As with all equipment and particularly used pressure sprayers it is vital to make sure that they are cleaned after use. Getting into good habits such as making sure you always triple rinse your pump sprayer after use and do not leave any weed killers or fertilisers in the sprayer, will mean it is more likely to work next time as well as extending the life of your garden sprayer. Ideally it should be triple rinsed out with water, pumped up and the hose, spray gun and any accessories flushed out a few times. Not only will this mean you keep your garden sprayer in working order, but will reduce the risk of forgetting the product you were using last time and potentially putting a weed killer onto a plant you do not want to kill!
