Sprayer Options

Anyone using one of the Green Leaf LG 05 ss sprayers? There are many branded versions out there, but here is one at a really good price.

I also played a little with a 2.5 gallon sprayer called the Green Gorilla that had a really unique power pack. Seemed to work really well, but the price kept me from picking one up yet. Anyone have one of these?

I am still using inlines mostly, but I do like the auto sprayers when using a peroxide mix...easier to get the measurement right.

Been using a multi sprayer for years but having to wind and unwind the cord sucks. What ever you get Rob when the pump goes out replace it with an aquatec they are bullet proof I think Joe can get a good price n those.

Joe build us a battery operated sprayer that doesn't cost 4-500 hundred dollars would ya.

Seaswirl is our guy. I've been holding out for him to finish his. Only been a couple years now. C'mon Pete.

I used the first one you posted. Worked ok for about a year then just quit.

I bought a rocketsprayer and that thing has been bullet proof! Runs forever on a full charge.

That's right he did mention that to me as well

Rocketsprayer....interesting.

My multisprayer quit on me during the theater clean and that makes 2 pumps in 3 years...not fond of that since I don't use it all that much anyway.

Yean the POS flojet that they used to come with suck. I replaced with an Aquatec 4 years go and it's still running strong.

The rocket sprayer is the 5 gallon one right?

Yes. It comes also with a backpack option.

I changed the hose to a 50 ft., but other than that not a single problem in 4 years.

REALCLEAN, Does encap clog the tip?

No. I've kept it pretty heavy too, often 8 oz. per gallon. I've never had to clean the tip.

That's prob cause its S/O/E though. Even if some dried on the tip it would release immediately because its so brittle, which is a good thing.

Looks like Judd aka REALCLEAN made another smart move getting that Rocket sprayer.
Just talked to the guy who makes em. Basically, I asked him all the Qs you guys would wanna know and he Aced the Quiz.

Not only is it a good sprayer, good price, $339, proven durablility, but it's family owned, he doesn't use distributors, he builds them all himself, stands behind them himself, even helps you over the phone troubleshoot if you do have a problem so you don't have to send them in.
I liked the guy - his name is "Kit Lewis"  - so much I told him I'd send him some samples of Joedorcide to put in the ones he sells to carpet cleaners. So I get some promotion out of the deal too.
Just love the guy's Model cuz it's exactly the RC Model... find the manufacturer and buy direct from them so you save money $$ and if/when there's a problem, you know who to talk to - the same guy that actually made the thing.  
He did tell me that he's gotta raise the price here pretty soon cuz his costs are goin up but I made him promise anybody calls from the Lounge that they get the $339 price. But I don't know how long he'll honor that.
You get free Joedorcide but you gotta ask for it.

Or something bulletproof, multiple tank options, endless sprayer posibilities, here's my commercial time/money maker. Impossible to fail I might ad. Oh and less initial and lifetime costs.
Behold, the end all...

That's a nice setup for commercial work Charlie. Is the cart you used originally designed for a cutting torch?

Charlie,
Can you make them for cleaners?
How much?

Ha! It's a welding dolly/cart, I think that's what cutting torch means?
Yes Joe I could, I've done how to video on it I will have to find later. Also written parts lists on the other forum somewhere before... All depends on how long of hose and how high quality of gun.
Anyone want a parts breakdown?

Only been a year! Not ready till its ready! Working well but need to change a few things. Its like fine wine it takes time!

Just looked up the Rocket Sprayer hadnt seen that one. Thats a good deal, the problem i have is getting the price down yet use high quality pumps etc... I'm going to order a rocket sprayer to try.

You'll like it. Real easy to work on or modify. I have two of them now, one for carpet, one for weeds.

My favorite feature is my favorite feature on everything, reliability.

whats the psi on the rocket sprayer and you adjust it ? or is it fixed?

Adjustable from @ 20-95 psi.

Milspec. I have been using that spayer for about a year. I think this was talked about somewhere here. Great sprayer. Really like it. Best battery sprayer I have ever had.

Pete & Judd oughta get together. Pete, send him a prototype to play with. He'll give good input.
Make us a Floater soon as you can.
I can help you get cost down, Aquatec at cost and maybe help make parts it needs.
Let's go.

I asked the Rocketman about pressure and he said there is a knockout built into the unit... slip in an allen key and adjust the pump.  Set at 65 at factory, adjustable up to 80.

We need to get the guy some pictures of real cleaners using the Rocket Sprayer.
I'll pay $25 for any pic they end using.  

Plus you get a free Joedorcide if you ask at the time of purchase.
It is solvent safe isn't it?

I'll take a picture of mine with the 50ft hose I've attached. Posting it may be an adventure though.

OK, but I'm thinkin you'd be wasting your time with a pic. Rocketman won't want to advertise your improvement.
I asked him about it... says he's been making them since '88 doesn't see the reason.
Of course he doesn't even have a carpet cleaner in any of his pictures although he says he's sold hundreds to cleaners.
You might be better off doing us a video on how to change out the hose the way you did it, the parts, etc  
Surely some guys will want to do it.
Do it good and win the Video contest.
You could maybe even sell the kit yourself.
Buy 1000' roll of the perfect hose, cut it, crimp it, supply the fittings, Boom! out the door.

For a picture, we need to give him a uniformed tech with truck in the background or tech with IICRC patches prespraying the carpet.
We need to do the same for Pete.

This place is sooo gonna take over the real sprayer world. 

I've always thought the rocket sprayer was too big for residential but rarely do just use just 2 gallon on a residential job.
