Chapin 20v sprayer

Post by Billybob » June 27th, 2017, 5:39 pm

Bought mine for $136 from Amazon maybe 3-4 weeks ago. Used it a handful of times and now I'm having a problem with the pump. It will spray a little than sputter. It worked great at first but today I sprayed Serenade and it took a sh!t.

I'm returning for a new one which is no problem since its Amazon but I did cut the hose and put my own wand and tip on it. I'm just gonna put the original wand in box and ship back.....hope it flies.

Anyone have this problem?

I haven't had that problem. Hate to be captain obvious, but is the battery fully charged and the filter clean? Also do you rinse it out after each use? I usually fill mine up about halfway with water, swirl it around and dump it out about 2 or 3 times, then I fill it up again and turn it on and spray clean water for a couple minutes to try and clean/rinse the pump/lines/wand/nozzle.

Good questions but I have two batteries n one is always 100% charged. Filter clean n I do flush fresh water through also.

I guess it just a bad pump.

Ok for tee jet users..... I'm new to them. Figured out what was wrong. The tips have a built in filter. Duh.... did not realize at the time.

It was clogged....Lol
