Ortho Dial N Spray Hose End Sprayer Calibration and Application

[@TheLawnCareNut]

there is a math error in the text portion - I have "8 quarts is a gallon" but it should be "8 quarts is 2 gallons" it all still came out the same in that it was spraying 10 quarts in a minute rather than the 8 expected. In the grand scheme this won't make any problems for the application. Also, the fact that I removed the screen doesn't change the bucket test. The draw was set to "off" during that part so the tank wasn't even engaged. Lastly, some think I was hard on this thing and I wasn't. Just like anything, I need to learn the tool and how to best use it. I said that towards the end. Happy 4th!

[@edwinarroyo8967]

The Lawn Care Nut cuestion how the K blues grass work thank you Edwin Arroyo orange county new york

[@kennyr2271]

When you poked out the net on the sprayer that net probably slowed it down to 2 gallons every min now that you poke the out its going quicker cause the net is not slowing down the water... Thats what i think your problem is

[@redtwin1968]

At least on the first test he had it set to OFF so the net didn't come into play.

[@craiglatour8680]

Sorry if I'm repeating a comment. Why can't you just time out 2 gallons and use that as your time(maybe 50 sec.) I think it would be more consistent and repeatable. But I'm just a simple guy and I like simple math that works every time without adjusting water pressure. Just throw her down 😎

[@sylc6688]

Maybe you should try with the downstream turned on , the draw will reduce the flow of water. My 2 cents

[@DougTreff]

I just bought my Dian N Spray this weekend. The first thing I did was to perform a 1-minute bucket fill. I did it multiple times, came out to exactly 2 gallons every time I did it. Yesterday, I marked off a 1,000 sq foot area (31.6 ft square) in my driveway and practiced covering it in 1 minute. Did I mention my wife thinks I'm crazy for "watering the asphalt"???? :-D

[@brickit26]

Allan, I think a one year time lapse video of your yard for the next season would be very cool to watch!

[@goodrabbi7176]

Just applied my first app of AIR8 + Humic12. Watched this video before hand and followed your recommendations. I had terribly hard cracked soil compaction, and within 12 hours I can already see an improvement! When my soil “dried out” after applying, the cracks were gone. Amazing! Thank you for your recommendation of the Greene County products, and your constantly helpful content. I will be sure to let John Perry know too. His products really work. Couldn’t have done it without you. Plus I got a LCN sticker with my purchase. Bonus! Thanks again.

[@Tcbca]

I’m on day 15 of my new princess 77 Bermuda lawn and it looks incredible. The frankenlawn videos helped me out tremendously! ( I’m 14 years old )

[@mr.x2460]

Im a new home owner in Florida too and just learning the ropes... Lol thank you for what you do. You are very passionate about what you do and it definitly shows.

Allyn, that is one of my favorite cigars. Simply delicious notes of chocolate across the palate and a very complex flavor profile. Great choice, my friend.

[@ubuntunewb]

So before I watched this video, I followed John's video and measured my flow rate and also got ~2.5/min Also experienced the same issues with spurts of no brown coming out of the sprayer. I had a mixture of all the bio-stim pack

[@LawnDad]

Good and helpful video. 👍🏼 I used my Ortho sprayer for Humic12 and RGS (combined) and it did good for me. I also got 2gals of water in a minute. During my test I had plain water in the container that it was sucking. I set mine to 1-2 and I was able to walk slower and got more water down. So far not too bad. It took me about 50 minutes with mixing, spraying and clean up for 5,900 sq ft.

[@Thewaldo12345]

I bought the chapin HES. Works pretty good. I just put in the amount of product I need for the given square footage and pace myself to get the coverage I need. Then I put down weed and feed like a dummy and burned the shit outta my Bermuda! I had it nice, thick, and dark green. I want to cry.

[@calebb83187]

Just put down my rgs and humic 12 for the first time Friday. My lawn is looking better already. I used one of these hose end sprayers to do it. It was super easy

[@seporpn]

I have garage shoes that have the nice brown hue of humic acid. I used another sprayer and it clogged using the Next products. Then I got this Ortho Dial N Spray, and it's working like a charm so far.

[@carlisragland]

You may have mentioned this already, but would pulling out the screen impact the flow?

[@Methodical2]

FYI. The Ortho manual states: "...dispenses approximately {emphasis on approximately} 2 gallons of water per minute}..." Check "Things to Know" in the manual (tab 5). That is most likely the culprit. They do not state that it absolutely dispenses 2 gallons per minute; it's an approximate/estimate Mine is .52 per 2 gallons. I like my Ortho as it puts down the product nicely and with no or very little wind drift concern - the shower setting. I especially like how it really saturates the grass with the product. The only downside is you have to work the hose around the yard, but I've used dial sprayers for about 20 years now, so I have that down to a science now. Also, I like that I can move at a faster pace with the Ortho hose end sprayer as it puts out 2 gallons just under a minute vs the backpack sprayer. I like and use the shower output dial. Mine was around .52 seconds for 2 gallons.

[@minoutv7347]

Got my sprayer today, my Build a Box arrives tomorrow, here in California. So excited to try these products after watching all these videos these past few months. Thanks for helping us understand this sprayer. 👍🏻

[@Iexpedite1]

I checked my Ortho sprayer and it was running nearly 3 gals per minute. I put a standard hose valve on the sprayer and was able to set it to a perfect 2 GPM. I tested the chemical tank uptake and it flowed perfectly at the 1oz setting. The sprayer may flow differently based on your home's water pressure. The valve I installed was plastic so I took a soldering iron and lightly melted the knob and the base together so it couldn't accidentally turn. I figured I could undo that if I ever needed to. Super Glue seemed a little permanent.

[@brenthill5596]

2019. We have cars that drive themselves. Internet and computers. Rovers on Mars but nobody can build a decent forking dial sprayer for the lawn. The dial sprayer technology seems to be from the 1940s.

[@jamessullivan8300]

I know this is an old video however, I'm watching it to get an idea on how the hose-end sprayer works. Just a thought on why maybe you were getting more than 2 gal a minute. Maybe because you punched through the screen before testing it. Could have changed the flow dynamics. Just a thought. Thanks for the video.

[@ogatkinson6274]

Hello, just wanting to thank you. I have been following your advice of cutting my st Augustine higher and more frequent and watering more frequently, what a difference. Keep up the good work.

[@IBLEEDBLUEFORTML1]

Haha that shirt is awesome! "Lawn Rebel" Not sure why some people give him a hard time on that channel, the guy knows what he's doing, the lawn speaks for itself!. I was looking at trying those exact dial and sprays myself, what a coincidence you'd make a video on them. Thanks for all the tips yet again!.

[@alvinhartley9462]

I appreciate the fact that you leave your flaws in the videos. I relate way more to that guy ( lawn care nut), rather than the perfect lawn guy!

[@seanywilk]

Just tried using this Ortho sprayer with a 50, 50 ratio of RGS and micro green. It kept clogging even with the screen poked out it was set at the 2oz setting. I ended up giving up about halfway through and switching to the hand can for the rest of the application. Time to buy a back pack sprayer.

[@mikedauth4153]

I picked up that Ortho sprayer about 6 months ago and absolutely loved it for everything around the house.. mine is very accurate.. you do seem to have much more pressure than I do.

[@crestonburks9953]

Does how much fert you put in the container matter as long as your walk rate and sprayer setting is consistent?

[@estherfan4021]

Can use it to spray the Castor oil to get rid of vole ? thank you for helping with this question

[@surferdude50]

I use it all the time. Learned from my Dad years ago. It also helped that he worked at Ortho. ]80) Mine sprays 1 gal. per minute. Bang on.

[@dorkeboye]

No skip. More of these. God they made these sprays so difficult with the app rates of different companies

[@tandfloyd]

I first used it last week and it was chocking on the mix. Had to shake it a lot to get through the metal filter. Took that off today and it came pouring out. I think the flow rate increases when that filter is removed. I would give the sprayer a B. Dial is a little rikishi and if you turn the sprayer upside down the mix will leak through.

[@heinzkitzvelvet]

Happy Independence Day!! Thanks to this lawn care community I've found, and my President, I'm going to enjoy this 4th of July more than ever before.

[@jasoncandler9124]

I found the same, 6oz setting seemed to be more consistent (at least judging by the color of the water coming out) vs 3oz setting, so I just hauled around my tiny yard at a double step.

[@darksideshero2319]

Just tried the Ortho today. Not the best experience. I think it's just because I mixed too much MicroGreen with RGS and Humic12. The spray was consistent for a few seconds then it was just water. Kept increasing flowrate, by the time I had it flowing I only had a quarter bottle left lol. I'll def have to do the MicroGreen separate or follow NXTGen recommendation of not mixing everything together.

[@johnnyd687]

Curious. Many products list application rates in Per Gallon and Per 1,000 SF. So, if the product says 1/2 ounce per gallon per 1,000 SF you would set the dial at 1/2 per gallon. Got it. But if the Flow Rate is 2 Gallons per Minute, then you have 30 seconds to spray 1,000 SF. Correct ?

[@YardAdventure]

I just threw down my first ever application of Milo! Ready to dominate!

[@takenusername]

I'd probably dilute your 6oz to 12oz in the Ortho container. Then apply at 6oz per gallon. You'll end up with the same 6oz per 1000sqft, but the mixture will be thinner and will flow better. You will have to stop more often though to refill the container.

[@franke1833]

If you dilute the solution your ratio is going to change . If you want 6 Oz per gallon and you add 6 Oz of water you are no longer spraying at 6oz of solution per gallon of water right?

[@takenusername]

@@franke1833 I may have misspoke... The dilution is irrelevant. It's the gross amount of product that's important. So if you have 6oz diluted in 10 gallons, but you spray all 10 gallons in the same 1000sqft, that's the same as diluting 6oz in a gallon and spraying that gallon on the same area. I prefer a more diluted solution as it gives better coverage and control. Higher concentrations require more precision in the application.

[@JL-qo7cs]

You are something else, Hayne. Have you ever been to Augusta National Golf course in Augusta, GA? You should find out if you can go there sometime just to look at it. I KNOW you would really appreciate it. It's what I have in mind every time I think about my lawn. And I've never been there.

[@mikemalnar5095]

Your sprayed amount will depend on your home water pressure. It might vary in different cities. Also will vary on homes with well pumps.

[@estherfan4021]

Can I use it to spray the worm tea ? if so, how to calculate, thank you for help.

[@barrycavanaugh2937]

If you knew the area you were spraying, and you know you want to put down 3oz in the given area, you just spray that area. I think in John 's video, he said to put the dial on 1 and just spray your product on the given area. 3 or 6 oz. Pete of GCI turf fame, also has a video on using a hose end sprayer.

[@BUFTLVRS]

By busting out the screen with Lieutenant Dan’s Flamingo leg you are changing the overall pressure of the device. This allows more water to flow through. I have used one of these religiously and love it. I will do some first hand research and get back to you.

[@darrindavis1272]

I am glad you posted this I just bought one of these to put the NXT products down on my baseball fields I take care of wasn't sure what setting to use now I do thanks.

[@clintbrooks9517]

The issue I see is that with a foliar application, are the droplets too large for even coverage? It appears that way to me. For a soil app this could work great.

[@jjlritchie]

This video came at a good time! I just got my Ortho dial n spray in the mail a few days ago.

[@DevonRegan]

same here

[@jamescheatham9609]

Was the flow affected by the screen removal?

[@GlennMarshallRocks]

No. His first 2 tests were with the suction section set to "off". Screen would have made no difference since it was totally bypassed anyway. He also tested with the suction section turned on, in case bypassing it affected flow per minute at all. It had no effect, so, the screen had no effect on the water flow per minute at all. However, at 24:29 he says he finally read the label and it said it provided a flow of "approximately 2 gallons a minute", not exactly 2 gallons per minute... D'oh...! So, lots to do about nothting, apparently.

[@rickymcgrath2314]

I’ve had that sprayer for a little over a year. works great for me. never checked calibration though so i’ll have to do that and see what the GPM is.

[@jruss9109]

Sledgerton Same end sprayer I've used for years, it doesn't do to well with the micro green, I ended up diluting micro green with water in the concentrate bottle for it to feed properly.

[@GSM2C]

Hey Alyn, talking about hose management, what hose reel/rose combo do you recommend for 100 ft hoses like yours? I recently purchased a hose reel from HD for about $30 and I'm not a fan and it seems like all the hoses I try kink.

[@1975oldschool]

Hi. I know this is an old video, but does it not dilute the product too much if you change the mixer setting on the sprayer since no matter what, 2 plus gallons of water is coming out every min. Example, this product calls for 6 oz for 1 gallon of water, but I set the dial to 3 oz (6 oz per 2 gallon), aren't I diluting by half? I feel like if you turn down the dial, you are diluting the product to much. Maybe this product doesn't care if diluted?

[@wormhole331]

Gpm depends on your house pressure and flow. Mine get 2.6 Gpm but so what. That's the constant I use and base my calculations off. No reason to try and get 2gpm. I'm just glad that the oz application settings were dead on. I measured what it took out of the tank and on the 1oz setting I got exactly 1oz per gallon.

[@thinkdad1912]

Another measurement option that I've always liked for smaller areas, is if I am spraying 2 gallons per minute and my math is ounces per gallon, then what I do is put in the number of ounces of product, then add the same amount of water to the tank. I feel like I end up with less waste in the tank since now whatever doesn't get sprayed is cut in half. Then you can change your dial to just be the number of ounces per gallon.

[@donaldregnier6182]

ThinkDad - yeah man you got Alan straightened out on that, for sure! The nozzle on the sprayer is the key to get your coverage required. The dial setting of 6 would fix 2 vs 3 gals. Good to go ... No sweat, JUST DO IT! I got 15Ksft and I just fill up the tank 8oz to gal not 6oz. Then dial into 6. I'm killin weeds and grasses. I say use a tad more concentrate and be sure to kill them broadleaf bastards! Additionally, feeding the yard the temperature needs to be well below 90.

[@lsturbointeg]

i'm thinking about getting the Ortho sprayer just because my hand pumped back pack sprayer on 20k acres I literally felt like my arm was gonna fall off after pumping a million times. but curious if the Ortho is a good idea?

[@wolf03rudy]

Question for ALL LCN's: Recently moved into a new house and the sod that was laid down was done very poorly (uneven growth, gaps in-between the connecting sod pieces, etc.). I plan on putting compost over most of the lawn to level the uneven growth and gaps in-between the sod. Is this the best method to fix these issues? If so, what time of year is best to put down the material? Thanks!

[@viper3636dr]

Why didn't you use your S25 for this Or do you have a video using that equipment?

[@seanmclaughlin7415]

Put the screen back in. That may help with the flow reduction.

[@firehawk6188]

Agreed. Ya can't modify the unit and still expect it to flow the same as advertised. Try this test again with an unmodified one. **I am not saying the product is accurate however I am saying that perhaps knocking the screen out altered it....**

[@michaelteofrio578]

The screen is for the suction of product. He had it set to off. The screen would have nothing do with flow at that point.

[@goodrabbi7176]

I agree, screen in does NOT work well with GCF products. Definitely screen out is the way to go. Just applied. Took the screen out.

[@mikeg9b]

I just tested mine and didn't make any modifications. The output was 2.5 gallons per minute (almost exactly).

[@Duxa_]

The way I use one of those is actually dilute the stuff in the sprayer tank with water, then dial it way up and spray. That way Im not worried about emptying 100% and you can also hold it at angles and it will still suck well.

[@MICHIGANMIKE12]

Make things easy too. Buy some quick disconnect fittings for the hose and sprayer. I GOT a set of 5 with the hose end fitting for 11.00 bucks. Works great for disconnecting hose end sprayer from hose....

[@taylorscott6508]

It’s consistent. Can’t ask for more than that. Water pressure and GPM all has an impact on the performance of any nozzle device. Even a backpack sprayer with various tips. Flow is increased or decreased due to pressure.

[@JonathanShaheen]

Do you think removing the filter increased the flow by 2 quarts?

[@workinprogress5936]

How do you feel about using this for blanket wood control?

[@gregpodrasky110]

[@johnames6430]

I wouldn't go crazy with Milo thinking it's god's gift to mankind. Some of us might be better off with Starter fertilizer like Scotts at a 10-10-10. If you're lawn doens't have good root development then that might be the better option. Use a bulb planter to dig a 4 inch section up and check your roots. Water and fertilize accordingly. Milo is quite weak but good IMO for a well established lawn. Go with Starter fertilizer over the Scotts or Vigiro which load up on nitrogen. Starter fertilizer and scotts turf builder are almost the same price for 5000 sq ft. So use common sense and the correct product for your lawn. Don't just use Milorgonite all the time because you saw it on this channel.

[@Ryan-yi6su]

You can also use your steel blade edger to achieve a Sharp Beveled-edge , here’s how. When using your stick steel bladed edger instead of edging at 90° Lean into your “tips” at about 70° And edge as normal but with a heavy lean. Start light and take it to your dissired degree. It will be dirty the first time and heavier clean up then normal edging regularly

[@jimrocksmooth]

If you (or anybody reading this) can help me, I would be extremely appreciative... I live in Colorado and had a brand new lawn put in last summer (Kentucky bluegrass) as well as a sprinkler system installed. Overall, my lawn looks great! But the section of lawn in my front yard seems to be developing patches of different grass... at first, I thought it was simply crabgrass. But after watching one of your previous videos on crabgrass, I am thinking that these patches may in fact be clumps of tall fescue (not 100% certain, but I sprayed them with crabgrass killer and nothing happened). Where did these patches of tall fescue come from and how the heck do I get rid of them?! The appearance and texture of this grass is distinctly different... it has a bluish green hue (which is what I thought Kentucky bluegrass was supposed to have) whereas the rest of my lawn has a deep forest green. My understanding is that anything I spray these patches with (assuming it is, in fact, tall fescue) will also kill the good grass. This lawn is less than a year old and I've treated it like my baby. It kills me to see these clumps of different grass popping up and ruining the aesthetic of an otherwise picture-perfect and immaculate lawn. Is it possible that the sod that was laid was "contaminated" from the very beginning? Could crap from my neighbor's lawn somehow be invading my lawn? It's worth noting that neither neighbor on either side of me takes care of their lawns. FYI... this problem seems to be localized to only one particular section of lawn in my front yard... the lawn on the other side of my driveway and my backyard remains (fingers crossed) unaffected.

[@donaldregnier6182]

James - KTY Bluegrass sod for sure, OK. Find the correct seed and overseed those areas with fescue and it will take over, just keep overseeing 2-4 times a year, so it's a small area, slam dunk dude! Otherwise roundup then use the KTY bluegrass seed. Get the sod company to give you the seed to fix it, or they come in and put in new sod, which you already paid for, damnit anyway.

[@mattlane7888]

Bro your paver sidewalks are looking great; how about a maintenance video.... my paver patio needs your tips!!!

[@Rhino5427]

What is that edging you use? looks nice

[@mre3161]

Good vid, your house water pressure is why it was over 2 gpm. If pressure was lower then the flow would be less. I would of used the chemlawn nozzle, one you did show, water can type flow them the flat spray one. Larger droplets will produce a lot less drift and a much lower chance of breathing in the materials coming out that ortho spray gun. Larger droplets will get down to soil faster then fine ones.

[@StrikitRich]

The daily Florida monsoon will get all size droplets down into the soil quickly.

[@mre3161]

StrikitRich my point, its the drift that will cover you when using the flat spray nozzle. People apply all types of products including pesticides in them orthoo spray device's, least drift as possible is the best way.

[@keithb2024]

Try the Chapin G362 hose end sprayer, a little confusing at first, but works like a champ!

[@matthewinga9546]

Allyn, have you tried the Edgeit Pro? That was 3 awkward passes with no major difference- You would get to walk straight, upright and only one pass.

[@sptrader6316]

Yours sprayed a couple more quarts per minute, maybe because your water pressure is higher. The water pressure varies with every community. (hose diameter could affect it too- most are 5/8" but some are 1/2" or 1").

[@robertb2744]

Doesn't the label say to apply it to lawns during blackout periods at a rate of 12-16 oz per 1000 sqft with a minimum dilution of 7:1?

[@Valve-sb7ne]

Hey Allyn I have a question for you, I don't know if you have this problem with your echo trimmer or not, but I have an echo SRM-225 and whenever I go to edge with it I can edge for maybe a minute and the my trimmer shuts off and I think the gas floods the engine but I'm not sure but anyway I was wondering if you knew about any way to make that stop, and if you've ever had that same problem before thanks. Great video 👍👍👍

[@joevillegas8754]

Caleb J 24 same thing happened to me. Until I saw a guy edge by holding it upside down. Now it never dies on me. Hope this help.

[@Valve-sb7ne]

Joe Villegas thanks I will have to try it

[@PatrickWitherow]

I have an Echo SRM 210 (i think). It's 10 years old and I just replaced the carburetor, fuel lines, fuel filter, air filter and spark plug. After doing all of that, mine still died on and off again if it was turned doing edging work. I did realize this past weekend that if the gas tank was completely full to start with it never died once. Maybe something to do with the angle of the gas in the tank and the fuel lines in the tank?

[@Valve-sb7ne]

Patrick Witherow hmmmm ok I will have to try that

[@danielreynolds1923]

There is a hose that picks up the fuel from in the tank. Depending on which way you turn the trimmer sideways you either put the hose in the fuel or take it out of the fuel. Either turn the trimmer straight up and down or rotate it the other way when you edge.
