I'm looking for a sprayer that makes a tight jet...firm enough stream to wash the chicken poo off the sandstone deck. Will this work? I only use it on fresh poo. I can actually wash it away with a regular hand sprayer but it takes so many handle squeezes....Seriously, this is called a pressure sprayer and it seems it ought to do what a regular spray bottle does only better, but y'all say it only mists, then it only mists.

It will if it is fresh poop and one or two poops. It has a great strong stream but you'll have to refill it if you spray longer than 2 mins. with a stream. It works great on misting...but you'll be glad just to have this baby. I love my SOLO!

I don't think so so far it just seems to mist well, its NOT a high pressure sprayer. I live on a farm and that chicken poop is hard to get off. Probably need a pressure sprayer.

The Solo 418 1-Liter Hand Pressurized Sprayer is versatile. Its nozzle can be adjusted to turn a fine mist spray into 3-mm stream to blast off anything on the surface being cleansed. To do that, you need to remove the translucent plastic cup around the nozzle, detach the nozzle from the cup, and then screw the nozzle base back into the connector. Once the nozzle base is fixed in place, you can adjust the nozzle head by turning counter clockwise to loosen it a bit. That will turn a spray into a stream. The more pumps you give, the more power the stream becomes. I would suggest give it 50 pumps for a strong stream. The Solo 418 1-Liter Hand Pressurized Sprayer is versatile.

NOPE! This sprayer is for applying water soluable solutions...not for washing. You need a pressure washer or a garden hose and a broom to clean the poop off your deck!
575691
No. Sounds like you need a small electric power washer. Not even a 1 or 2 gallon tank sprayer will provide enough pressure to actually clean a surface.

I don't think the stream is firm enough to clear dried, stuck on secretions.
575693
I don't think this will work. You may be able to get a larger lawn and garden spayer. You may want to try a supersoaker squirt gun. Otherwise a pressure washer.
575694
Oh if you can wash it away with a hand sprayer already, then yes this will certainly be able to do that and you won't have to work so hard.

Jane, this is a fabulous sprayer and mister, but it doesn't have enough power to wash dried crud off stone.

They (the manufacturers) told me, that after pumping, to turn the nozzle, and it did work. It just doesn't give you a lot of spray for all that pumping, so I don't totally love it, but it does spray once you do that. I hope it works for you.

Breastmilk poo is water soluble so you really don't need a sprayer...As soon as solid food hits you will be SO GLAD to have a diaper sprayer!! So nasty. There will be times the poo will not just fall off as one would hope - it will sit inside every crevice of your diaper and without a sprayer or your hands you won't be able to get it off. This is one investment you will not regret! Signed, a mother of three (first time CDer)

I used this product on my siding and underneath were plants and I don't remember any problems. It does a good job. I also did not use pressure washer. I just used a spray bottle which did better for me. My pressure washer does not do what I think it should do. I do like this product.

Sorry to say, I have had nothing but trouble with this model. It clogged no matter what I feed through it. I wasted time and paint. It's cheaper, in the log run, to get a better quality sprayer.

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.

As you know clean up is the draw back of this sprayer. Turpentine or alcohol based will be tougher to clean up. As you know this will require immediate clean up.

Ours did not work either. Jane finally got it to work. you need to pump the top up and down 10 times to build up the air pressure then it will spray a fine mist for 10-15 seconds, Works great! saves Oil usage. very pleased.

Depends on how you set the nozzle - at least on mine. It sprays a beautiful fine full mist. I use mine for dish detergent at the kitchen sink. Saves getting out the Palmolive bottle every time I want to wash a few items by hand.

you can adjust the pressure coming out of the head. I used this on my wood deck and was milder than using the spray head. This cuts your time by 75%. It is worth it!

Yes, it's called a "shut off lock" and when you squeeze the handle it releases pressure. On some models there's a pressure release that you pull up to release pressure. Either way, there's a way to release the pressure. Directions for using the release are included in the general use directions that come with the sprayer.

Sorry but I don't have a video. I followed the owner's manual and had no problem. Following the step by step instructions allowed me to successfully complete my 1st project. If you follow the instructions and you still can't get it to spray, check the troubleshooting section for resolution.

I found its not very easy, but doable. I vigorously shake the container first (doesn't do much to rid it of the clumps) but I think it distributes the ingredients in the container if needed. Then I measure out the amount to go in water. Since I use a pump sprayer its fairly easy to VIGOROUSLY SHAKE the pump sprayer after adding the 3&1 to the measured out water. Then I pump it to pressure and spray one plant. While moving to the next plant I shake the sprayer again. Since its never clogged the nozzle I think that pretty much works. One thing - after spraying it really does create a not-too-pleasant odor. But the stuff does work on powdery mildew which is the main problem I use it for.

I used my Snow Joe electric pressure washer on the siding of my house yesterday (9/14/14). On the low pressure setting (the one for applying detergent) it could just reach the top of the second story. On high pressure the stream reached the second story but its ability to "scrub" the siding declined above about 10 feet. In sum, if I was primarily concerned with "scrubbing" the second story I would need a more powerful washer.

I got this same unit and had the same problem. They send the unit out without a plastic washer for the spray nozzle. If you don't have a tight seal both water outputs don't work correctly. I called the manufacturer and they sent me a washer and it worked. You can also get a temp washer at your local hardware store

I use any kind of rug cleaner in mine and it doesn't seem to matter. I think its only intended to spray a fine mist so quite often when I want more liquid I just spray the cleaner from the bottle I buy it in like Bissell or Rug Doctor or Oxyclean, which ever you buy. This tool works great for when my dog barfs up his dog food when he's a pig,lol. No touching, just scoop,scrape and dump down toilet. I highly recommend this tool for pet owner's.

I haven't attempted to use this nozzle to wash my car yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't work just fine. There are a large variety of spray patterns to choose from. I am sure at least one of them will do the job. Keep in mind this is attached to a garden hose and the city supply pressure is probably somewhere around 40 psi. The spray you get will not equal the spray you get from a 'wash yourself' car wash facility. Those sprays are under higher pressure. If that is what you're looking for I suggest you invest in a pressure washer.
