Hello, my sprayer seems only to put out about 6 feet of very fine mist, and I need a distance of 15 or 20 feet. Can anyone help? thanks very much!!

To anyone who has this sprayer and have trouble with it you need to remake all electrical connections, this pump was poorly built with poor quality control

The disc inside the spray tip is probably cracked. And you can only buy the tips in a package of 4. If you still can, return the whole thing and get a refund. I have had mine for 1 year and it doesn't even work.

either your mister is clogged or your pump inside got looseamazon did not like my judgement of this pump and deleted my other suggestions

It comes with additional nozzles, they produce different spray patterns. Have you tried the other nozzels?

I used the nozzle with single hole in spray tip (red). Unscrew black cap and remove clear plastic aerator from under red tip. This aerator reduces stream and produces mist.

This unit is the best for close contact and is not made to reach 15 or 20 ft at a mist, spot spray will reach out but not but not always the best idea. This is my option and i use this pump a lot. Hope this Helps. Regards

You have to change the tip to the tree tip,should have been a bag of tips in the box with the sprayer.

Hi,I'm using the sprinkler now, and it really covers a large area. I think the distance long and wide I gave you is very underestimated - it's probably twice that much with the hose spigot on fully.- Maggie

There is an adjustment for distance. My sprayer leaks like a sieve. Stopped using it.

I have 20 nozzles spaced about 5-6 feet apart, and all are over or near my flower beds and lawn. they've been on for 3 hours with minimal puddles. you have 40 nozzles for 40 feet? ya, might be a bit much unless it's over your garden. 10 should do it. on still days, we have a $15 stand fan moving air and we eat outside up to 5 times a week. it gets 100 plus here. works fine. get the orbit universal cleaner and soak the nozzles for a couple days then blow them out through the holes once a year. I use the canned air. flush the lines as well.

Hello. Well, there is a wheel adjuster at the top of the unit which raises or lowers the nozzle angle, so the distance is controlled by the angle of the spray rather than the power (I think). The maximum range is about thirty feet, but in answer to your question: yes, you can set the range of distance, but its not something I require from my unit.This machine works extremely well at discouraging phantom cat crappers. I've had none (not A single one) since I installed mine.Regards.

Dirk, I live at the bottom of a pretty steep 50 foot cliff and I need to spray it with Roundup every year. They told me the sprayer would shoot a stream 20-25 feet. I'm banking on it! I haven't had a chance to test it but, I will tomorrow.

You are so right. The lack of water from the sprayer is one of the BIG problems, this product was a complete waste of money for me and I waited a few days to long to return it!!!! we all should be given a credit or a full refund. Maryann if at all possible return it ! Good Luck!

I have a worse problem, the valve is closed all the way, but the spray nozzle is below water level, so I get a small wave, not a fountain. Should the power of the pump push it above the water level (about 3 to 5 inches below full pond) or can I get an extension arm to put the sprayer higher?

I have not yet test the wand sprayer yet to see how far it will spray. I would think as long as your not trying to do trees over 10 ft it would work fine.

Good answers from Ray and Don. I like the extending the wand idea. Personally i would try pumping the pressure to the max and adjusting the nozzle for a stream rather than mist spray. Be sure to wear protective gear as you are likely to get the spray on you.

About 16 feet, with no wind, the bottle pumped up to the max, and the nozzle adjusted for a tight stream. I use mine to spray a weak bleach solution on my house to get rid of mold (I live near the coast and mold is a constant problem), so I'm frequently trying to spray as high up the walls as possible. To get to 16 feet you're shooting such a narrow stream that it takes a long time to cover any significant amount of wall. On ground-floor walls you can widen the spray a bit and get good coverage. For the second story walls I resort to using an old stainless steel water fire extinguisher that I pressurize with my compressor. Works like a charm but goes through the water-bleach-soap mixture like, well, a house on fire. The garden sprayer is much more precise and economical in it's application of the bleach mixture. I've heard these sprayers have some use in gardening as well, but I have no personal experience of that.

Did you ever find a timer that does performs like you asked? I want to program my misting system like this...come on every five minutes for a one minute spray time. Thank you.

I bought this for my Girlfriends Mother to keep beside her chair at home for protection. I did one quick spray when it arrived and it went out about 15 feet. If I had continued to spray, I believe it would have covered in the area of 20-25 feet. It appears, to use it to its maximum range, you should continue to spray for a few seconds and not just a quick hit like I tested.

I haven't been able to make it mist. It may be because my goal was for it to spray.

I think a reasonable length could be added...best solution is probably to have the source hose directly feed a couple of lengths in a "T" arrangement as there will be a larger pressure drop along a long, smaller diameter mister line. Also suggest you get several replacement mister heads as some don't function well or can clog up with time. I am still enjoying mine!

It is great for close and relatively narrow spraying, which is fine by me. I probably got a good spray for about 6 feet away but that's about it. It lasts for that narrow of a spraying about 200 feet or so. It is so nice that it is continuous without doing any pumping. It is not for the heavy duty spraying but it certainly works great for the small areas.

I have apple trees about 10 ft tall and I can get the spray to reach the top if it is pumped up all the way. The spray can be adjusted. I use the fan spray and it is close to 3 feet wide and goes forward any where from 4-8 feet.
