My sprayer is new and when I pump it up, the solution shoots out of the nozzle as though the trigger was engaged but it's not. I've backed out the pressure on the trigger and it still does that. Any ideas?
With the older style B&Gs, what's the best way to remove the packing washers? They're usually wedged in so tightly that's it's seemingly impossible to take them out.
I use a dental pick that I purchased at an auto parts store. Just be careful not to damage the threading where the packing nut screws in. I use the point of the pick to grip the valve packing and just turn them anticlockwise screwing them out. Works like a charm.
I use an old wood screw. GENTLY thread it into the nylon packing and you can remove them one at a time. Also, lightly grease the shaft with petroleum jelly during reassembly, it certainly makes it glide in and out much easier.
I've used B & G sprayers for 30 years. If they clog up, it's ALWAYS the fault of the user. You're probably not cleaning the inside of the tank regularly. Scum grows on the wall of the tank and break off and clog the tips. It's amazing what microorganisms can live off of! A cheap toilet brush and some laundry detergent works beautifully. Make certain to rinse it WELL after your done. CLEAN THEM EVERY TWO WEEKS. As far as your comment about not being reliable, I can send you a picture of the first B & G I ever bought, in 1997 when I opened my own company...and I still use it almost everyday! I own five B & G sprayers, three 1 gallon, one 1/2 gallon and one 3 gallon along with a 1 gallon B & G foamer. I modified one of the 1 gallons with a 10 ft. hose to help while I'm working in commercial kitchens. I have probably over $2,000 worth of just hand sprayers, all B & G. With all due respect, your totally wrong.
@@bjusticeforever They clog often . I have used them and I believe there can be better and cheaper sprayer. You have an opinion and I also have one. I think we both are right and can be wrong simultaneously.
@@Documentarytoshow I'll say it again: they clog often when the USER fails to maintain the equipment. Do you flush the unit out daily? Do you scrub it out every few weeks? The biggest mistake people make is leaving pesticide/herbicide in the tank.
I hate them too I was raised on them in the pest control industry but I switched over to plastic best sprayer I've used and I run a pest control company is the Echo sprayer you find it home Depot not sure if they're still selling them there anymore though last time I went to my local one they didn't have it but you can sure order them online they work great last for a long time. Only thing to clean is the plastic filter that is inside the handle which is easily unscrewable. Then sometimes where the wand hose screws into the tank itself sometimes before you start to use it when you buy it new purchase some adhesive that works well with plastic and glue that area so it stays sometimes as you're moving and working it unscrews and leaks air
Very clean and to the point video....had no problems following it. Keep us informed and keep up the great work.
Thank you for your comments.

Check your filter in the wand

I had a comment about being BnG were the handle is when you push it down it’s not giving any pull and nothing comes out
Why the BnG's wind running out so fast?
I noticed you were not wearing gloves. Guessing you emptied and cleaned up the B&G sprayer.
Super helpful, thanks!
Thanks guys for this
I hate these sprayers. They are expensive also not very reliable. They get clogged easily.
