store them with oil in them

Those pumps only last 1 to 2 years. Use the nickle one and change the rollars every year

Hello, would you have a link to buy the new silver pump?

[@jacksprat7087]

Aren’t you supposed to use water pump grease on those cast iron pumps? Mine has a grease zert hole but no zert.

Hey I put RV antifreeze in my pumps after every use and my current hypro pump is finishing up its fourth year of use. I do a lot of herbicides, insecticide and fungicide spraying every year.

Same thing happened to me over and over. 3 or 4 of them just like thwt. Finally bought the premium silver nitrate series and havent had an issue since.

i take mine off and throw it in a bucket of oil and it still locks up!

[@thepubliceye]

It says right on the pump, flush with oil after use.

probably high Nickle nodular iron

Based on how you described the issue in the video, it sounds like the problem is with The liquid fertilizer that you are using. These are the 2 elements that’s effecting the pump , IRON AND PHOSPHORUS. Even stainless steel can not resist against these two! Another thing, the pump that you are using it’s meant for water not chemicals. Blue pump is for water and silver pump for different types of solutions.

Thanks for the vid. I've been having problems with my Hypro's the past few years too. Makes me feel better I'm not the only one.

I am glad you shared this! I use the same blue cast iron pump, though have not had as many issues as you have had. I am happy to see there is an upgraded pump. Next pump failure I have, I will buy the silver one!

We've had good results with the Silver Series Pump. I'm using it for a boomless sprayer that sprays a 48 foot swath. It works fairly well.

[@kimculver1038]

Doesn't it say to fill with oil between seasons? We did that an they lasted for years. Not disagreeing with you

[@farmerpete]

I like the cry once rule.

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Morning you would think they would refund you only a year thats not right. Have a good day

[@michiganhay7844]

Have up on those years ago, yup junk
