FlowZone Typhoon 2V Backpack Sprayer - Unboxing and First Impressions

[@adamwade6183]

Good vid

[@TurfTherapy]

The fact the it uses pressure versus suction is a win by itself.

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Yes

[@TheLawnTools]

Seems like a great product 👍🏼 all of you dudes who have tried them seem to love it!

[@JimmyLewisMows]

So far so good!

[@pestandlawnginja]

Used mine on 3 tree services today. Incredible 1gpm. Saves so much time

[@creolecajun9988]

Question..I just got mine and I didnt fully charge the battery, could that be the reason it only shoots 7 ft ?

[@pestandlawnginja]

@@creolecajun9988 I'd check the filter and make sure the hose lines are tight first.

[@georgesmith4639]

Will it spray professional fungicides that require agitation? e.g. Enclave fungicide?

[@OmarGarcia1]

I just picked one up today. They seem to be out of stock everywhere but my supplier got a big shipment yesterday and I’m blessed since I have an account with them I only paid 199 for it. Love it! Typhoon for the win! I need to get the adapter asap

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Very nice!

[@LawnJourneys]

Omar, can you message me on Instagram or email me from my YT About, IF you can share your supplier info (understand you may have some different arrangement and they won't sell to general public but though I'd ask). Thank you.

[@OmarGarcia1]

Lawn Journeys sent ! On ig

[@statgenie6575]

Hi Omar, could you share the supplier info with me as well? Thanks

[@ratfinder7812]

I have been in the pest control business for 36 years, FlowZone is a great sprayer, I’m sure you have improved by now but, just a suggestion, work on the application method. I saw you kind of waving the wand back and forth, try adjusting your walking speed and keep the tip of the wand steady, you will better coverage. Also when you broadcast spray the lawn, don’t walk over the part you sprayed, walk backwards and do 6 foot overlapping passes, to ensure complete coverage. Also when mixing the pesticides, fill the tank half way with water then pour in the material, then stick the tip of the wand in the water and run it to mix the it up instead of shaking the whole back pack, the fill up the rest.

You're going to love it!

[@krismartel3240]

I use mine all the time and love it.

[@creolecajun9988]

I just got mine and I didnt fully charge the battery, could that be the reason it only shoots 7 ft ?

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Possibly? Could also be a faulty pump. Give the battery a full charge and see what happens and go from there.

[@joshuachilders129]

I've had this exact same model for over 2 summers at least. I've used it A LOT every Monday‐Friday. Never had an issue. It's a beast and I'd be pissed without it. I do have an important question though... is the battery okay to STAY on the charger or does it need to come off when 100% charged?

[@JimmyLewisMows]

That’s a good question. Honestly I’m not sure. I usually leave it plugged in until I’m ready to use it and it’s been fine.

[@joshuachilders129]

@@JimmyLewisMows That's the way Ive been doing it since I've had it. When I know its low, ill leave it plugged in over night even though I know its been at max charge till I unplug it before I head out.

[@brianyoung3651]

I'm interested in getting the typhoon 2. What would be the best setting for spraying fertilizer and herbicides? Higher or lower pressure? Or doesnt matter as long as you are putting down the right rate?

[@JimmyLewisMows]

It really comes down to your preferred walking speed. The variable rate means you can pretty much customize it for yourself. Personally, I tend to run it on max pressure when doing fertilizer apps on the lawn, and then I turn it down when spraying pest control products around the perimeter of the house, and when spot treating weeds in the lawn.

[@brianyoung3651]

@@JimmyLewisMows thanks for the reply. Having the variable pressure was confusing me a bit and what applications it work best for.

[@TheLawnCareNut]

All the cool kids are getting these! So nice to see high quality sprayers hitting the DIY marketplace. 🤘

[@JJ-pg4ud]

So, does the average DIY homeowner really need 80-115 psi ($367)? Do they really need the variable speed? After looking at the site there is a significant price difference between the different models. Just wondering if the $233 unit will suffice.

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Totally agree with you. The other models will absolutely suffice.

[@joeydelrio]

whats the difference between the FZSAAJ and FZSAAK models?

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Great question. The cyclone (FZSAAJ) is dual pressure switch between 45psi and 60psi. The Typhoon 2V (FZSAAK) is a variable pressure dial that you can adjust between 8psi and 115psi. The Typhoon will also spray further. Here are specs for each: Cyclone: www.fzspray.com/online-store/Cyclone-2-Dual-Pressure-Sprayer-4-Gallon-p138076422 Typhoon: www.fzspray.com/online-store/Typhoon-2V-Variable-Pressure-Sprayer-4-Gallon-p129781078

[@joeydelrio]

@@JimmyLewisMows thanks Jimmy. i was on the granger site and couldnt dind the info but found the FZ site that listed the differences. another question. i want to get one of these for staining decks and fences, it would be perfect. i would be spraying oil base stain and cleaning with kerosene or diesel. how well you think these will hold up and how much are the O ring kits?

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Another good question. I honestly can't answer that one. Have put any oil based stains through mine, so I can't help you there. Sorry. Not sure which O ring kit you're looking for, but maybe it's here: www.fzspray.com/online-store/Gaskets-c43957113

[@FJB2020]

Where is it made?

[@FJB2020]

Where is it made Jimmy?

[@JimmyLewisMows]

China... The company that produces the sprayers owns the factory and directs all manufacturing procedures.

[@FJB2020]

@@JimmyLewisMows Damn.. That is a shame.. I would think people would want to support American Businesses during this time and not support the CCP...

[@chrissandoval7542]

Hey Jimmy- do you know of any quality sprayers made in the USA?

[@slim256k]

For the average joe, is there a reason to get the 2V over the 2 since there is about a $70 difference? Does the average joe need 115 PSI? This would mostly be used for bio-stims and occasional liquid fert.

[@JimmyLewisMows]

I don't think the average Joe needs the 2V sprayer, no.

[@lambert1702]

Get the TeeJet adapter so you can use TeeJet nozzles.

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Got one now 👍

[@OmarGarcia1]

Jimmy Lewis where did you get it ?

[@FrankieKennethL]

Nice. Is the flowzone and Strom made by same manufacturer?

[@jaygonzalez3555]

Question for you, Jimbo....why the Typhoon and not just get the Cyclone? The difference is the variable pressure vs 2-speed, right?...which is $140! For what sort of app do you see yourself using 115 psi? Their site lists a few other "dispensable" benefits like quicker recharge time, ~5 extra feet of spray distance, more GPM.... Just curious why you went that route. (Also, I caught the part where you mention that FZ sent it to you.). Cool video. Thanks, señor.

[@bryanfelver6125]

I love mine . Waite till you get tee jet nozzles for it . Makes it a totally different spraying machine. You can spray everything with it .

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Already got one 😀It's awesome

[@swampshooter1]

What jets y’all using

[@anrivera1975]

Is this good for spraying wedd killer chemicals? I think the wand is too short.

[@JimmyLewisMows]

It’s great. Going to film a video this week spraying weeds

[@marionburgess5957]

Bought this in Septemeber 2019. IT IS WORTH THE PRICE!!!!! As I observed the pest control guy zipping through my perimeter, I asked about it and he showed it to me. It saves me time, time, time. Battery life is outstanding!!!!

[@mikesoucy9646]

I just bought the tornado sprayer and love it so far....being able to change the PSI has made spraying super convenient....

[@-What-are-your-thoughts]

You know your happy about a product when your smiling the whole time talking about. Enjoy and look forward to further review.

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Thanks, Ron. I'm still smiling about it!

[@statgenie6575]

Has the price gone up recently? Looks expensive

[@JimmyLewisMows]

This is a commercial grade sprayer. They have a pretty wide range of products that are worth looking in to.

[@LawnJourneys]

I'm still not thrilled with my Ortho Dial-N-Spray. I'd like to hear your opinion on the FlowZone Cyclone (even though its not the one your talking about). Typhoon is a bit $$ considering I just want to spray my lawn with it. I may try my 20:1 amazon spray bottles (this weekend) for liquid fungicide and Humic. Last year I think I was using 7:1 bottles and they clogged all too often. This is why I think I'd like to try a pump sprayer, its either flowing or its not. Just want to get the right one $$.

[@JimmyLewisMows]

The hose end sprayers are hit and miss. They each have their own little pros and cons. I will say that they aren't the go to if you want a more accurate application. Flowzone's products are quality. I would recommend each of them at this point. Well designed and well built.

[@swampshooter1]

Order one last Monday. It will be a long month of waiting.

[@JimmyLewisMows]

But it will be worth it

[@samuelasamoah6906]

Name of the insecticide again?

[@marksizemore3371]

I have The Strom sprayer and it looks a lot like the FlowZone sprayer. Anyways you will like it a lot, because they are really nice sprayers. Love the battery backpack sprayers; so much easier to use.

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Yes backpack is so much better.

[@DRK_BBQ]

I love my Tornado, I might even stop using the Ortho hose end in favor of the FlowZone. Its just a ton of fun to use

[@Querenciatv]

Nice Video! Thank you for sharing with us. Can't wait to see more content 😊

[@Bouba07]

Nice sprayer, the only advantage with the dial, is for people who walk slower...I got the chapin 24v sprayer ans it's spraying at 0.6gal/min with the red tip..You should test the max/min gallon per minute on the flowzone sprayer.

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Definitely will be testing the flow rates. I'll put together a full review after I've had a chance to really use it more.

[@john1713a]

Just bought one today. Really looking forward to it.

[@DK85]

Timely video, Jimmy! My cheap sprayer crapped out 2 days ago. Considered the Milwaukee product because I already have batteries, but I dislike the reviews for the money. These look promising. I have a big yard so I will really regret a bad sprayer purchase.

[@JimmyLewisMows]

So far this one seems excellent.

[@dronemaddness5148]

I have one and never regretted purchasing it. Worth every penny i spent on it!!! I'm a home owner and have gone thru Chapin and Solo sprayers and this by far, kicks Snowballs!!!! It really lives up to its name. Be nice if they had like a 6 to 9 gallon push sprayer that had a 5 nozzle main boom sprayer with an attachment hand held hose. So that you can go between large property sprayer or using a wand hand held sprayer that had like a 15 to 25 feet extension line attached to it. Keep the price under 300.00 if possible. Great Video Jimmy as always!!!!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

I'm looking forward to the full review but I've yet to see anyone have any concerns with them. Great job Jimmy. 👍🏻

[@donslawns1]

[@TheFoundersofJoy]

Dope video!! Inspiration for my content. Peace!

[@MeisterofMyLawn]

What a great sprayer. It is like a mini power washer. Love The the quick connect tips.

[@krismartel3240]

Biggest tip is on the tank lid there is a black rubber pressure relief flap. If you accidentally push on it it will pop off and go into the tank. DO NOT reinstall it with the flap on top, only from the bottom. If you do the tank will suck in on itself like a water bottle and crack the tank.

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Great tip. Thank you.

[@imowlow8919]

That looks like a great sprayer. Going to go check it out. Cheers Jimmy.
