Which pump up sprayers did you use? Home depot and walmart junk? Or something like a hydro force metal pump up sprayer?

Multi Sprayer Brand....

And I even like the Multi Sprayer Brand inline high pressure unit...

We have really good luck with this unit for an inline and It puts out a better stream we feel.

Jondon has them as PowerForce II private label units.

http://www.jondon.com/powerforce-ii-sprayer-250-1-000-psi.html



And take out the metering tip and mix your chems at 4 to 1....



I also have the IPS Sprayer and so far for the times I have used it, it has done well...

The hydro force always works. The multi sprayer Marty uses needs electricity but otherwise is very dependable. The battery ones need more attention to be dependable but work without electricity on the job.

I started with the stainless pump ups but don't use them anymore and the hydroforce is a backup.

We carry water but seriously no power, no clean. Too many bad things can happen with no way to dry and all shut up.

There needs to be AC, heat, a fan something to aid drying or its destine for trouble and ultimately we get the call back.

Had the battery multisprayer and always had trouble with it. I have a electric multisprayer I use. But I did adapt a 5 gal battery sprayer with a 100 psi pump for bonnet cleaning. Used to use a 3 gallon pump up in apartments many years ago and hated it.

Corded has always been our choice. If there is no power, we don't clean.
We are having to meet some deadlines on new construction where they don't have water or electric, or roads for that matter lol. Some of my rentals cut the utilities till they lease them.

When I ran my bane I couldn't do that. I have plugged into neighbors homes though.

I like my battery sprayer for it's ease of use but had to replace a battery after less than a year and it doesn't have a light to tell me when it's charging. Sometimes I plug it in at the sprayer but forget the other end and vice versa. The power isn't always consistent neither. I would probably get a corded when I get a new one.

Yes they are running generators there but I don't need them. Just got a headlamp yesterday for those dark rooms in the basements. We have lights too but they just create shadows. Takes to much time setting and moving them.

I'm also doing much more with the van on these due to the water and electricity issues. Usually Genny gets it mostly done before I get there and I just do the concrete decks and pressure washing on the way out.

I am cleaning all floors tiled walls tubs showers and countertops on these. I can see Genny wanting me to do more on the others now but she knows how busy I am too. It is a much better cleaning this way though. The builder checks everything for dust even garage floors. We are the only cleaners to meet and exceed his expectations. This guy checks everything!

My 5 quart hydroforce gets replaced every couple years works great!

Fast and easy!

I set it to 4-1 draw that has always worked best for me.

I keep an extra bottle on the truck, if it's a bigger job.

I'll mix up two so if I run out of juice I switch them and keep going!

$500-$600 for these electric sprayers is just inbred stupid. It's either an inline sprayer or a pump up for this guy

You can find cheaper ones on Amazon. Now that I have my Promaster I'll be carrying 2 at all times. On filled with protectant and the other filled with urine treatment. Ready to go at all times. My protectant upsells have gone up since doing this. Many times I'm just to tired at the end of a job to offer it, but having it ready to go has helped my curve my lazy habits.

Go check out your local tractor supply or rural king. $150 for a battery sprayer. Parts to build your own too.

I like not having to set up to prespray and scrub first. Great for protector too.

Just got done with a $600 last minute job. Its Sunday and I wasn't planning on working. I had some things I wanted to do to the Promaster. But I went out anyway. Had my protectant ready to go and sold an additional $150 worth. I love my sprayer. I almost passed on it too.

I also hated setting the pump up down on tile and even some carpet to pump it up leaving wet rings on hard floors and rings in the carpet. Just not a good look for me.
