Thank you for the step by step my friend, I have a roller pump on a 60 gallon and my pressure disappeared over the winter. Cleaned pump and nozzles, will check the hoses now. 👍

[@ReelTurf]

It’s amazing the difference new hoses made. The leaks were so small that it wasn’t obvious.

[@frankneidhardt]

Thanks for a great vid, like your approach with step-by-step analysis. Cost a bit more time, but it is more fun to get to the proper root cause and potentially save money. Keep up the great work, look forward to your next vid. Kind greetings from Denmark - were we currently have snow on the lawn ;-)

[@ReelTurf]

Glad you enjoyed it! It was certainly worth the extra time to prove the main components worked.

[@wickenburglandscape4009]

This video made my day much better! I can keep spraying now. 👍👍👍

[@ReelTurf]

Awesome! Glad it helped. 👍🏻

For me it was the small pressure box assembly located under the bottom cover of the sprayer. there were a couple of wires in there that were corroded I just put some silicone on the terminals along with crimping them down. Also caulked the outside of the box so it help possibly with liquid getting inside. Not very well designed for unit that sprays liquid.

Interesting stuff

[@Cattleman1993]

Where did you get all the parts for your setup , like the pressure regulator and filter housings for the pickup?

[@ReelTurf]

All the details are in this video. Parts list is in the description- Google drive link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKC6daV8qbFnfpo

Was 58 degrees here for me so I got out the blower and cleaned up my green and the area around it. Wish I saw signs of spring but I've got another month or so before it's time to start. Looking forward to it immensely.

[@ReelTurf]

It was certainly a nice day to get out yesterday. This happens to us every year. We'll get a false sense of warm weather coming our way and we'll end up having one last hard freeze in February. Shortly after it's like a light switch turns and spring starts rapidly happening for us.

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

@@ReelTurf yeah I'll be there a couple weeks later. Usually the second week of March is pre emergent time for my lawn and it's when I start looking at the green to take inventory. Never comes out of winter as nicely as it went in but it only takes a month or so of growing for any thin areas to thicken up and for the color to return. I'll give it some light N and micros early and then go into my .15lbs per week routine. Eventually I'll spike it and start topdressing but not until my clippings are consistent day after day. The last few weeks before it wakes up are the hardest. Absolutely have to be patient or you're only stressing the turf but it sure is difficult!

[@swampdonkey4404]

I have a 25gal tank and when I fill it up, it will only use half of what's in the tank. After half is gone it losing prime and stop spraying. I'm lost with it. Any help?

[@ReelTurf]

First is the suction from the bottom or a hose from the top? Second, what parts are in line before the inlet of your pump?

[@swampdonkey4404]

@@ReelTurf comes from the bottom. I don't have any gauges just the pump. I'll check this evening to make sure.

[@ReelTurf]

Send me some photos of your setup to [e-mail] and we’ll figure this out.

23 minutes?
