The manual says this screen is located "at the bottom of the pressure
cylinder on the side that faces your back" and that it can be cleaned
"with a small bristle brush or discarded toothbrush." For the life of
me I can't find this screen, and I can't a response from their
customer service. If anyone has one of these sprayers and has found
and cleaned this screen before, I'd sure appreciate some help.
Thanks so much-

I just had the same problem. I emptied the contents of the tank and out plopped what looked like a jellyfish. Obviously haven't been cleaning tank after every use. I took a hose and rinsed out the inside good. Then I taped a stick onto a small brush, stuck it down in the tank and brushed back and forth across the bottom of the front part of the cylinder(toward where your back would be). I then rinsed out the inside well with the hose again. Cleaned the spray tip filter and it worked like a charm. I love my sprayer, hope you got yours to work.
