G'day Jen

Good that you've got a good one now.....just check that the pressure
relief valve (the one you described) has been wound down all the way as
mine only has a small amount between leaking air and not. As with
anything like that, don't over-tighten as this might crack the plastic.

As someone else mentioned, don't forget to clean the nozzle because it
will get sand and grit inside, it has an O ring in there too. Vaseline
is good on O rings because some oils react on the plastic/rubber compound.

Hope this helps?

The part that seems to have trouble, for the second time now, is the part
where you're supposed to let out the pressure when you've finished. But it
seems to let it out by itself while I'm pumping. I just had the last one
exchanged, so the one I've got now is good.

I'm guessing you mean one of those hand pump sprayer things used for
spraying liquid fertiliser or whatever.

I find the thing that needs most attention with mine is the actual nozzle.
Small grains of junk collect in the reservoir end up clogging the nozzle.
So I unscrew it, blow it out, wash it out, & make sure it's clean as poss.
The vessel collects alot of garden grit etc.

Hope this helps.

Why is it that whenever I get one of those pressure sprayers, they either
don't work when I get it or stop working soon after? It's the actual
pressure valve, it lets the pressure out while I'm actually pumping it.

Does anyone know what's going on here?
