Does anyone else have a problem with this? I have one of the new ones that doesn’t have a threaded air intake and I can never get it to take air well. I’m just using a little hand pump. Anyone have any ideas?
November 29, 2007 at 6:22 pm #150968hbottumwaParticipantI don’t know if I have the newest one of not.
Instead of the hand pump I use the pump using the cigarette lighter. I like it better.
Others have installed a compresser or use a tank. Pump the tank up in the morming and your good for the day. Tank is about 2 1/2′ X 18″ X 18″.November 29, 2007 at 9:16 pm #150969CJonesParticipantJust out of curiosity, how many pounds of pressure will the sprayer take?
November 30, 2007 at 3:13 am #150970tjbackParticipantJeff, I read somewhere that 80 lbs will be enough to empty the contents.
November 30, 2007 at 3:58 am #150971Larry youngParticipantthe max psi is 200, i usually fill to about 130 and am good for a couple average jobs, it took me about 3 small compressors to find one with a good enough grip for the non-threaded stem
November 30, 2007 at 5:00 am #150972CJonesParticipantThanks for the info!! I too have been getting tired of pumping by hand – ready for one these compressors which can plug into a power port!! Sounds like there has been some trial & error with the electric pumps – do any of ya’ll (yes, I’m from Texas – ha) have any brand/model recommendations??
December 1, 2007 at 2:26 am #150973IA43MemberYeah I’d love to hear of some good pumps to use as well. So with the electric ones you can fill it up once and it will last a while?
December 1, 2007 at 2:48 pm #150974AnonymousInactiveI use a small Craftsman 120 volt electric air compressor ( approx 3 gal ) that I have mounted in my van. It normally last an entire day unless I do a large commercial job at the end of the day. I keep a 50 ft. drop cord in my van so I can plug it into a customers house if needed. This air compressor is about $100 but will last many years. I have one in my van, one in my eployees and one in my garage. Don’t buy the cheap off-brand compressors because they will not last. Also, the small 12 volt ones will only last a short time.
December 1, 2007 at 4:57 pm #150975AnonymousInactiveI use a small 12 volt compressor that you can buy at any hardware store. True they don’t last more than a year or 2, but they are only about $12.00 or so.
December 1, 2007 at 9:28 pm #150976AnonymousInactiveI recently purchased a new tool for inflating my stain protector canister. Sears makes an inflator in the configuration of a drill. It works on their 19.2 volt batteries. It’s rechargable and works great! I like it because it’s protable as well. It takes about 8-15 seconds to charge the canister depending on how much fluid is in the canister. That battery is also the one that goes to an extensive line of the Sears rechargable tools so I get dual purpose of the 3 batteries I have.
February 5, 2008 at 4:31 pm #150977Linda OrrKeymasterI have an air tank in my van and a large air compressor in my garage. I can charge the air tank up to 120 lbs. and it fills the sprayer multiple times. In fact it usually lasts me at least a week. It takes me a couple of seconds to fill the sprayer. On large jobs I can take the air tank inside with me.
February 5, 2008 at 4:43 pm #150978Linda OrrKeymasterIt is also easy to refill the air tank at a gas station that offers free air. As far as the caps that don’t have threads, it is easy to hold on until charged and then just let go, and it pops right off.
February 5, 2008 at 4:49 pm #150979Larry youngParticipantHow many gallon tank are you useing Don?
May 2, 2008 at 3:17 am #150980Linda OrrKeymasterI use a five gallon tank. It has a pressure gauge on it so I can monitor when to recharge.
June 3, 2008 at 5:10 am #150981NJ05ParticipantI have been looking into a sprayer that is a power sprayer with a nice wand. They have adjustable tips (fan type) and deliver a much more even coat than the canister type.
