I had purchased a pro grade stainless pump tank (buy once cry once) for spraying for bugs at our church. Since I learned that it would spray FAR faster than a cheap plastic pump, I bought a second to spray Ground Clear faster than the stupid battery operated spray wand. Lst time it took me like 2 hours to spray the whole lot. Wasnt doing THAT again.
We sprayed once and it was awesome. Super fast. Did it in 1/4 of the time.
Fast forward a couple weeks, and one of my colleagues called to say it wouldn't spray. Weird. Its a brand new sprayer. I took a look and found the metal tip was clogged with a weird green solid.
Upon further inspection it appeared to be copper corrosion. When I took the entire spray tip off of the wand, and for a time the liquid came out a brownish color then returned to clear. Odd.
So apparently that stainless tank has either a brass pickup tube or brass wand that is plated on the outside.
So just FYI. Maybe stick to a decent all plastic sprayer? Or empty/rinse the sprayer after each use.
