fix a “garden sprayer” that WON’T pump up pressure (don’t throw it away) EASY FIX

Just because a garden sprayer stops working doesn’t mean you should throw it out and get another one. The same thing is going to happen to the new one. These sprayers need maintenance. Once you understand the concept of how to fix these you’ll probably be picking these up on the side of the road when other people just threw them away. The amazon links for silicone grease or a new sprayer are below...
silicone grease: amzn.to/3vMyTgF
1-gallon garden sprayer: amzn.to/397dyqD

Awesome. My fix was even easier - the rubber two way valve (that I didn't know existed!) had dropped off and was sitting at the bottom hidden by the opaque weedkiller. Popped it back on - job done. Thankyou!

You are so correct, lubrication is key to smooth pumping action. 😉

That was an easy fix and you just saved me $50 or more. I was about one day away from throwing my sprayer away and heading for the hardware store. And I didn't even need any new parts or materials to fix it. Thank you very much!!

Awesome video. I have a sprayer that I bought several years ago that has some nice features. It crapped out a few days ago. It quit pumping air into the tank. I purchased a new one it broke within 5 minutes of taking it out of the box. I ended up taking it back the next day. I found this video today. Within 5 minutes my old awesome sprayer was working again!

Thank you! I just got mine and was looking at the maintenance section and was so confused about how to release the locking collar. I wanted to see what it looked like while it was new. My new unit has a ton of lubricant on it! The instructions say petroleum jelly is ok. Also, thanks for showing how to reassemble it - also not obvious from the instructions. Great video - this is a keeper!

Thank you for posting this video. I had no idea it was that simple of a device. I was almost ready to order a new pump. I disassembled, cleaned, lubricated and reassembled the pump for 2 sprayers in 30 minutes or less. Very simple. I am putting this on my annual maintenance log!

Thank you so much for this video! I'd just received a Chapin sprayer from Amazon and it would not hold any pressure if I moved the pump handle side-by-side at all. I'd hear it burp the air out. I'd taken it apart and found your video and decided to lube it. There was barely any around the rubber ring and none under the valve. I had only petroleum grease but I decided to do it right and bought some silicone grease. I didn't want to worry about the rubber getting eaten away over time by petroleum grease. Anyway, it works perfectly now! Portland Oregon

Glad the video helped.Since you mentioned spraying down the weeds, I found that high concentration of salt in water does an amazing job of killing the weeds. In the past I’ve used stuff like round up. I wasn’t actually expecting it to work but I thought I might pass on that information, it’s cheap give it a try.👍👍

Thx for this video. I bought 2 for different applications and both stopped after using twice. I couldn't get the tab to push in using my fingers. I'll try it with the screw driver to see if that works. I don't have a tool with a hook so I'll need to figure out that part. I only have silicone oil that I used for treadmill belt, and I'll try that to see if that works. At least I see a future for these 2 canisters. Cheers and happy 2024

Good information. I would like to share my experience when my sprayer failed to pressurise the bottle because the one way rubber valve at the base had perished because of the home made eco friendly weed killer I was using. This was vinegar, salt and washing up liquid which works as a weed killer. The rubber just distorted and went misshapen failing to make a tight seal. I replaced the seal and all ok now. Thanks.

Thank you! Fixed one tank thanks to these instructions. Now if you can tell me how to fix a brand new one with a valve I used before I fixed the other one! I got an exchange two years ago for the same problem and hadn’t used it until now. This one I needed to pump every minute and weird that the spray wand didn’t shut off when I stopped pressing it. I would be grateful for suggestions. Valve is on closed position…
