Spray bottles!

[imported_jar2187]

I am using Poorboys APC diluted, in different spray bottles and all of them seem to stop spraying after sometime.. So i switch the sprayer and its fine for a few weeks and then stops spraying.. It looks like there is foam in the spray head itself.. i have tried cleaning it out and it just comes back.. Any ideas on how to keep these things working?

try the grey chemical resistant spray head and/or after each use, take the spray head out and spray out anything that`s leftover inside the spray tube and re-insert it back into the bottle...

Anything with acid or silicones will eat up sprayers like crazy. You can soak them overnight in a bucket of water. Sometimes that brings them back for a little bit. But spray nozzles are cheap (or at least you should be buying them cheap) so you have to replace them often. My nozzles are anywhere from $1-$2/ea I`ve tried out the high end nozzles cost upwards of $10/ea to get the exact same results.. There`s not a spray nozzel on the market that won`t break down regardless if they claim it or not.. Just buy them cheap and replace as needed.

I like to also spray some plain water through them when finished (if it`s something that eats up spray heads), it seems to help.

I have had good luck with these:

Spray Heads Only for Chemical Resistant Viton® Spray Bottles - US Plastic Corporation (http://tinyurl.com/53t8bp)



As previous posts mentioned, flushing the nozzle out helps alot. I use soapy water to clean out the product.
