Concerning the "direct-to-can hose kit" - I plan to be applying deck stain from 5 gallon pails. Can the hose kit be extended with enough creativity?

possibly, just not too long. i would be more concerned about the bnd motor. don't want the motor to fail.

You likely could extend the hose, however the pump inside the sprayer was probably not designed to draw liquid much beyond the length of the provided hose. You're probably further ahead buying or renting a unit where the reservoir and pump are at one end of the hose and the spray nozzle is at the other. An example on Amazon is: Graco Magnum 262805 X7 HiBoy Cart Airless Paint Sprayer

Because we have had many painting projects recently I have those supplies around our home and was able to use a hook that could be used with any painting can or 5 gal. bucket and was able to attach it to the top of the ladder quite securely. It could be filled with items to move into or out of cupboards or shelves. Any hardware store has those hooks and buckets.

No, the hose kit brings a small tube that you have to insert the hose, it should be cut to about 5 cm. from the base and tube hose tied with the new hose above, so you repair from outside not inside, sorry

First off it's a great kit and instruction for assembly etc are good. I use on a 29 gallon tank and while it might work, depending on your skimmer, return pump, reactors etc you might run short on space. It could be done.If you have cabinet space I would opt for the next size up.

I do NOT know how Donna plans to use the kit so I cannot recommend a pump for her to use. Having said that, I bought a Beckett pump for my ornamental water spout out front of my home--http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005G6TPVI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I am very pleased with the pump and Beckett is highly recommended!! She might want to contact "Beckett pumps" via internet or phone and ask them what pump they recommend for her nozzle kit. Sorry!!

I ordered the attachment to hook up to a water hose...However I just fill it with a Sprinkler can every other day...not a big problem.. I could hook it up sometime..but for now I am happy.

The 24 oz kit would not be enough for the area you are describing. If you have a solid area that you are working with, you may want to go with the two part woodepox in the quart cans. You can also use saw dust to fill in voids mixed with the liquidwood if you are working with wood rot in this area to cut down on the amount of woodepox to be used. The results trump the price spent.

I would say yes, because it is merely a bottle that attaches to the hose that dispenses the solution. I guess they are hoping that you'd just go out and buy another bottle, but what you propose makes more sense, especially since I have tones of that miracle grow stuff in my shed. You have given me a great idea. Thanks.

Yes. I'm watering four separate areas with mine. The kit comes with a length of brown drip hose and a length of black non-drip hose; I go non-drip from faucet to first bed, drip through first bed, non-drip across a short section to second bed, drip through second bed, non-drip underground inside a length of PVC pipe (so I can roll heavy carts across) to third bed, drip through third bed, then underground in PVC again to fourth drip bed. Keep total length in mind. Also, the 18-inch spacing in the drip section is a little long - if a bed is more than 2 feet wide you'll want a staggered double pass of drip. And the kit doesn't have near enough straight-through connectors for any of this. The fat brown connectors in the kit work great (hold the tip of the hose in an inch of just-boiled water for a few minutes and they slide right in), the supposedly half-inch skinny black connectors that Home Depot sells leak, and the expensive "universal" connectors are a joke. No one seems to sell the fat brown connectors except at RainBird's website, and by the time you pay shipping you've spent as much as the kit. I finally found some fat GREY 30-cent half-inch connectors at Lowe's, from another manufacturer, that work great.

I didn't bought it for that use but apparently yes. I dont know if its going to be easy but this hose have good quality materials and is cheap. Before you buy, you have to check the diameter of your vac and the hose because it varies from vac to vac. Good luck with your "project" :)

Maybe --- the pressure is certainly high enough --- but it could be a little risky, especially for oil-based stains as these contain particulates which could clog your spray nozzle. I assume that you're looking to stain/seal a deck, or some other outdoor structure, rather than indoor items such as cabinets or furniture. If that's the case (outdoor use), then go ahead and try it, using a fan rather than a cone nozzle, but make sure that after use you immediately cleanse the system thoroughly with mineral spirits and then hot, soapy water, then clear water. I'd go so far as to soak the nozzle in mineral spirits overnight before final cleaning with soap and water. Good luck.

If you are going to use a very thin product like a stain, it should work fine. However, this sprayer does not handle thicker products well at all. You would have to dilute paint quite a bit to make it function. This sprayer is better suited to a smaller project than a deck. I would invest more money in a better quality sprayer to use it on something of that size. I ultimately returned mine because it did not work well at all, plus the contatiner was cracked so it leaked everywhere.

I built a boom out of PVC pipe and zip tied it to the pipe......I mounted it low to the back of the ATV so it would spray close to the ground. I have a 15 gallon sprayer tank I used and it works pretty good.

Hello Mark, Unfortunately I had bought it for my farther to fertilize his lawn. Though from experience you can use the pro tank sprayer for stain depending on stain...paint...I have also had stains that do not work. It is a gamble.

Wouldn't you want to contact the company???????? Also, you would probably use Gallons of the stuff? How about economical spray paint?

Use half. Make sure it's spotless, dry, and warm. VERY THICK. Doesn't cover fast. I have a 5.5 gallon tank and used whole kit. Big mistake. Ended up leaving a half inch thick 2 lb pile in the bottom of my tank. Didn't help the tank was lightweight carbon fiber. Then it leaked again. Caswell replaced for free. Gotta cut in half, grind out and do over with HALF kit

Hello -- I bought this directly but it was for my contractor to use on our new epi (sp?) -- I believe they mixed it with water. He had used it before on another project, and like it a lot. So far, it has performed well on our deck.Thanks.
