I've had the 2 1/2 gallon Storm 2 sprayer for 4 years. Never had a problem with it. Just used it to spray a lot of concrete sealer and buggered it up. Contacted FZ, they showed me which parts to order, got it working again in a couple days. I'll never have anything but Flowzone sprayers...
Dont forget there is the Flowzone Cyclone 3.0 too that only goes up to 60psi on its 5 dial setting that only cost $249 to your door. Typhoon might be over kill for the basic home owner only using this on the yard and trees. The cyclone has been great for me so far for all my fertilizers, herbicides and fungicides and occasional tree spraying on my apple trees in spring. Flowzone also offers refurbished sprayers online for 2/3 or even 1/2 price sometimes if you periodically check.
First Aussie 😁 Ginja, that pump sprayer nearly cost you more than $369 if you would have collected the dog with that golf club, it was close. great video mate.😎
Have a 2.5. This one looks smaller & more comfortable. Funny how they tease us with the removeable hose. Seems like it should have been one of those no-drip quick couplings. Maybe on the 3.5, or 4.0?
Great review. Have you ever used one of these to spray stain? My concern is that it would stain the tank and I’d never be able to see how much liquid is in it again. Thoughts??? Also, can you provide details on that telescopic wand for long reach? Thanks!
I have not used one to spray stain. I have used plenty of organic materials that do stain unintentionally and it does leave a slight stain in the plastic. Doesn't bother me much. Didn't effect seeing how full the tank was. You can use lysol toilet bowl cleaner to remove tank stains. The wand works well for what it is. I will say i don't use it as often as I should. Great for tree applications
@@pestandlawnginja thanks! My primary reason for looking at this is to spray insecticide for carpenter bees that are a real problem and need the long range that you showed, but it got me thinking about restraining as well. Appreciate the video! It’s a lot of $$ for homeowner use. Is the wand also made by flowzone?
The only gripe I have with my FZ Cyclone is I feel the tank should angle down like a shallow "V" towards the pump as a low point. Amazing in every other aspect. I love the professional grade metal wand parts. The tank is a chemical rated tank and the seals are Viton if I remember correctly, so bleach, degreaser, and other chemical safe, through and through.
@@pestandlawnginja I do that too, but I don't use the tank frequently enough to always remember so I remember the pump is by the on/off dial so I find myself tilting one way and seeing if the pump primes itself again. If not, I just tilt the other way. Does this make my neighbors think I'm unbalanced? :0) You can also take a black magic marker and mark the volume marks on the tank for ease of use. That's something I did with my 50-gallon chemical tank for roof and exterior cleaning.
Here’s a question for you. I did a total lawn renovation with barenbrug Rpr earlier this year, I live in Saratoga Springs and the grass is the most beautiful grass in the whole subdivision. However, I’m kinda worried about the winter as I found a video by the RUclips channel “Sam’s Lawn” that his entire rpr lawn died off because of a harsh winter. You have/have had the rpr, does it hold up well in our Utah winter temperatures?
I've shown the process a few times. you can expect some die out. but it won't be catestrophic unless you avoid winter maintenance. I had similar damages to my kentucky bluegrass as well. snow mold is the most common issues. when you spot it in the spring time you simply lightly rake the grass upwards. You can also avoid most issues by pushing the snow off the grass during the winter. for some its worth it. worst case scenario....... seed the lawn in the spring and you have new grass germinated in 5 to 10 days.
I like spraying liquids but not lifting the weight of it going from ground to the workbench then put it on looking into a snowex or turfex sprayer but their pricey
I'm a 71 year old, 140 lb. 5 ft. 10" female, I have the same problem hefting it up on to my back. I found it works great carrying it over to my front stairs and placing it on 3 or 4th step. Sit on the step below, arms in the straps and stand up carefully. Works every time AND I don't get any dye mixture on my neck. Absolutely HATE the leaky cap. @@pestandlawnginja
Great Review Ginja! This unit might be overkill for my home use? I have been using the sprayer's plus 2 gallon for a couple of years. I had a battery fail at the one year mark. I probably only use a sprayer 8-10 times per season. If/when my current sprayer goes bad, I will look at this one,
@@pestandlawnginja I kind of like the smaller 2 gallon size. I also have a Stihl 4 gallon manual pump backpack sprayer. The Stihl rarely gets used. The battery sprayers are easier to use and more uniform. But the stihl is a good unit.

those mountains, wow. first time i've seen your channel, but im jealous of that view
I bought a 2.5 last week before seeing this video. This was the best review I have found. I think you are a real Ginja!
Glad I could help!
Great video and revieew! I'm ordering the adapter NOW, lol!

Good old rolls Royce!
Heya, Ginja!
Range, accessories, home gamer repairs...and battery adapter! Sounds like you're "dating" a winner there.
💯 bet!
Just bought it a month ago, brother well worth the money. Always good videos👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Right on!

Got you a photo bomber in the family! Reminds me of a woodworking channel, King's Fine Woodworking. His daughter always would photo bomb him.
He’s great hahahaha
Can it work with a Dewalt battery too?
Yes but you have to purchase the adapter
I finally met the Lawn Care Nut.....lol I have a customer next to his warehouse. Met Brett as well. Now, it's time to meet the Ginja.
Great guys!

Love the idea. I'm with you. Wish there was a design change to get all the liquid out
As it gets low on liquid pull your right shoulder out of the strap and wear only the left to finish and it gets the tank pretty dry.
@@LemonySnicket-EUC i do the same thing. it does work, but its a bit of a pain when apply herbicides
@@pestandlawnginja I do that too, but I don't use the tank frequently enough to always remember so I remember the pump is by the on/off dial so I find myself tilting one way and seeing if the pump primes itself again.

Hey can you do 20 hose for 9 gal sprayer or is only for this model
I believe it's the same pump. I used the telescoping and no issues. It's about 20 feet of hose
@@pestandlawnginja
Tank-U
You almost killed your dog
He’s the best
Dude, that was kinda a close call. That was pretty reckless in my opinion.
clenched my cheeks on that last swing. Sometimes a swing and a miss is the best outcome!

I hear that! There’s a roller for the typhoon or you can buy the rolling model
@@pestandlawnginja ok thanks for the info

I've been looking for a bit for a 4gal sprayer. Still can't decide. Solo 417 is what I've been looking at 299. This seems to have more options though.
Great sprayer for sure!
your dog got up and said i want some of that
Need to get a battery pump sprayer next year, my arm is done man! 😅
I feel you!!! Always in the elbow 😅😅😅
Almost thought that Camry was hailing your trailer lol
😆 maybe way back in the day
I wish I would have e known this a year ago. I wouldn’t had buy dewalt backpack sprayer. It leaks from the handle
i feel you. there will always be something better hahaha
You can apply carpet cleaning solutions with this sprayer as well!
That's a good idea!
I misplaced the charger on my first gen Flowzone. Replacements were so expensive it was a better value to buy a new gen 3 Cyclone.
Wow. I didn't know that
with that telescopic wand you can clean solar panels
Good call!
Sold me with the adapter, battery is always an issue for me. Thanks.
you're welcome
Dude you almost took your dog's head off with that golf club
I had the same feeling when i saw the footage. but the camera made it look worse than it was. but had he been seconds sooner, eek.....
Wait, you’re telling me l can use the FlowZone to stain my new deck? 😮
Yup 😊
Fore!!!!
⛳️
Golf club not included 😂
😂
You almost kill your dog there
looks worse on camera..... but yes he snuck up
Nice job! Nearly took your dogs head off.
good old rolls royce.
No different than the 2.5 other than the new look 🤷🏼♂️
The pump and battery are indeed the same
How's the new wand clamp on the top of the tank ?
