I really like my Flowzone Sprayer. I've got just about 24,000 square feet of fescue. It's a big yard for DIY. I have it calibrated to spray 2,000 square feet per gallon so I can cover the entire yard in 3 fills. Saves me A LOT of time. Appreciate the video Pete.

@@FixItWithMe Pete has great videos on calibrating the backpack sprayers. It comes down to walking speed and pressure. I laid out a 1k square foot area on my driveway and timed how long it took me to spray it. I then timed how much water the machine sprayed in that time. I was somewhat close even then but I had to increase my walking speed just a bit to cover 1k square feet in the same time the machine sprayed half a gallon. It took some trial and error and then I practiced walking that speed spraying just water a number of times. It's just my natural spraying pace now. Watch Pete's videos though! He's better at explaining than I am.

Thank u for getting back to me!!! I have 58,000 sq ft of grass areas to do!!! I actually measured everything last week when I wanted to put down Prodiamine. I ended up buying granular even tho I have a big jug of Prodiamine wdg bc I was clueless on how to spray such a big yard!!! I thought I had to do 1 gallon/1,000 sq ft…so that would’ve been 58 gallons and lots of fill ups!!! I will try to find Pete’s videos that u are talking about!!! Thanks again!!! :)

These sprayers and your nozzle buddy package is the reason I didn’t spend 7000 on a space saver and instead run off a 125 gallon nurse tank with my Spyker spreader and Permagreen for my business. FlowZone with the nozzle buddy pack is everything needed to spray a yard for the homeowner or professional. Anyone who’s pulled hose all day loves the flexibility of the FlowZone. Many thanks and blessings to you Pete

I bought the Strom 4 gallon and your nozzle buddies and love ‘em. I’m new to spraying so I really appreciate your videos, I learned a ton. My only complaint is after about 4 uses, the coupling on the wand broke off at the pistol grip. Probably my fault even though I thought I was being careful with it. Post event, the complaint is it’s a pain in the butt to find any information on replacement parts. The feedback is for the manufacturer and or distributor. I appreciate all you do to help us Pete.

Got my Flowzone Typhoon last fall from Pete. Wow, it's got some power now! I sprayed my lawn then power washed my windows. Also the additional nozzles Pete includes are really top notch. They switch out using brass fittings that have a professional feel. On a side note, my lawn was old common Bermuda that was hard on my bare feet, so in Fall 2020 I renovated using Pete's fescue. Looked absolutely beautiful October thru May, but my Oklahoma summer heat (and irrigation breakdown😥) just decimated it. So I am looking at going to a hybrid Bermuda such as Yukon to withstand the heat and save some $$$ on water. So Yukon unless Pete can conjure up some of his Elite Bermuda seed???!!!! Any chance of it becoming available before May? Anyway, thanks Pete for all the great info and inspiration. God bless.

Purchased the Cyclone from GCI Turf last week and have been practicing using water. Based on the calibration method Pete describes, I am targeting my front yard (8500^2ft) with 4 gallons on pressure setting 2. A tip for consistent walking pace - pick a song and walk to the tempo. I’m using “one more time” Lynyrd Skynyrd. Question- does Pete have any videos discussing cleaning the spray equipment to avoid cross contamination?

I’ve had the Strom for 3 years now. Only issue I’ve had is with the pump. Sometimes just stops working. The company in Florida sent me a new pump however the pump design has changed and the new design will not work with my Strom model as the wiring is different. Out of frustration I hit the pump with a small hammer, kind of like an old starter that won’t start and voila, it works. When this method stops working and I purchase a new sprayer I’ll get an extra pump if possible. And No, I do not allow the pump to ever cavitate. As soon as I feel the sprayer getting light I shut it off as small pumps like these Do Not like to run dry.
