Birchmeier Backpacks - Maintenance Required

Birchmeier backpacks are the best backpack sprayers available and will last many years with proper use and maintenance.  One of the parts that wears out on the Birchmeier Backpack Sprayer is the lid gasket.  This is the large o-ring in the lid that prevent chemical from dripping down your back.
The lid gasket should be replaced once a year or when it fails.  How will you know when it fails?  Your Birchmeier is covered in chemical and your back is wet.

This photo shows a Birchmeier lid gasket that is clearly past its prime.  Don't live with a leaking backpack, replace this gasket. It is a good idea to keep an extra one in the office so you have it when you need it.  Purchase authentic Birchmeier replacement parts.

Birchmeier Backpack Maintenance

Birchmeier Backpack is the best backpack sprayer you can buy, IF you take care of it. If you don't take care of it, it is a waste of money and you should buy a cheapo at the home store.

Some Birchmeier care reminders:
 
1.  Don't overpressurize
2.  Release the pressure after each stop
3.  Keep it well lubricated
4.  Clean it out periodically
5.  Do preventative maintenance.
Quite a few of the Birchmeier backpacks that are brought to us are for very simple repairs that could have been performed by the technician.  Here are a few key parts that are worth stocking so you can perform minor repairs yourself to save time and save money. 
- Lid gasket
- Check valve
- O-ring kit
- Replacement tip
- Hose connector (barb)
- Extra strap. 

All these items are available on our Birchmeier Parts page of our website.
