End-of-event breakdown, flushing, cleaning, and storage. A cannon that isn't cleaned the same day
loses its lifespan fast — and an unclean cannon at the next event is a broken cannon at the next event.
