Thanks. You solved my problem. I was not aware there was a clear plastic tube inside, and I couldn't figure out how the liquid was supposed to be drawn up to the outlet hose. The tube had come off. I reconnected it and it works. Very useful video.
Thank you so much!!! You should charge Flo-Master for tech support. I spent 45 minutes trying to get this to work. Then I saw your video and sure enough there was a plug in the tube. This should be in BOLD in the assembly instructions. Thank you again!
Flo Master - what an INCOMPETENT company. Wait till it is time for replacement parts. Flo Master doesn't pick up their phone. They don't answer emails. Their website is non-functional ......just try their "contact us" screen. They purchase junk from you-know-where ......and sell it cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, ......to any retailer. Then when it fails, guess where you're supposed to go for replacements. YUP ....SOMEWHERE ELSE .....like Amazon .....and good luck finding the what you need. NOPE. FLO MASTER. Use it a few times and throw it away and purchase another one. .
Thanks for making the video. I too had the same problem. However, I had used the sprayer last year so I knew it was not the same problem, but had to do with a air leakage. So, I opened up the hose connection, to see that the tube inside had got disconnected from the main sprayer hose, as the inner tube it was cracked. It had sufficient length, so I cut off the cracked part and inserted the tube back. I used a drop of oil to allow it to slide in easily. The sprayer works perfectly! :)
I knew mine didn’t have the plug because I had successfully used the sprayer before but this video did cause me to take a better look at the inside hose which ended up being cracked almost completely in half much higher up than the liquid level. So I broke it off and filled it up and it worked like a charm. Thanks!
I think it's a coincidence that removing the "plug" made it work. Likely, removing the hose/tube and reinstalling it sealed the leak. That "plug" you refer to is a filter and if it gets clogged then the sprayer doesn't get the full amount of liquid through the hose to the nozzle. Look carefully at the end of the plug, it has 6-9 holes in it the block gunk in the bottom of the tank from entering the hose. With the plug off of the tube, use a hat pin or safety pin or any thin wite the size of the holes and just clean out the holes, replace the plug onto the tube and reverse the process to reinstall everything. Since you have the tube out, it's a good time to check the connection of the white tube to the hose, make sure the tube isn't cracked or separated. If it is cracked, you can pull the tube off of the hose, clip the cracked portion of the tube and push it back onto the nipple at the end of the hose ... good as new.
Thank you for putting this video up I just bought the same as yours and i couldn't even figure out how to set it up the directions were a bit confusing but when I saw how this item is supposed to work I was able to save a return trip to Walmart.

thanks so much it was the problem with the plug in white hose in the jug God Bless you for helping us all .you have Blessed day 6/1/2020 in state of Virginia
The green piece inside wand doesn't come out far enough for the lever to push. Tried to fix it and now I can't find lever. Is it possible to get that section of the wand?
Thank you sooooo much for this video! I never would have figured out what was wrong! I also had to take the nozzle off completely. It didn't look like it was stopped up, but the sprayer had been sitting in a box for years before I decided to use it, and there might have been a little dust in it. Anyhow it's working perfectly now, and I thank you!
Thanks so much!!! I actually returned my $5 Walmart gallon before I saw this video, and picked up from Lowe's for $10 instead. Too lazy to return, but at least I now know why it didn't work!
I have a problem with my Flo-master it leaks from the valve, I have to pump it very often because it looses pressure. I'm thinking of plugging it I think that will work. or is there another way to fix it?
Thank you, sir! Mine had the plug in there too. Luckily I watched your video before I even tried to use the pump, just to prepare myself for anything that I may not have foreseen. I have no idea why they put a plug in there. Maybe so people will buy another one of their pumps, since this one only costs $5.00 at WalMart, and they make other ones that cost more! No, surely that's too cynical to be the real reason :)
Thanks but mine was stupid me leaving the weed kill and it conjealed into goopy mix and blocked the pin holes intake which i just pulled it out and cleared the blockage and all good.
I have one that is similar to the flo master ..the only thing is the spray nozzle control would not shut off...once I pumped up..the liquid keeps flowing out ...I hope someone can help.thanks
Jesus Christ. The sun is going down while I wait on the repetition to stop and the help to begin. EDIT: 5 mins later, there’s a plug in his white tube. Not mine. But maybe yours. You’re welcome.

Thanks for watching, Denise
Thank you! I didn't have the plug, but in checking for it, I realised the tube was loose on the inside, and now it works
You’ve saved my mom butt this morning! I’ve never used a sprayer and thanks to you I’m back on task🙌🏻

You fixed yours. Mine was blowing air only as well... and sure 'nuff the tube was plugged. So, you fixed mine. Thank you!

How long does the spray last once you have pumped the container of fluid up?

Thanks for watching. Put Vaseline around the rubber ring to keep it from drying out and cracking
THANK YOU!!!! They should pay you for giving better instructions than the product printed instructions! Bless you!👏🏼

thanks so much it was the problem with the plug in white hose in the jug God Bless you for helping us all .you have Blessed day 6/1/2020 in state of Virginia
Thanks for watching, Barbara
You use liquid fertilizer or water soluble fertilizers? Sometimes the o ring is bad .
Thanks for taking the time to share your solution.
Thanks for watching. Happy to help.
My clear tube as described has split, and it causes the air suction and sporadic spray. A simple replacement.
Thank you! I was having the same problem! All fixed up now!
Thank you for saving me your same frustration.

Thanks for watching, Kathleen. There are no replacement parts for this sprayer. Buy another one. They are cheap.

Thank you my friend for taking the time to help others , you save my day 😀 you are wonderful , God bless you !
If you get air out of the nozzle, there must be a leak somewhere in the line inside the bottle. Reading the instructions is not a bad thing.
Thank you, kind sir. I believe I have now solved my problem also, with the same situation you had. Kudos to you!
Thank you sir it really worked
Well guess what my friend? You were right. Thanks a lot for sharing this info. 🙏💪🏼🙏
Thanks for watching, Puma
thank you SO much!!!!! This was JUST what was wrong with mine, you are amazing!
Glad I am able to help. Thanks
thank you so much! This helped us fix ours! We had a to long hose though and had to cut it. This is not advised though as it is very hard to cut.
Just bought one today. Got the 1 gallon on sale for $5. Thanks for the tip.
Wow thank you so much! I was so frustrated!
How do I assemble it ?
Thanks so much!!! I actually returned my $5 Walmart gallon before I saw this video, and picked up from Lowe's for $10 instead. Too lazy to return, but at least I now know why it didn't work!

If it's new exchange it or buy a new one. They're cheap
Oh my gosh I have to go try that I was having problems... thank you I hope it works for me I'll let you know.
Is the plastic stopped underneath
The mono valve coldd
Thanks for the tip... 😂 I took it out but still no spray.
Thank you gonna try it right now
Thanks! I had the same problem 😲
Thanks a lot. I had the same issue. Now it's spraying fine.
Thank you

Thanks for the info but it could have been covered in 2 minutes
I agree lol
I was having the exact problem but it was because I forgot to install the white siphon tube..
How do you unscrew the pressure lever to pour in the content?
Grab the handle and turn it
Anyone know how to use the red spray nozzle included in the repair kit (attached in a separate plastic bag) to the wand?
You saved me some headaches! thank you!!
Thanks but mine was stupid me leaving the weed kill and it conjealed into goopy mix and blocked the pin holes intake which i just pulled it out and cleared the blockage and all good.
Great video ! Walmart should REMOVE that plug before shipping !
Thank you soooooooo much
THANKS 😊
Thanks for the info..I found the plug too
The lid is stuck.
is it a plug or a filter?
It's a plug. Remove it.
Thank you for the GREAT EXPLAINATION SIR I just got one and tried to spray for bugs but it didn’t work then seen this video so thank you
I have one that is similar to the flo master ..the only thing is the spray nozzle control would not shut off...once I pumped up..the liquid keeps flowing out ...I hope someone can help.thanks
Thank you. This worked!
Thanks big help ..:)
I found mine had a clogged nozzle
Thank you!
This could’ve been a short video explaining it within one minute what was wrong would’ve been over
Jesus Christ. The sun is going down while I wait on the repetition to stop and the help to begin.
EDIT: 5 mins later, there’s a plug in his white tube.
Not mine. But maybe yours.
You’re welcome.
I’m getting a lot of air, too. Hot air…from you! Blah, blah, blah. You must get paid by the word!
You have demonstrated what you don't understand.
Omg. The plug!!
Thank you but I wish you would of gotten to the point instead of talking on and on about things we did not need to know.
What's the hurry? You are probably in lockdown. Do you have an appointment somewhere?
Could've said the fix you had in about 30 seconds without all the complaining
No
cheap shit...2nd one i bought that doesn't do a spray..just a flow of water. Ready to throw this one out like I did the other one
I’m such an idiot :)
All you had to say was what the problem was, 30 seconds. I appreciate knowing the answer but didn't need all the other non essential information.
Where do you need to go? You are supposed to stay at home.
if you put it together you were the problem
John Johnson NO. I BOUGHT 2; THREW THE FIRST ONE OUT. BOUGHT NEW ONE, NO FINE MIST JUST FLOW OF WATER
Thank you
