    Has anyone had a problem with the sprayer not self priming? If I let the solution run low, then change to a full container it does not prime itself. Has this happen to anyone else?

    Yes . . . I just try not to run the jug completely empty. At the end of the day I’ll combine the remaineders of the jugs so that no solutions go to waste.

    Make sure there are no air leaks on the suction side of the pump. Check the hose for pin holes and the hose-to-pump connection. Just a guess.

    Thanks Brian and Brian. Not a lot of fun “Self Priming” the sprayer on the job. I well check for leaks.

    We ended up exchanging a pump for this reason. Ours was still under warranty and it wasn’t hard to change. It sure beats priming again and again. If you don’t find any air leaks the pump would be my next guess.

    ours was an airleak going into the pump, we just cut the line a little and adjusted the clamp and it was good to go.

    How do you “self prime”?
    I’ve had this issue happen quite a few times and would love to hear how to fix it.

    First, raise your jug up high, put your sprayer lower, and try that. I got mine to work once or twice that way. We usually had to put suction on the sprayer though. I used the small portable extractor unit for that. I put the end of the sprayer inside the opening on the extractor and put my hand around to to form a partial seal, enough to get some good suction on the sprayer. That usually primed it. After I replaced the pump I didn’t have the problem any more.

    Has anyone had any trouble with the sprayer hose splitting at the handle?

    The only problems I had with the battery terminals was when by accident I broke one of them off. 😳 Had to buy a new one. 🙁

    I had one that liked to slide off. I taped it on.

    Use a plier to slightly crimp the clip tighter.
