Thank you so much. I purchased a tank sprayer that said "Failure to read instructions could lead to explosion". However, the manufacturer neglected to include said instructions. This was perfect!
You are welcome, it's my pleasure to help.
Thank you! Quick and straight to the point!!! A very rare thing these days.
You are welcome, Garcella. I do my best to make quality videos that don't waste your time.
Excellent instructions. Was able to assist me with getting my new pump to pressurize and use immediately! Watched two other videos and zero explanation on what I needed. Thank you.
You are welcome, it's my pleasure to help.
Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!
I tried to use this item yesterday. I quit, thinking it was broken lol.
I really appreaciate the concise verbal instructions, and especially the safety tips.
I feel prepared. Thanks again 🇨🇦.
You are welcome, it's my pleasure to help.
I had the same experience. I thought the tank was busted. Glad I didnthrow it out.
Thank you for the video! I borrowed one of these from my neighbor. Might seem pretty simple but I wanted to be sure I pumped it correct etc.. etc.. very informative! Thank you
You are welcome!
Thanks for the video.
I just purchased my first pump sprayer and your simple straightforward instructions are much appreciated.
You are welcome, Paul. It's my pleasure to help.
I bought new one just today and no liquid is coming out but just air ?
Sorry if this was already mentioned but I'm not reading all the comments...great video, however the only thing I would add is always add chemicals to water...not water to chemicals...minimize splashing and chance of chemical reactions... especially if you're using more than one.
1000 blessings upon you! Thank goodness someone finally explained air/pressure and how to set up the pump handle.
Awesome, thanks for your step by step narration. It seems simple, but I never figured out the lid locking with the thread. It was stuck and I found the refill very difficult. Now it works after releasing the pressure.
You're welcome!
very helpful. got a second-hand sprayer and was using it for the first time.
Very clear and exactly the info I was looking for.
Thanks for the compliment.
Thank you for this video. Everything I needed to know for using my new garden sprayer.

Thank you so very much for the time and attention to detail that you put into this information! It helped me not only figure out the proper use, but gave me a sense of understanding as well! Much appreciated!
It's my pleasure to help, Jane. Thank you for taking the time to comment, it's great to hear from you.
My sprayer (different brand) came with zero instructions on how to open it up and dump out the contents. Your instructions at 4:05 mark saved the day (lock handle in down position and then turn in counter-clockwise direction). Thanks.
You are welcome, Bill. Thanks for watching the video and taking the time to comment.
This is the most detailed video I could find.
It showed how much pressure the fluid comes out with . How much fluid to fill and the safety etc.
Now I can go buy the 2 gallon sprayer I saw yesterday at Canadian tire for 29$
Just need one to wash off my rims since there is no water hose in apartment parking.
Carwash is expensive.
Thank you mam
You are welcome, Zim. Thanks for watching the video and taking the time to comment. It's always nice to hear from folks who watched the video.
Thank you!! This was perfect, pointed out exactly what I was doing wrong. 3 pieces & I STILL couldn't figure it out lol!!
You are welcome, Jennifer!
You are a very good teacher: thorough, but not excessive.
Thanks, I try to respect your time, but tell you everything you need to know. Have a great day.
Don’t get it. I press the handle , nothing comes out.
Thank you! Your video has helped me in using this kind of sprayer for the first time!
You are welcome!
Great video, right to the point and very well presented. Thank you.
You are welcome, Paul. Thank you for taking the time to write the kind words.
Thanks
Lost directions and couldn't figure out how to get middle part out!
Saved me from frustration!!
You are welcome! Have a great day.
Well done! Thank you. Your video is more informative than the manufacturer's. Would this be good for rinsing/misting windows, brick walls and concrete balcony?
The volume of water that comes out of the nozzle is not huge. I'm not sure if it will suit your purposes.
Video was funny for reasons. Her precise diction. Her accent. And the cute way she says "pump". Good video.
You should try watching the video that I intentionally made to be funny. lol! ua-cam.com/video/iSlT1AUDSfo/v-deo.html
Depending on what your are spraying, wear latex gloves, eye protection, and masks.
Thanks for taking the time to comment with the helpful suggestion.
When you say "hold down the nozzle" to release the pressure, do you mean squeeze the handle? That's the only detail that isn't shown.
Yes, squeeze the handle on the sprayer, releasing the product in the tank until there is little/no pressure. Then it is safe to remove the pump from the tank.
Thanks for the video I normally just buy the pre mixed weed killer but decided to buy a pump and mix my own
You are welcome.
My pump started spraying ,when I started pumping,without me pushing on the sprayer trigger/handle.., anyone know how to fix it? TIA.
I have a similar tank but with a pressure relief valve on the side. I noticed you can turn it one way to relieve pressure and another way to lock it closed. When you are pumping and spraying which position should it be in? I used it to release the pressure but I'm not sure which position it is supposed to be kept in or if the position matters.
The instructions that came with mine were terrible and the manufacturer website was awful too. Although the instructions did say that if you still have liquid in the tank you can turn it upside down and release pressure through the nozzle, thus not having to remove all the liquid to release tank pressure. Thanks for the video - so clear, great.
You'll want the pressure relief valve closed when spraying/pumping the pump.
@@Know-How-Now thank you!
You are welcome!
Very nice video - I actuall was having problems removing the handle insert to dump the old water even with pressure relieved. I have no words of wisdom here but you have to apply very slow connstant twisting motion counterclockwise to get the inset to budge a little. It's like a lug nut that has been over torqued. What I think I can do when I want to put the pump handle back in is to use some type of lubricant to the threads toease the untwisting motion. What do you think?
You could put some silicone spray on the threads . The other Idea would be to wrap the threads with plumber's tape (aka teflon tape). The downside to the tape is that you may have to reapply the tape. There is a chance that it stays stuck in the threads.
I always lay the pump down on the ground--completely away from my face. Even if the handle depressurizes it could still have residual pressure and spray poison on your face when you open the tank.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. That's a great suggestion, contributions like yours add extra value to the video.
Just got sprayed today letting out some pressure
I should have watched this video before the others. Very clear and informative video.
Thanks for the compliment. Sadly, UA-cam has removed the thumbs down count from the video. IMHO, it makes it harder to evaluate the quality of the video.
Very helpful!!!
My neighbors forward this to me !!! 😅😅
I just bought this same sprayer and the instructions were a little confusing. Thanks for the video👍
You are welcome, Dolores. It's my pleasure to help.
You are very special teacher
Thanks for the compliment, Frank.
I subscribed because you understand how people think. Thanks for the great explanation!
Thanks for the compliment, taking the time to comment and for subscribing. Welcome!
Great very helpful had trouble using mine first time I seen that everything has to be fitted perfect or their would be leaks tried it again and no problems
Thanks for taking the time to comment, William. It always makes my day to hear the video has been helpful.
Excellent instructions, very helpful, thank you!
You are welcome!
never used a pressurized pump b4...how do i tell when its unpressurized? i liked video very informative!
If you squeeze the trigger and nothing comes out, (air or liquid), it's no longer under pressure.
That was VERY helpful. Well Done!
After a screw the pump clockwise until snug, then when I try to turn the pump handle 1/4 turn counter clockwise the entire pump turns. I tried pushing down, same thing. Is there something I'm missing?
It sounds like you are doing everything correctly. Did you try making the pump tighter? Is it a new pump? If yes, I would return it and try another one. If it's old maybe the threads are stripped?
Does it spray continuously without pressing.. too hard and hurts my fingers after spraying all one gallon
great explanation if I decide to attempt I know how to use or will re watch ......these things scare me maybe will just use sprinkler...had a battery one from spectracide but when batteries died I replaced & never worked again heard motor noise like wanted to come out checked for kinks saw nothing wrong these are only good for 1 use if your lucky maybe 2 .....
Exactly what I needed, thank you!
Glad it helped!
Forgot to lock down handle! I feel dumb. Thanks!
Can I use a bleach tank sprayer for Mosquito Barrier garlic concentrate and water solution? Thanks for the video!
I'm not an expert plastic/materials used to make the tank sprayers. I do know that bleach can destroy some materials. That being said, the sprayers for bleach are likely made so that the bleach doesn't destroy them. So, my guess is that it would be OK to put that solution into a sprayer made for bleach. For the best answer, you should contact the manufacturer of you tank sprayer.
Thank you for this intro to using a tank sprayer. Very helpful.
You are welcome, Rachel.
Excellent tutorial....thank you.
You are welcome!
Hello, I'm currently looking to buy this sprayer to use it for cleaning purposes with bleach (making a disinfectant with bleach and water), with that said can I shake the tank to mix the disinfectant solution or does pressurizing the tank enough to make the solution get mixed? because the bleach and water solution has to be mixed in order to create a disinfectant.
I'd give the mixture a shake after you close the tank. In hind sight, I should have mentioned that in the video.
i bought a Chaplin that looks like this container. Just trying to see how to assemble it properly.
Thank you. I just use this video it help me refill my tank with water and 🌹 protection solution. It working well. Thanks for sharing.🌟
You are welcome, it's my pleasure to help. Thank you for subscribing to the channel.
@@Know-How-Now sure 🌟
Can you give more details/explanation or show exactly how to release all the pressure?
Squeeze the trigger until there is no longer pressure.
Thanks. Easy to follow and learn.
You are welcome.
Thank You for creating & sharing this helpful info, Know How Now!
You are welcome!
The pump is stuck, even when I released the pressure it would not come undone. At the 4th try it handle that helps screw on and off stripped. Do you have a video for a pump that is stuck?
No video for a pump that is stuck. You might try spraying some silicone spray around the thread area, then gently tap the thread area. Then try turning it. If that doesn't work, repeat the process, wait an hour and try again.
@@Know-How-Now alright, thank you.
You are welcome, let us know if it works, someone else may have the same problem.
Can this be used to spray paint..like on a house roof ?
I've never tried paint, though some people use it for stain. www.olympic.com/how-to-stain-a-fence-with-a-pump-sprayer

I just opened my new Chaplin sprayer and the pump handle is locked firmly in place. I can’t get the pump handle to release. Anyone with a similar problem?
Many thanks for the video. I am able to use my new sprayer now.
You are welcome, Saadi.
Perfect! Thank you, this is just what I needed!
Thanks for the video!
You are welcome, Patricia!
great video. Thanks
You are welcome.
Nice video! Thank you.
You are welcome.
Does the spray have to be full to create pressure? I have three quarters of fluid left but I can never get the pressure. do I need to fill it to the marker?
No, the sprayer does not have to be full, you do need some space for air. When you pump the sprayer it is compressing air to create pressure.
very helpful!!
Great Job!😊
Thanks! 😊
My sprayer is brand new and I cannot get it to spray after following directions, what am I doing wrong??? Help please!!
Maybe it's defective?
@@Know-How-Now I had the cap on wrong, thank you
Very simple and great 👍
Thanks for the compliment, Muhammad.
Can I use this to water my planter around the house
I think it might be too much pressure if you direct it at the dirt. Maybe you could use it as a mister, but the spray area might be too wide. You would have to experiment... if it doesn't work, the big box hardware stores have generous return policies. Let us know if you try it and if it works.
Great video..informative
On this one would you realise the pressure on the side lil valve y turning it?!
Sorry Cindy, I am not understanding your question.
@@Know-How-Now I was asking on a release valve to let air out. I just bought one the other day so lil by lil I'm getting to know mine
I'm not familiar with every model of pump sold. If yours doesn't have a pressure release valve, then you will have to release pressure by squeezing the handle until there is no longer pressure.
Thank you
You're welcome
You saved my day!!!!
It's my pleasure to help, Sandy!

How to tank use pump sprayer
Thank you 🙏
You are welcome.
hi there, I have a similar tank sprayer and I am getting lots of air bubbles making the water spit out. Any ideas as to how I fix that? Thank YOU :)
If the sprayer did work correctly in the past, maybe the nozzle is clogged. You might try cleaning it out.
Very good!
Thanks!
Thank you!
You are welcome!
How do I get a new wand for my sprayer
I searched "garden sprayer replacement wand" on Google and found replacements are available.
Is there a way to change that nozzle? I’m not sure how. Can you do a video on that
It looks like you can buy replacement wands/parts, but it might cost more than a new sprayer. I know, it's sad we live in a throw away society. www.sprayer-outlet.com/Chapin-Sprayer-Parts.htm
Perfect!😁👍
Thanks for the compliment, Chris!
You are a nice lady!
Thanks, I do my best to make the world a better place.
