FAQs
Can I use strong solvents in this sprayer?
This sprayer is designed for water and standard gardening chemicals; avoid using strong solvents that may damage the seals.
How do I release the pressure after use?
The sprayer features an integrated pressure release valve; pull or twist the valve mechanism to safely exhaust air before opening the bottle.
What is the maximum capacity I should fill?
While the bottle is 5 litres, you should only fill it to the 3.5-litre mark to leave enough room for the air pressure to build effectively.
Is the nozzle replaceable?
The adjustable cone nozzle is designed for adjustment, but keep it clean to ensure it remains functional throughout the life of the product.
Can I store chemical mixtures in the bottle?
It is not recommended to store chemicals in the sprayer; always empty and rinse the unit after each use to maintain equipment integrity.
Troubleshooting
Sprayer fails to build pressure
Check that the pump cap is screwed on tightly and ensure the O-rings are not cracked or dry.
Nozzle spray pattern is inconsistent
Unscrew the nozzle head and rinse it in warm water to clear any debris or sediment buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Hozelock sprayer, ensure the cap is tightened securely after filling to maintain a perfect seal. Always rinse the unit thoroughly with clean water after each use, especially if using chemicals, to prevent nozzle clogging and seal degradation. Store the sprayer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to extend the life of the plastic components. Periodically check the pump seal to ensure it remains lubricated.
