How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?
We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :
You can pump up the tank okay, but it won’t hold the pressure. Solution: Check the pump gasket at the top of the pump cylinder (tank); it may be cracked or damaged and not forming a seal with the tank cap. Replace the pump cylinder gasket and make sure that it fits tightly around the top of the pump cylinder.
If no pressure is felt then the sprayer isn`t getting pressure in the first place, so the most probable cause is a faulty, missing or dry plunger O-ring or leaking non return valve. Replace or lubricate as necessary.
Check for an airlock in the line & pump.
Air can get locked in between the tank and the trigger, but there is an easy fix for this. Simply turn the pump on and hold the trigger at a level lower than the tank, squeeze and hold. What this will accomplish is the sprayer will force the air down and out of the wand.
Machine Type: Gas pressure washers can typically run for about 30 minutes before they need a break. Electric models can usually go for an hour or more. If you`re using a hot water pressure washer, you`ll need to give it breaks more frequently – about every 15 minutes.
Chances are there is dirt or debris somewhere in the discharge line. Most likely the nozzle is plugged. RELEASE THE PRESSURE by SLOWLY opening and removing the pump. Then, unscrew the nozzle cap and check to see that it`s clear (see diagram below).
In summary, the four factors are wind speed, boom height, distance to susceptible vegetation and spray particle size. One issue Butts brought up during his talk — and one farmers should be aware of when considering spray issues — is the idea of properly engaging your spraying.

ANSWER : Your dip tube inside the tank has come loose or has a leak near the top. instead of fluid being pushed up the dip tube into the wand hose the air in the tank is just escaping. You will have to remove the wand hose and figure out where the leak is and fix the dip tube.

Sprayer wont spray or hold pressure
ANSWER : We use the both the 425 and 475 solo sprayers most days at work and when they start to lose pressure ( after 6 months of daily professional use) we purchase a complete seal kit and put it through them. The only part I can’t work out how to remove is the inside cylinder, other than that everything else is easily removed and replaced.

Sprayer looses pressure pump issue ?
ANSWER : You can take the intake part of the pump apart and clean/lube the diaphragm of the pump. If you didn’t clean it out last time it was used there will be residual or cake built up.
