is it really The Worlds Best Sprayer?

[Mikey P]

I dont think so.

The rubber O ring for the lid is a huge pita.

It needs to be flat to keep a better seal. As it is in it's round shape, it leaks and you have to use far too much force to tighten it down to keep it under pressure.



Olson, you better do something about this or I'll be buying my next sprayer from Bristor.

 

[hogjowl]

Does Olson have one by that name?

 

[Ryan]

Marty there is a sprayer called TWBS. The Worlds Best Sprayer..... just thought I would throw that out there.

I ran a 3 gallon for six years without maintenance.

 

[Mikey P]

My techs refer to it as The ******* POS Sprayer...

 

[vincent]

$75 for a pump up sprayer, someone has more money than sense. :?

 

[Mikey P]

Olson is a hell of a low key salesman, what can I say.




well I could say, GIVE ME A SEAL THAT WORKS OR GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK

but I won't.

 

[hogjowl]

Well, I suppose it shouldn't surprise me that a person who just bought a 1960 model TM, and put it in a 1970 Dodge van, would purchase a 1950 pump-up sprayer when we have better built electric and battery sprayers of the 2010 versions.

 

[Mikey P]

Shouldn't you be listing your Vortex on Craigslist?

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Why would anyone sell you anything Mike?

 

[Mikey P]

Because if it truly does as promised...

[idreadnought]

do people really use pump up sprayers anymore?

 

[Mikey P]

those that do hard floor work do.


Do you really want to run high solids floor finish through a electrical pump?



So what can I do?

is there a goop or glue that will sit in that channel for longer then a few sessions of Dry Treat?

 

[Dolly Llama]

So what can I do?

go to Home Depot or Lowes and buy a Solo brand for half the price ...you igit!

that's what you're paying too much for now.... :roll:

..L.T.A.

 

[Mikey P]

and BBB gave me a new Shark no questions asked, not even a credit card or receipt...

Pee-Ess

the 3 gal Solo I bought years ago has replaceable Teejets (not the crappy cOne spray nozzle)
Large pump cylinder and viton seals.

Has been beat, abused, tossed around, buried under gear, rolled around the floor of the van, fell out of the truck and FROZE SOLID one winter with a half tank of juice in it.
when it thawed that Spring, I pumped it up and it sprayed weed killer just fine and dandy.

Mikey is running dry treat in the sprayers meat.the solo won't last 1 job.

 

[curt johnson]

what is this "pump up sprayer" you people speak of and when and why would I ever use one?

 

[rwcarpet]

I use Chapin 2 gal pump up sprayers. No fancy tips, made in the USA, and around $14-15. I've tried alot of electric/battery sprayers, and all ended up being junk. I guess I'll probably try another battery sprayer soon, especially for protectors.

 

[Jim Morrison]

Looks like TWBS is a re branded Chapin. I don't know how long your seals are lasting but I don't think they are that expensive. Some solutions seem to distort the seal faster than others.

 

[hogjowl]

I have gone through about 3 battery powered Multisprayers over the years. Changed out more pumps and batteries than I care to remember. Finally got tired of doing that and bought a Mytee Big Boss. It has lasted longer than anything else, so far ... but that ain't saying much. It doesn't have to last more than a year or so to beat the Multisprayer. The Big Boss is way to big though. I wish I had bought the smaller one.

There ain't NO FREAKIN WAY I am ever going back to pumping on a pump sprayer all day!

 

[Mikey P]

I only use it about once a week in special situation.


SO CAN ANYONE SUPPLY ME WITH A FLAT SEAL?

 

[vincent]

make one or several, couldn't be that hard.

why's that, John?
who makes the sprayers you distys sell?


My guess is, it's a re-labeled sprayer you could buy at the farm supply store for $20-$30 le$$


..L.T.A.

 

[John Olson]

Meat i'm not going to get into where to find the cheapest sprayer. Time is more valuable then spending a buck or two more. Sure you can run around all day buying cheap but when your done how much more time did you spend to save a Buck? I am sure it cost you more then $20.

Anyway I like the Solo's I used ther back pack sprayers for years (Sprayed Argosheen by the Barrel Nightly for YEARS!) I would replace them every 4-5 months becasue the argosheen destroyed them. This is how I know Dry-Treat will destroy them as well. I don't think there is any sprayer that will hold up except the SS Solvent Sprayer but I don't think Mikey wants to spend $189 on a sprayer.

and that's my point, John.
I have no problem with a disty making his buck.
But I'd much rather pay $49 X's 4 a year than $79 X's 4

that's just good business $en$e to me

naw'mean?

and...the farm supply store is right around the corner from me
