The FlowZone 18 volt battery backpack sprayer is an incredible piece of machinery, with lots of pressure and to pressure adjustments they modified the straps to make it even better but it has one flaw it's not design for the professional pest control operator that has to do many different spray applications and needs many adapters so I created this little inexpensive hack for under ten bucks that will solve your problem using Teejet 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch adapter a stainless steel pressure washer adapter from Northern Tool you can now use your teejet nozzle strainers and tips.

Amazing work. Keep push that content to the limit!!!
Gobbling up your podcast. Good stuff
Thank you!!
Thanks have the same problem
Hello, I am very glad to have found your video! I use Ryobi hand-held sprayer and its nozzle assembly seems like 3/8" size. I would need 1/4 to 3/8 adapter to use with TeeJet 45deg adapter (1/4"), but I haven't been able to find it after searching a lot online... Would you be able to provide me where I can find an 1/4 to 3/8 adapter? I might be just missing products on big box stores..I am new to sprayer/lawn care 😥 thank you for your help.
Can you turn the nozzles horizontal or vertical? Thanks in advanced Frank!
Great hack!! Do the Teejet orange and green color nozzles (shown- low volume, wide angle nozzles) work well with the Flowzone sprayer or do the low volume nozzles cause motor/pump to cycle in an "off and on" manner? Is droplet size acceptable and are you using the low power setting on sprayer? Great video!
Yes pump has auto shut of for presure, since we do lots of shrub spray and lawn spray along with general exterior perimeters we change out the nozzles depending on application.
Thanks for this video! I have a Strom which is basically the same thing and I wanted to find a better tip for blanket lawn applications. Where can I get the T-jet tips?
there is a link in the video notes to my blog where their are links to all the products
check out gci academy he made a nozzle just for strom
thanks....I think AI nozzles would be a great addition to that set up
sir.....do you know the size of quick disconnect on gun 11/16 Etc. thanx wanna get cyclone model
its 1/4 inch go to the link in the video all the parts are on my blog with links to every part
Nice! Did you use a gasket at the very tip or no??
Nope just cap tightened well
Can you use flow zone for mosquitoes control?
You could just have to use it at high pressure with a yellow nozzle, it all depends on the landscape how dense it is.
Hey frank do you use high rates or low rates of chemical when you do service
Like right now I use cykick should I use the 1 oz per gallon or 2 oz per gallon for general pest control? You think 1 oz is good enough for spiders?
it depends what type of application you are doing, and how fast you can move, what tip you have. For instance, if im doing a perimeter with Termidor at 3% i would use my red tip at 1, if im spraying a lawn i would use the same tip at 2.

Just a B&G sprayer INSIDE baseboards on the high fan spray setting
(I walk fast)
Hey Frank. How are you man? What tip are you using for exterior of homes? Are you switching to get the eaves? Is one battery enough for the day? Any other advise you can share using this backpack sprayer? I purchased the handguns, the wands, etc. Looking forward to using them in the field. Peace Brother
Hey Monty using red for most exterior you an swtch to yellow and blue for most eaves at low presure
@@pestgeekpodcastpestcontrol4795 You da man brother
When you ready to do some consulting for us?
by changing the amount of chemical it won't mess up the compressor ?
i have used all types insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, surfactants, essential oils, fertilizers at very high concentrations in order to spray 1 quart per 1000 sqft of solution, I have a 3-year-old unit that i have treated over a million square feet of lawn and it still works. no problems
Hey Frank, is there anyway to retrofit a spaghetti wind to the flow zone?
Spaghetti wand
Do you recommend the red tip, instead of the green nozzle the comes with it? I would like to herbicide a lawn
i dont like any of the nozzles it comes with too much volume too narrow
Yeah thought the same, I ordered the adapter for teejet tip
Hey bro do you know if the birchmier cone tip works
Josue Ramirez you can use the teejet cone sprayer tip most tips are interchangeable with teejet or hypro, solo, Stihl
I did just that. I have a Birchmeir cone and the 0 degree tip. Those two handle 99% of my outside needs.
I just bought all those parts and mine keeps leaking.. any idea if what the problem is??
no idea ive made at least 6 sets and no problems
Looking for a backpack sprayer, mostly for ferts. What's your assessment of the FlowZone 18? Strictly for my residence.
I have 3 one for natural shrub spray, one for lawn spray, one for home perimeter. The lawn spray one we use an insecticide, fungicide, herbicide and liquid fertilizer not a single problem, just make sure to rinse it out after each use and don't allow it to sit overnight with lawn mix.
@@pestgeekpodcastpestcontrol4795 thanks for the speedy reply. I will order one tonight.
@@TheWalk23 did you order your flowzone? i have a strom and curious if you put together the teejet assembly and your thoughts. thx
@@clausiusuf I did and I like it. Haven't gotten the tee jet assembly yet.
I love the backpack sprayer for liquid fungicide, feet, weed treatment. I use my white tip - 40 degree from my pressure washer but the spray pattern at knee height is still only about 14-16” wide. Too narrow a pattern to walk off my entire lawn.
👍👊😸
Why didn't you just put a jd9 gun on it....thats what I did
Thats a good question its too heavy, the wand offers a more even product distribution we can have more precise applications for different situations, the jd9 is designed for high pressure and high volume that unit has 45 to a max of 115 psi and about 1 gallon per minute you would use too much solution. When we switched to backpacks from rigs we used 90% less water and 66% less chemical incresed speed of application by double that of a hose.
