I broke down and bought a spot shot sprayer

13 years ago

I gave in and bought this sprayer--figured I have too many roses now to deal with less than satisfactory sprayers.

The burst of spray was fantastic, until the tank got to a gallon or so--then the spray seemed to lose power and the pump made a pulsing kind of sound. Is this normal for the last part of spraying, or is there something I am doing wrong?

he he, that's ok. I do not have that type of sprayer.
I do have a pump sprayer for fertilizer and it sprays even until the last few drops.
Sorry I can't help, maybe people on the main rose forum can help.
Good luck!

I have this type of sprayer and it is just great. Be sure your pick-hose is all the way to the bottom of the tank. I marked mine with electric tape, also when you are spraying be sure that you are not pulling the machine this will cause the last little bit of spray to become unlevel and the pump will lose it's prime.

I just got one last month, too, and have been unhappy with it. It turned out the battery charger wasn't working and they are sending me a new one. The owner told me that others had had trouble with that charger and he has switched brands. It does work well when it is charged, but I don't like paying that much for something and encountering initial problems like this.
