Anyone else have trouble with the pump spray? I want to spray not just glop on with a rag. Anyone have any tips for making the pump work?

Remove spray pump and pump some warm water through it. When it is clear replace in bottle. Shake bottle contents each time before using.

I have not had any trouble with the pump spray but I prefer putting it on with a dusting rag. Sorry, I could not help with the pump spray.

I didn't have any issues. Could be due to local temps/humidity. Rinse with warm water to clear it.

I have found that you need to shake it up good before diluting it and shake the diluted mixture before you spray. The stuff settles & if not mixed up well enough can clog the sprayer.Hope this helps. Works great so far...keeping the deer away.

I never had a problem with it not spraying. The trigger would get stuck sometimes and make it difficult to spray but the biggest problem was the mop breaking completely making it useless.

I agree with everything that Bob said. The only thing I would add is for you to contact the manufacturer, tell them the problem, even if you fix it yourself. They will replace it. I've already had that experience and overtime the handle parts separated again on my sprayer. I did call and they immediately sent out a complete new handle and pump replacement. Wonderful customer service. I love this sprayer because it's so easy to use. I may buy another one to use just for herbicides

Is the bottle snapped in all the? If so you just squeeze the handle and and it will spray. You have to wait for the trigger to release before spraying again.

The first thing I would try would be to make sure you are cleaning the gun thoroughly. Next make sure you test your spray on something first like a wash cloth. If it is coming out uneven or plotchy adjust how much is coming out by turning the knob in the back. You may just need to turn down how much is coming out.

I must post a correction here! I re-checked my pressure washer & manual and there IS the option of applying soaps and other cleaning solutions through the sprayer.A low-pressure (black) nozzle is supplied for this purpose; also included is a clear "chemical hose," which connects to a barbed fitting just behind the hose connection on the pump; the other end goes into your cleaning solution. It is an entirely LOW PRESSURE operation though! The manual even states that the siphon effect will not occur if the high pressure nozzles are connected.

I had the same issue. Make sure the piece that covers the nozzle is on snug and all connections are snug ( no air seeping out of the hose extension) . The solution that comes with the gun is terrible. You won't get a good spray with that solution! I had to order Norvell Venetian however I use Lavish Tan organic solution now.

I have had nothing but trouble with mine. Would not recommend it to anyone. Had it for a year and it doesn't work. Buy a pump sprayer.

We have had the same problem ,multiple times ,w/this despenser. It doesn't last long until the pump is sprung & unable to release the soap. Very frustrating. This past time we contacted the seller & they sent us another, not the same one, thank goodness. So far, so good. It is much better. We'll keep our fingers crossed!

Hmm... We've refilled ours several times without issue... Does the pump portion work (i.e. go up and down) but no soap comes out? Did you try emptying it and adding more water to the soap and water mixture? May be possible that the soap mixture is too thick...

There is a little latch underneath the handle that might be flipped up instead of down preventing you from using the spray. Also on the top of the nozzel is a screw thing that controls the flow. That might also be your problem. You will have to play with it.

I never bought it with the pump. When I do buy a product with a pump, sometimes I would have the same problem. Did you try pushing it down while turning it to the direction to open? I hope this helps. If you tried everything, then it could be the pump that is defective. I've had that happen too.

Jo, do you have the lid on tight? If you pump up the presure, listen for any hissing or air escaping. Do you have the wand connection tight also? Also, the tip,.. if you have it on too tight it will not spray. And, if you are spraying a product that is semi liquid, it would clog up quick.

I just used it with Duracoat over the weekend. It worked fine except being my first time using one of these guns, I sprayed on too thin of material/too much air, so the paint dried before hitting the surface. I was trying to be a little careful, but I might need to redo the Duracoat now. Lesson learned, get the right air/material mixture.

It requires you to hold the trigger down to spray. It s not the pump trigger that ypu would find onbthe black flag plastic model
