Hudson 90162 Super Sprayer Professional 2 Gallon Sprayer Poly

My wife and I decided to re-coat our concrete driveway and colored concrete paver bricks. We scrubbed with a muriatic acid solution and a pressure washer which resulted in a clean surface for the clear "wet look" lacquer coating. The first part went well and we decided to clean the garden sprayer since the lacquer dried very quickly and partially clogged the spray nozzle. The lacquer specified that only xylene solvent could be used for clean up - which we did. It cleaned the sprayer really well and we went on to refill the unit and pressure it up. It was then that the sprayer hose broke down and started leaking catastrophically, spewing the lacquer everywhere. We went through two additional sprayers before we finished the job. Recognizing that the solvents would eat up PVC tubing used in the sprayers we searched the local "big box" hardware stores for something more solvent resistant but had no success. The sprayers mentioned on the lacquer label could be found online for $150-200 which was more than I wanted to spend. I was lucky enough to find this Hudson sprayer at Amazon that had the solvent resistant features I was looking for. The price was right and the unit arrived in less than a week. Taking it out of the box and assembling the sprayer demonstrated heavy duty construction and solvent resistant hoses and fittings. We finished the back decking using the new Hudson sprayer and were impressed by the ease of use and robust quality of the unit. It is exactly what I was looking for at one sixth the price of the other solvent compatible units. We are very pleased with this sprayer and are confident it will provide many years of service for all of our spraying needs.Update December 12, 2010 - after the second round of cleaning the unit out with xylene solvent, the hose started to "melt" and the sealing gasket started to show signs of attack as well. Everything else seemed to hold up OK.

this works perfect for my needs i spray about an acre with this by handits as good as the day i bought it a year ago

This is my second sprayer I purchased. First one worked well. Second one came unable to build up pressure. Something is wrong with the threads or something else where the hose connects to the tank. I used my other hose and coupler from my other sprayer exactly like it and that didn't solve the issue. I already had chemicals in the sprayer so I am unable to return or use.

I opened the box, and was expecting the typical cheap thin low quality sprayer, but I was wrong. I love the solid feel and ease of use.The sprayer is easy to assemble took me just a few minutes and she was pumped and spraying.I tested it with water first, no leaks, held the pressure well.I love the de-presurize valve on the side.It feels great in your hand easy to carry and comes with 2 nozzles, one for a fan type of spray and once is more like a mister.Overall I am happy. I will post again once I have used it for a few months.Thanks Amazon for the quick ship as always!

Great to find a real USA made item. These sprayers work great and are really good quality.

I bought the 3 gallon model in April of 23. It's now April of 25, and I'm once again shopping for a pump sprayer. This sprayer worked well for me for 2 seasons, but this year as soon as I started to pump up the sprayer; chemical came spraying out from around the trigger mechanism and covered my hand. When I checked my Amazon account to see how long ago I bought the sprayer, and to see what I paid for it; I noticed that the price had nearly doubled. I will be looking for a different spayer.

I have a problem with aphids on my lupine. I had a smaller sprayer before and it was constant trips to refill. Now I use this 2 gallon sprayer for my Neem Oil and one fill does it all.
