fix a “garden sprayer” that WON’T pump up pressure (don’t throw it away) EASY FIX

- Just because a garden sprayer stops working doesn’t mean you should throw it out and get another one. The same thing is going to happen to the new one. These sprayers need maintenance. Once you understand the concept of how to fix these you’ll probably be picking these up on the side of the road when other people just threw them away. The amazon links for silicone grease or a new sprayer are below...

You are so correct, lubrication is key to smooth pumping action. 😉
Thats what she said
That was an easy fix and you just saved me $50 or more. I was about one day away from throwing my sprayer away and heading for the hardware store. And I didn't even need any new parts or materials to fix it. Thank you very much!!
$50 for those little cheap pump sprayers. You are getting ripped off.
Love a short, straight to the point video.
Most of the $30 +/- price range have a few negative reviews on Home Depot, Lowes,... And they mostly complain about pressure problems. Thank you very much for your service.
Was about to replace mines. I then saw the price on amazon and said to myself "someone else has to have had this problem'.. Thanks your fix definitely worked for me.
👍👍
EXACTLY the same situation over here!
Great video, and well explained....
Saved me from buying a whole new one.
Great video
Walmart 10 bucks man
I did the same thing!
Same 😂
So glad I checked TH-cam before replacing mine. They’re honestly pretty cheap but any money we can save is always a bonus!
Thanks from Ireland 🇮🇪
I’d a pressure sprayer that’s quite old and I was going to dump it but now it’s back in action & like new 🙏🏻
Thanks mate for the video. I just fixed my hand pump. The manufacturer told me to buy another one but my old one works like new again thanks to you.
Thanks for sharing. Our HDX sprayer wouldn't hold any pressure today. Watched your video to get a good idea on how to repair our sprayer. Our sprayer was fixed thanks to you.
Awesome. My fix was even easier - the rubber two way valve (that I didn't know existed!) had dropped off and was sitting at the bottom hidden by the opaque weedkiller. Popped it back on - job done. Thankyou!
I was just going to head into town to buy a new one.... decided to check out TH-cam first....cheers for the detailed fix....sprayer now working better than what it was when new 😊😊
I’ve been looking for this fix for years. Took me 30 seconds to fix. Thanks
my gasket had not come loose, but a simple cleaning and a lil lube fixed my cheapo unit from ACE hardware. so thank you!
Just what I was looking for in a How to TH-cam video. Thanks for taking the time to put it online.
This just saved me a trip to town and a purchase of a new sprayer. Thank you so much! I wish there was a super thanks option for this video because I would definitely give support
it is amazing,,,When you have a great teacher, and a student who is willing to listen and learn, All things are possible. Thanks for making my job so easy. I was frustrated until I found your video. Works better than new. I appreciate you making this video.
Listen, I followed your instructions and my sprayer got fixed THANK YOU!!!!!!!NOW MY ROACHES WILL DIE TONIGHT!
Having the same problem, I'm about to throw mine away. Thank you for the helpful tutorial.
Thank you so much for your video. It was simply explained with great up close video so we could see exactly what you were doing. I’m a 75 year old woman who wants to know how to do simple repairs for myself. Thanks again for sharing…I’m off to spray my weeds!
Glad the video helped.Since you mentioned spraying down the weeds, I found that high concentration of salt in water does an amazing job of killing the weeds. In the past I’ve used stuff like round up. I wasn’t actually expecting it to work but I thought I might pass on that information, it’s cheap give it a try.👍👍
Thank you! I just got mine and was looking at the maintenance section and was so confused about how to release the locking collar. I wanted to see what it looked like while it was new. My new unit has a ton of lubricant on it! The instructions say petroleum jelly is ok. Also, thanks for showing how to reassemble it - also not obvious from the instructions. Great video - this is a keeper!
Awesome video. I have a sprayer that I bought several years ago that has some nice features. It crapped out a few days ago. It quit pumping air into the tank. I purchased a new one it broke within 5 minutes of taking it out of the box. I ended up taking it back the next day. I found this video today. Within 5 minutes my old awesome sprayer was working again!
I fixed two sprayers this afternoon and they work fine. Thanks for the tips and the proper lubrication, I had no idea regarding that. It's the key to this problem.
What kind of sound did yours make?
My new sprayer was not working at all, and doing this solved it! Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for this video! I'd just received a Chapin sprayer from Amazon and it would not hold any pressure if I moved the pump handle side-by-side at all. I'd hear it burp the air out. I'd taken it apart and found your video and decided to lube it. There was barely any around the rubber ring and none under the valve. I had only petroleum grease but I decided to do it right and bought some silicone grease. I didn't want to worry about the rubber getting eaten away over time by petroleum grease.
Anyway, it works perfectly now!

Over the moon that I've been able to fix mine with your help. Budget would not allow for a new one.
Mine had tons of resistance trying to pump and made screeching noises. Using your video I greased the inside and the pump works fantastically now. Thanks for the awesome video
Excellent information, and good close up camera work. Saved me the frustration of buying another unit. Thank you.
;
The fix principles applied easily to another version. Excellent video
Thank you for the very helpful video. Cheers from the Far East.
This video just saved my day. Lol. Thanks a ton! TH-cam + tutorial makers are under rated. Sharing knowledge and “how to” is awesome. I’ve thrown away MANY a sprayers. Lol.
Just on my way to buy yet another sprayer when I saw a review about your "how to" video. I will do this first. Thanks so much!
I was on my way to buy a new one and then saw your video (that was my exact problem)...thank you for the knowledge.
I had mine sitting for a year and wanted to use it for the first time and I was so upset that it didn’t work. Watched this video and added some silicone grease to the o-ring at the bottom and now it works!! Thank you!
I see so many of these throw away for that simple reason. Great video.
Thank you for posting this video. I had no idea it was that simple of a device. I was almost ready to order a new pump. I disassembled, cleaned, lubricated and reassembled the pump for 2 sprayers in 30 minutes or less. Very simple. I am putting this on my annual maintenance log!
Thank you, from me too. 2 mins fix.
Absolutely genius! Did exactly what you said, back up and running again in a few minutes!! Thanks again so much 😁
Cool, This is EXACTLY what mine is doing. Gonna try it and because of YOU, it should work! THANKS a million!!
I'm an old guy that was raised poor and in the country so we learned early to repair things and make them last. I wish there was a high school class now that taught kids to be resourceful and make basic repairs on things like this. They might actually realize that they could save enough money to live a better life by not trashing things or paying somebody too much to do their repairs. This repair takes less tthan 5 minutes and it saved $20 plus the time and effort of buying another one.
Man thank you so much. I think it’s gonna allow me to fix my sprayer. I’m gonna go ahead and order the parts. Thank you.😊
Works way better than new! I have a few of these sprayers (eg., 1 for fungicide, 1 for weed prevention, etc) and I’m going to service all of them like this! Thanks for posting!
THANKS MATE!!! I've thrown these away in the past but this time I thought that someone would know how to fix these sprayers. I'm also glad you mentioned the silicon grease. I wasn't sure how important it is. Now I'm off to buy some grease and fix my sprayer.
I tried and tried to fix my little sprayer until i came across this! Fixed at last at no cost and btw, i used plain old vaseline! Yay 👍
I fixed mine using Vaseline grease I had in my bathroom lol because I didn’t have what you was using. It still worked so I could finish my tasks
Thank you so much, just fixed my pressure sprayer rather than buying another one.
thank you! was just about to head to Home Depot for a new sprayer.
Thanks I was already going to buy a new one, took mine apart and the seal was just halfway off put it back and lubed it working like new 👍🏻
Thank you!!! I started a pressure washing business and have literally bought 10 sprayers over this past year. They have all stopped working. Luckily I saved them and am going through fixing each one. You just saved me a bunch of money!
Thank you🙏 I was on my way to chunk this thing in the garbage and just decided to try to see if I could find anything online to help 🧐 this was exactly what I needed and now it works fine again 💪🙌🥰
as all the others say 'qua bueno!' thank you for an excellent tutorial!!! dude you rock! greetings (obviously)
from so cal
Thank you very much for this informative step by step guide. Very well explained; even the little but important info such as the one way valve, of which's function I had no idea is explained here. Great stuff.
Thanks so much! I was about to trash mine and buy another. Hope this is what is wrong with mine.
The gasket was loose where the hose goes in on my sprayer. Every time I pumped, you could hear the air shooting out.
Silicone (the same stuff I put on my treadmill) fixed the problem immediately.
Thank you.
Thnx alot best explanation and tutorial ever, i've seen alot and this is the best
Thank you! I have come to depend on my sprayer and didn’t want to have to replace it!
you just save me man, thanks
I have a solo 406 and it happened to me after a month of use, i found out that the seal was still there but it was not grease anymore, glad i found this video it saved me couple of buck!
Worked like a charm.. Thanks a ton for saving my money on yet another sprayer..
helped me fix mine by reminding me how to open the lid. very useful!
Excellent info, thanks a million!
I was about to go back to the store to purchase a new one.
Interesting, someone had donated a nice pump and the only issue was the pump followed this video and noticed the rubber seal on the inside was missing least now i know how to repair it. Thank you
Good information. I would like to share my experience when my sprayer failed to pressurise the bottle because the one way rubber valve at the base had perished because of the home made eco friendly weed killer I was using. This was vinegar, salt and washing up liquid which works as a weed killer. The rubber just distorted and went misshapen failing to make a tight seal. I replaced the seal and all ok now. Thanks.
Just did both of mine today. Thanks for the video , it really is easy to do. 👍
This worked perfectly! Thank you! and like you said... it works better now!
Thank you so much for your video. You absolutely saved me from purchasing another pump sprayer.
Thanks a million...exactly my problem...saved me a trip to return it
thank you! the breakdown was very helpful.
Excellent instructions. Easy fix. Thank you very much! I owe you a beer!
thank you for the video. with all the useless sht on youtube present, this video is worth the bandwidth. i figured beforehand it would be something simple, but not this simple.
good video.
Thank you for a very well presented and easy fix for this problem! 👍👍👍
AWESOME THANK YOU FOR SHARING SAVED ME SOME MONEY!!! 💸💸💸✌️
Thx for this video. I bought 2 for different applications and both stopped after using twice. I couldn't get the tab to push in using my fingers. I'll try it with the screw driver to see if that works. I don't have a tool with a hook so I'll need to figure out that part. I only have silicone oil that I used for treadmill belt, and I'll try that to see if that works. At least I see a future for these 2 canisters. Cheers and happy 2024
Thank you my sprayer works better than new now! I did not have any silicon so I used dielectric grease.
Excellent video, exactly what happened to my sprayer, works perfect now. Thanks for the quality content
Excellent explanation and dimastration
Excellent video! It helped me fix the same issue on a different 3l pump sprayer. More than saving up about £15 for a replacement I'm all for a good #Repairdontwaste fix 😊
Thank you I was wondering if it was fixable.
Wow it worked
Seal was just twisted
Much thanks
Thank you for going through the trouble to show what could cause it not to have pressure...mine is fairly new I used it once...then no pressure,I only it on my basement walls to bleach them down to cur down mold and smell...thanks for your video
I’ve picked out of the trash at least 12 hand pump sprayers. As long as the tank wasn’t broken,the hose and spray handle are there and the hand pump isn’t missing any parts.,’I performed this same procedure and reconditioned every o-ring with silicone grease. All the bottom one way seals on each pump became hard and not very pliable. I gently removed each one way seal. Lightly sanded the bottom of each pump with lite duty scotch bright. Applied silicone grease on the hand pump’s bottom and the one way seal. It took a few days for the one way seal to soften. I kept 4 hand pump sprayers and gave away the others 8, that I rescued from going to the landfill, that all function perfectly. If I see anymore hand pump sprayers in the trash. If the tank I will take them and recondition the seals. I also purchased a dozen O-rings. Of two different sizes. each of O-rings for the inside of the hand pump’s O-ring and for the seal that goes around the hand pump to seal it to the sprayer’s tank. From Temu for under $5.00 that will fit most hand pump sprayers.,
Wow...nice and so helpfull!! I was so worry untill I saw your video!!! 👍👍👌👌🤟🤟🤘🤘🤜🤜🙏🙏
Thank you so much for this video. I had instructions but it always helps to see how it's done. Now I can get my sprayer working again.
Very clearly explained. Thank you so much.
Excellent. Quick easy fix. Thank you!
I have a newish sprayer that doesn't give much spray. I forgot about this. I'll check. Thank you!
Thank you for this!
Thank you, your instructions worked!!
Thank you so much for the vid! I stupidly left my sprayer outside and it rained heavy. Afterwards the sprayer just wouldnt pressurise and i had to spray glyphosate over my lawn to kill it lol.
But i just followed ya vid and its working perfectly! So thank you
Only thing i did differently was use vasiline instead of silicone grease as i dont have any 😅😅 probably wont hold up as long but it definitely did the trick!
Very helpful! Thank you
Thank you for this video! It was what I was looking for!!!
Was about to just order another handle. I wanted to look up how to repair ir first
