My sprayer starts out having great pressure for about four minutes and then it fizzels out. I get is a small stream. . What do you think is the problem?

Any time I have had a similar problem, it had something to do with the seal between the head and the tank. Take a good look at the seal in the groove on the head, and take a paper towel and use a small screw driver to wipe it clean. Then make sure you really tighten the head to the tank. If this did not work, and your unit has a pressure relieving valve, check and make sure it is not leaking when tank is pumped and pressurized. If the wand is somehow leaking you may have to buy a new wand.I'd put my money on the seal between the tank and head.

You can purchase a repair kit online. I have found you need to do this every year!

The brass pick-up tube inside the tank may have developed perforations allowing the air to be expelled without forcing much liquid up the tube to the spray hose. It can be repaired by unsoldering the pick-up tube where it passes through the tank and replacing the perforated portion of the tube with copper tubing.

Make sure the spray bottle is pushed all the way down. It clicks when it is in correctly. If there is still an issue get a replacement.

I don't know. My husband had no problems. Was your sprayer clean before using this? If you had something else in there and forgot to clean it out, it might have caused a problem. Did you make sure it was mixed? Also, did you make sure you had the right amount mixed in the sprayer. These are the only suggestions I have. It worked great for us.

Check and make sure the valve is open all the way so the manifold gets full flow and make sure there are no leaks or cracks and the mister nozzles aren't clogged up , mine works great but the nozzles occasionally get plugged up with alge.If that doesn't work .....maybe a bad pump ?

Sorry I didn't have this problem. Are you turning the water flow to the sprayer off after use? Mine leaks some if I don't. Good luck!

Hi George,I would first check the pressure in the holding tank to make sure it is correct.Have seen where water will come out fast but trickle off quickly and this is sometimes the problem.

Sorry, I just noticed that you said you just hooked it up and ran it for 30 minutes, so there probably isn't debris build-up yet. Sounds like air in the pump.

I have not seen this happen since installing but I have noticed the hose has started to blimp up near the connection to the Claber. It is like the pressure of the water has been stretching the hose near the fitting but I have no leaks still. Just wondering if it might eventually blow out. When I installed I made sure the hose had a nice clean cut end and that it was pressed on as tight as it would go to the Claber fitting. Then I made sure I tightened the Claber fitting as snug as it would go and it has been water tight since. You might not have torqued it down tight enough is what I'm thinking.

I am not sure what the problem is. When I use mine while I am spraying I continue to pump when I feel like the pressure is letting up.

Im not sure if you found the answer to your question or if it got fixed, but in my case it was a clogged tip and line. Im thinking it maybe a clog in the line or tip. Also check the cylinder, it may need some grease work. hope this helped.

What is the issue? You didn't really explain what the issue is. If it is flowing slow, you may have to remove the screen in the connection hose to your water source on the faucet. I've had this faucet for three years and it is amazing. If anything, you can call price pfister and they provide free support

I agree with everything that Bob said. The only thing I would add is for you to contact the manufacturer, tell them the problem, even if you fix it yourself. They will replace it. I've already had that experience and overtime the handle parts separated again on my sprayer. I did call and they immediately sent out a complete new handle and pump replacement. Wonderful customer service. I love this sprayer because it's so easy to use. I may buy another one to use just for herbicides

In response to M. Hursh, it may be possible that it was not pumped enough to build up the pressure needed before the spray. It does require a few pumps before the top becomes stiff and it does not last long if it sits a while from my short time experience with this product.

Try spraying it for a longer period of time. When I first spray it, it does that. Or try a different kind of oil.

Just make sure the end of the sprayer is set to " on". If you look carefully, you' ll see it says either "off" or " on". It can be turned to either setting. If it's set to "on" and doesn't spray, return it or try to find a compatible sprayer.

We had to replace the sprayer because it was doing the same thing. New one works fine. You can get them on Ebay.

Sounds like you have the mister full of oil. It should only be filled 50% or less so you can add more air to it. It's like using a garden sprayer, the lesser the fluid and the more air you can add, the longer it will spray.
