The box says 'Lifetime Replacement Policy" so when the plastic pick up tube broke I emailed the Gilmour-Customer-Service-Department for a replacement of the tube. Lo and behold -- they sent me a whole new sprayer! Yay! Three cheers for Gilmour.

Incidently, after using I spray WD40 into brass nozel to keep the adjustments working freely.

Don't ya just love it when a company stands by their product? It's become so rare that when it does happen it inspires a celebration!
I've felt that way recently too, although unrelated to gardening products. My kitten destroyed the wires on my new Altec Lansing speakers I got for my computer. I called them expecting to pay for replacements and they sent them free of charge! Maybe it was my genuine appreciation for their product that created the goodwill (very good quality sound for a low end product) or perhaps that's just standard practice for them. Same with Calphalon pots and pans. They'll replace something (and even send an improved and more expensive replacement) with no questions asked. Such a nice feeling and creates loyalty.

I purchased the Gilmour hose end sprayer at Lockhill Feed Store and they had the extra containers available there also. Regular bottle caps fit to cover the contents. I haven't checked lately to see if they still carry them, but they are very good about ordering anything in their realm of activity.

Don't buy extra bottles. I've discovered that a 2 liter
soda bottle will fit the sprayer. Just get a longer
pickup tube. Twelve inches is just right. Cost - $.17.
Yes, that's seventeen cents.

And you don't have to refill the 16 oz Gilmour bottle so often.
Two liters (64 oz)is a lot of whatever you'r spraying.
