It seems that my Hydroforce sprayer is not really putting out enough chemical.
I went the route of 4 to 1, when I first got it.
I checked the small filter it's clean, and I can see the foam from the prespray on the carpet, it just that I can go a few weeks without refilling the container when I use to fill it every couple days.
I figured something is clogged somewhere.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

I often use 2 jugs a job at 4to1. One jug on smaller jobs. I lay it down heavy.
You can get a repair kit for about $35 but I woukd buy a new one if i had it awhile.

You said you checked the small filter?? The hydraforce has 3 by my account. 1 inside the jug at the end of the pickup tube 1 at the quick connect inside the handle and possibly 1 at the spray tip especially if you have a tee jet it'll have a ball check strainer (looks like the one in the handle but has a sping loaded check valve to stop drips) also can have a ball check strainer screwed into the back of a vee jet but i don't think that comes standard from hydraforce so when you said you checked the small filter which one? Do you have a real hydroforce or a cheap Chinese knock off?

After monkeying around with mine on and off problems, buying parts and dealing with jerk chicken vendors….i decided to go the route of 5 gallon sprayer with wheels.

I pimped it out by changing the pump to higher psi, changed the wand to hydroforce pump up sprayer i had laying around, installed a more flexible hose. Changed the tip. Easier mobility.

Never looked back.
Works for me.

That hose that's attached to the barb inside the HF dries and gets stiff, which will start to pull air up in the hose, causing less pull. Put a fresh hose on it and see how it works. If it still doesn't pull any chemicals, just replace the dema

Yeah i need to replace mine again. It starts sucking air at the barb. Ive had to flip mine upside down to get it to draw in the past. Its an easy way to check it.

He could be mixing the prespray to thick also. I only add 3 scoops to a gallon and use soft water. It lasts so much longer now. Ive been trouble free for about 6 or 7 years with this one other than the feed tube drying out and cracking. It only lasts a couple years.
