I’ve also used a blender and a
cheesecloth strainer.

Two ideas: we bought a "cheap" electric blender and use an old
pint jar on it to mix powders with water, rather than shaking.
Also, my small sprayer has a screen/filter on the bottom to help prevent
"stuff" from getting to the nozzle.

Hello All,
I have a question for all small, pump sprayer users…
I have two one gallon, pump sprayers, and no matter how diligent I am with
rinsing either with water, and water with dish soap after usage, I cannot get
half way through spraying my one gallon of spray, without the darn tip
clogging.
I premix my powders with warm water in a glass jar, shake them up, then add
that concentrate to sprayer. I even use reverse osmosis filtered water
thinking that hard water was my issue and I still have tip clogging problems.
Is there a secret to prevent tip clogging in small pump sprayers? I am
totally frustrated and disgusted with the tip clogging problem at this point.
I have even filled them with warm soapy water after rinsing and allowed that to
all spray out, and still I get the problems. Should I use vinegar or
ammonia as a final rinse?
Thanks,
Tom
