The device was shipped with some kind of material clogging the spray heads. I removed them with a suitable wrench, rodded them with a bristle on my steel bbq brush and rinsed them. On reinstallation - no problem.

I haven't had this problem but I suspect it has to do with the sprayhead seal. Look in your user manual at the section about cleaning your unit. It shows pictures on how to re-seat the seal after cleaning. If the seal doesn't look damaged (worn or torn areas) try taking it out and putting it back in with care that it matches the picture format.

We used a pipe cleaner and occasionally would soak it in a diluted bleach mixture. I believe there is a Nuby cleaning kit.

As you know clean up is the draw back of this sprayer. Turpentine or alcohol based will be tougher to clean up. As you know this will require immediate clean up.

If the sprayer is not working, there may be a clog. We recommend vigorously shaking the bottle for at least 60 seconds to agitate the liquid inside. It is also recommended to soak the nozzle in hot water to break up any clogs. Please contact our Consumer Relations Team at 1-855-5-HAVAHART (1-855-542-8242) if the issue persists.

I had no problem with the sprayer when new. After a few years, depending on the hardness of your water, it will clog up. But just soak the sprayer head in CLR or a similar calcium solvent and it should be OK.

No. Not really. It works great. I have used a safety pin to clean it out every now and then but have never had it where it was completely clogged up.

A regular pump sprayer is fine with this- I haven't had any problems with clogging. Just be sure not to use a sprayer that previously held weed killers or you may inadvertently knock off some of the plants you are trying to protect.

Sure a reg spray bottle will work for a time . It may eventually gum up or the Citrus will effect some of the parts in the sprayer

i haven't had any problem with this. As an FYI DON'T use the Bissell cleaning solution stuff. It WILL plug up the sprayers and something in it's innards. I was able to unclog the sprayers but the the innards had to be fixed by a pro. I am now using an organic alcohol based cleaning solution that is working very well. I don't know if this would void any warranty you may have.

Unscrew and clean out the spray 'head' above the fillter container; it might have become clogged over time. Or request new spray head from the company; we got a free one that slows down the water coming into the filter and keeps it from overflowing.

I have had this problem too but have found that there are kinks in different areas of the tubing & so I just get the kinks out & the sprayers work again.

There is a screen at the nozzle. Unscrew the nozzle and take it apart and clean all the pieces.

If the clog is from hard water as in lime and calcium buildup, unscrew the jets and soak then in CRW or Lime Away overnight. The buildup left over will flake off easily. Make sure to thoroughly rinse the jets before reinstalling

Sometimes you have to open the back and loosen the grip on the stem. As far as clogging you may need to change whatever you are using in the sprayer. I use airbrush food coloring. If you are using it for nail polishes you can use a nail polish remover. I haven't had any clogging issues so i truly don't know what the problem is. You may need to return that machine.

I have not had a problem yet with the sprayer, but do empty the cleaning solution.

Easy - use a bleach based spray cleaner. Just squirt front and back and let it dry. It will be good as new.Throwing it in the wash machine is not nearly as effective.
