Yes, I used to love my Jacto sprayer so much but I keep going back to this one, it's easy, battery lasts forever amzn.to/2LGQMJi and yes, it stays the same throughout. Great stuff!
This came in just in time. I sprayed tenacity the other day and was wondering how my backpack spray should be cleaned. I did raise it three times and run the the water through the line. I didnt put any soap in it. I hope its ok for the next time. Thanks for the video👵👍
Hello. Question... Just received this unit and the orange plug broke at the corner the first time I removed it. Do I need to order a new one or do you even use it when storing for extended periods? I've seen one other video where the guy just tossed both orange and the black one with the actual filter. Great videos by the way, I've learned a great deal!
I will be buying the sprayer you have very soon, i think it's a very nice and good quality sprayer for my modest 4000 sq foot yard. I also heard you can clean out tank sprayers by using 1 cup of vinegar and spraying that through the entire line. What do you think of using Vinegar as a cleaning agent?
I just used the cleaner for my backpack sprayer. I used glysophate with a surfactant, you think I’ll be able to clean it out good enough to spray other things on my lawn?
I have a 30 gallon tow behind sprayer, I put fish emulsion in there to spray on my yard which work great. But then I did not clean out the sprayer properly and the tank has mold in there. What do you recommend to clean out the mold?
Thank you for watching. *If you are interested in the special lawn sprayer cleaner from the video please click here* amzn.to/3wlY9cF or the sprayer I use amzn.to/2LGQMJi
I have a sprayer that I just use round up in. I made a gallon from concentrate but didn’t even come close to putting a dent in it. Is it okay to keep it for later?
Thanks! While product reviews are great, I appreciate these product care and maintenance videos. Any tips and tricks that will help protect my investment is a big help!
please be cautious with residue. Most of it is permanent and can move to groundwater or just remain in the soil. That's part of the reason most of us do not clean after each use. My sprayers have been on the ranch for years.
Your information is generally correct but NO. You are making this way too complicated and expensive. Triple rinse yes. Washing off yes. Everything else, no. 1) Wash off sprayer. 2) Add water then add dish soap, preferably DAWN soap. Fill to 2/3rds full then shake. 3) Pressurize the tank and wash out wand. Release pressure then empty tank. 4) Rinse tank with clean water by filling to 2/3rds full then shake. Pressurize the tank and wash out wand. Release pressure then empty tank. 5) Rinse tank by filling with clean water to 2/3rds full then shake. Pressurize the tank and wash out wand. Release pressure then empty tank. DONE. You do not need to leave the soap/deactivator for hours or overnight. This method is what is taught by all states Land Grant Universities Agricultural Departments and State Department of Agriculture. This is what I was taught by by father who is now a University of Idaho Cooperative Extension Service Professor Emeritus Commercial Pesticide Applicator/Educator/Advisor. This is what is taught by my best friend who is a Commercial Pesticide Applicator/Advisor/Pesticide Salesman/Certified Crop Advisor. This is what I was taught by Idaho AND Oregon State Dept's of Agriculture when I became a licensed State Commercial Pesticide Applicator (twice because I let it lapse) with herbicide, fungicide, insecticide, Right - of - Way, & other endorsements. STOP making things difficult and stop pushing certain products.
I agree with everything you said and that was all correct at one time. Many chemicals have changed though and it's recommended to use a tank cleaner, amzn.to/2YnNPz9 soap is not reliable. It's cheap insurance to use this to get the job done right. From Agronomy PHD: A simple rinse or flush with water works for only a handful of herbicides, the primary one being - glyphosate. The development of herbicide‐resistant weeds now requires the use of tank‐mix partners to attain proper weed control. As such, the addition of a tank‐cleaning agent is necessary to accomplish a thorough clean‐out.
Great tip, I even go a step further.I run RV antifreeze through them and leave it in the lines. It keeps everything wet and protects from freezing up. This is one I use: amzn.to/30XHMTF
Problem is I don’t have anywhere in my yard to dump a gallon of diluted herbicide. Maybe I should make a little gravel spot somewhere in the edge of my property to do this. Otherwise I’d be dumping it all on the lawn
Best thing is to clean the sprayer immediately after use. I do not have a big garage to keep 3-4 sprayers for different type of application. So i clean my sprayer immediately after application with baking soda and dish detergent in a dead spot (no plants or grass near by)
Thank you for this. We all appreciate your great channel, information, and time these take.
Thank you I appreciate that a lot
18 tanks on a single charge. And you are getting consistent pressure throughout the job, no fluctuation. Time to consider this tool.

Very nice. Enjoy your well edited videos. Nicely done.
Thank you very much
Very helpful. Just picked up some Blazer for my sprayer.
Makes sense to clean with soapy solution. Great tip.
Thank you

I didn't know that, I leave stuff in my sprayer for next time. thanks for the info.
Good video, had no idea such a cleaning product existed, just ordered it from Amazon.
Thank you, It's nice that the price os this is affordable and it lasts too.
Hello, do you use your sprayer strictly for herbicide or do you use it for other applications as well?
I had no idea that there was a special cleaner for sprayers. I was never told this stuff growing up.

Vinegar removes the hard water solids build up in the lines. Just like cleaning ur shower head
I have that same sprayer. Think the directions that came with sprayer stated to leave some clean water in bottom of tank.
Clean water is absolutely fine. It's when people leave stuff with the surfactants and oils in that ruin the sprayer.

Thank you for the video. Unfortunately, the sprayer is not available on Amazon per your link.
@@ercly9382 They sold out but they expect more very shortly
@@delt19 Thank you, they changed part numbers: amzn.to/3wlY9cF
Would dish soap work?
I have a sprayer that I just use round up in. I made a gallon from concentrate but didn’t even come close to putting a dent in it. Is it okay to keep it for later?
Hi, so I can go from spraying round up to spraying kelp using this method and I'm fine?
do you spray any lubricant on pump rod to make it slide better?
Dish soap “dawn” works well.
Thanks! While product reviews are great, I appreciate these product care and maintenance videos. Any tips and tricks that will help protect my investment is a big help!
What’s the name of the tall ornamental grass against that fence? Looks great.
Maiden Grass 'Morning Light' - This plant is even better than it looks and I have a video coming soon on it. Really great thing for your yard!
Thanks for the reply! I love your channel!
@@collinmahnke2191 Thank you so much I really appreciate that
I would partially open the top and tip the tank so as to backwash and flush the threads and the top part.
Great tips!
Where do you dump any left over chemicals?
Have you tried "Dawn" dish soap?
I wonder the same think. Surfactant equal dish soap.

Also, if you live in a cold climate make sure you get all the water out of the spray wand at the end of the season so it doesn't freeze

Thanks for the link👍
Nice tips!
Do you know where I could find an extension wand for this sprayer?
Who knew Typhon Deleon knew so much about sprayers
Problem is I don’t have anywhere in my yard to dump a gallon of diluted herbicide. Maybe I should make a little gravel spot somewhere in the edge of my property to do this. Otherwise I’d be dumping it all on the lawn
Mix less than you need.
Hi, how high could that sprayer reach a tree? Thank you
The instructions on the bottle say to leave the soap in the hose overnight to do it's cleaning work.
Good point, definitely follow the instructions, sometimes they change from when I may have used this
How much did you use? 1 oz??
Nice video 👍
Thank you
What happened to the Jacto sprayer?
you can use baking soda and dish detergent and lots of water to clean it. It works for me.
Best thing is to clean the sprayer immediately after use. I do not have a big garage to keep 3-4 sprayers for different type of application. So i clean my sprayer immediately after application with baking soda and dish detergent in a dead spot (no plants or grass near by)
Specifically, clean the wand, they all clough & will not spray anything....
and thats it
The soap is currently unavailable.
Back in stock finally! amzn.to/3wlY9cF
soap clogs my wand.
A non ionic detergent might be a better choice.
