B&G Sprayer Tips

Tips to save money on your B&G Sprayer:

-          Tip Cleaning – Follow manufacturer directions for cleaning tips.  This usually includes using a soft bristle brush and mild cleaner.  Wire brushes, pins, pocketknives, etc. will destroy tips.

-          Tip Wear – One study reported that brass tips wear out at about 10% per year.  This means every year your tip is putting out 10% more product than it was last year.  A new B&G Tip (about $20) is cheaper than a 10% increase in chemical cost.

-          Prevent Downtime - Keep the old tip as a backup.  Store in the vehicle in your emergency repair kit.

-          B&G Sprayer 4-Way Tip – is great if you use multiple spray patterns.  If you only use 1 or 2 of the patterns, substituting industry available Spraying Systems parts is cheaper and easier.  See the 2 photos. 

=  The 1st shows the typical B&G Sprayer assembly (wand, modified assembly, tip, retaining ring).  This tip assembly is about $45 in parts (excluding the wand).                                           

=  The 2^nd photo shows how to do it with industry standard parts.  The modified assembly is removed.  All that is needed is the tip and the retaining ring.  This tip assembly is about $10 in parts.

-          Secure your B&G sprayer in the truck.  Lots of B&G sprayers get damaged from rolling around in the back of the vehicle or being crushed by other unsecured equipment.

-          It’s a Spray Wand not a Crowbar – Our repair shop sees many B&G sprayers’ wands and tips that are damaged from opening gates, moving trash & debris, being dragged on the ground and other inappropriate uses.

Pest Control Spray Rigs - See Problems Before You Buy

Pest control spray rig brought in for service.  We noticed some obvious problems:

1.  Hose into pest control sprayer filter is kinked.  This restricts flow to the pump, which will eventually cause problems.

2.  Fittings are plastic.  Plastic fittings don't hold up to heat, cold or time.  This is particularly a problem on the input and output of the filter.  The technician will (or should be) checking the filter frequently.  Opening and closing the filter will torque the plastic fittings which will eventually break, causing downtime and possible chemical spills.

3.  There is no shut off valve before the filter (you can't see it in this photo, but take my word for it). 
Because this tank is plumbed from the bottom, this means you can't check the filter when there is water in the tank.  Filters should be checked frequently, not just if the tank happens to be empty.  This is a problem waiting to happen.

Be sure to check your power spray equipment for design problems such as these.  These problems are very inexpensive to fix.  A few dollars spent on improvements will prevent much more expensive downtime, repairs, and chemical spills.
