I needed a simple explanation which you provided. Thanks.

Thanks Pete. I used the sprayer and the Bio Stim yesterday for the first time. I did have the problem with priming the sprayer. This video solved the problem in 5 minutes. Great!!!

Hey Pete, thanks. I'm a newbie to spraying. I tried to use this 100E sprayer for the second time after I used it (the first time I just walked around getting used to it, and drained it to nothing). This time it wouldn't pump; so I remembered this video, and reviewed. I followedyour instructions, and it worked like a charm. I will do as you say and leave water in the tank for future use each time I use.

You are a god! I tried so many things and this worked, thank you!

Right on son. Howdy from Colorado. Subbed.

His pump is primed already. As soon as he turns it on it's pumping water. My brand new 4 gallon sprayer would not pump water even with the spray wand removed. Finally after several minutes of nothing, I put the hose end in my mouth (new sprayer no chems) and sucked and water started flowing immediately. I thought he was going to show a trick to get it flowing. No, he didn't.

Good tips. That was probably part of my problem - I run her dry before storage. Esp since it was COLD up here when I started, so I always worry about things freezing (and cracking). Also, I've noticed that you just have to be patient when you pull the trigger. If you do nothing it DOES take 10-15 seconds for the flow to start. I have found that once it starts, it's a little weak. So I release the handle for a ”second prime", and then I'm generally good.

Worked like a charm. Thanks Pete!

I AM SO EXCITED TO HIT THAT 10K MARK!!!!

[@TheGreenerLawn]

Exactly what I had to do with mine.... thx Pete! Great info!

Pete you one helpful guy Oh stop saying you dumb I learn from you in these four month about landscaping is crazy

I was searching online for an electric backpack sprayer when I came across the Groundwork brand. I'd never heard of it before and I don't usually shop at Tractor Supply Co. But it was the best price I could find online @ $109.99. So I ran to the store to pick it up coz the website said it was available. I took it to the cashier and it came up *_$69.99 FOR A 4 GALLON, ELECTRIC BACKPACK SPRAYER!!!!!!_* 😀😀😀😀😀😀 I read reviews that said it wouldn't spray once filled, but I suspect it needs some sort of priming to get it going. I've just plugged it in to charge. I'm gonna go thru a tank of water when I wake up today and test it. I'm STOKED! Better price than manual pump sprayers at Home Depot.

On a completely different thing, I drilled a hole in the handle of my "Weasel" seeding tool and poured five pounds of bb's in there, it helped me not having to push down very much.

[@GCITurf]

WOW!!! Great Idea bro!!!

[@natureboy4258]

So what if I unscrew the handle and there is no steady flow of water coming out. How do I fix that?

[@Tundra_Guy]

Do you need to unscrew the handle for this or can you just spray through the wand?

[@Grassology-vs1hn]

Love the new boots. What brand are they ?

[@dblood8529]

So does this mean you never let the sprayer run dry therefor leaving extra product in the tank at all times?

[@georgejohnson6789]

This ain't working on my new never been used sprayer.

[@jeffwilliams6101]

Yeah Pete, this is exactly what I've done since the beginning as far as leaving some water in the bottom. I guess just out of common sense it seemed to me. I have had zero problems spraying with this sprayer or through either of your nozzles. I've sprayed up to three products as well without issue. I may not always but I have. Good basic video though bro. #getyourprimingright! Lol

Another video that could have been 30 secs.
