Chapin 139-1046 48 Oz. Polyethylene Sprayer

It’s a nice sprayer and works just fine but a previous one fell out of my truck and broke the nozzle off. It would be nice if one could buy parts to fix these sprayers.

I used this to pretreat carpet stains in the dining hall in our church. I premixed the shampoo solution and sprayed the spots and then I covered the carpet with damp blankets. The next day I used a rug doctor to clean the whole room. The carpet is over 35 years old and when it had dried even the oldest stains were hard to see. This little sprayer made the job a lot easier while saving a lot of money since I did not have to buy either the normal spray carpet pretreatments nor the aerosols. The sprayer worked graat and the plastic was of good quality. I would buy it again.

Just the right size for spraying sanitizer.

I bought this to spray oxygen bleach on the stucco walls of my house. It worked great. The bleach was made by dissolving powder in water. I had no problem of nozzle plugging. The sprayer was easy to pump and spray. It sprayed a nice mist that I was able to control. I did have a couple problems. One was that when I saw a small plastic tab in the trigger mechanism it looked like a piece of packing material that had to be removed before use. It wasn't; it was what makes the trigger work. I pulled it out and it couldn't work without it. I tried to replace it and cracked it in two. I called the company and they sent me a replacement for free. I struggled a lot and couldn't get it in place, so I called again and they gave me a secret tip for how to install it. The pump sprayer then worked well. I still think the design could be better because that little piece of plastic can easily get knocked off or pulled out as I diid and it was a real pain getting a replacement and putting it back in. Another problem I had was that when I was working on the roof I couldn't set it down. Eventually it slipped off the roof and hit the driveway and the spray head shattered. The bottle is tough but the plastic spray head is hard and will shatter. Not that anyone is going to toss it off the roof onto the pavement, but just keep in mind that it's not bulletproof. Overall, I'm pleased with it. Glad to have the brass nozzle and to know I can use just about anything in it.

This product never worked well from about 1 week in. And progressively got worse. Now the whole pump tube is warped. Had to shim thumb valve with another 0-ring to get it to stop spraying or leaking.
