RL Flo-Master 2602HB Hybrid No-Pump Sprayer

This is a great system because of the dual pressure system. Not so much because of the water hose attachment, but with a male end and about 2" cut off of a garden hose, you can easily make a air compressor connector and have a tri pressure system. With that you can quickly re pressurize from your air compressor without pumping or connecting to the garden hose. I had the first edition of this and have used it for about 12 years until it finally broke, I'm glad they still make the hybrid dual pump because I can use my simple fitting that I made and utilize this new model as a tri pressure system once again. For the past 12 years I use the air compressor 90% of the time to re-pressurize.

Decent product worked great at first but broke after 5th use

I ought this at the end of the season and just opened the box today to kill lantern fly babies. 1st. The instructions are so small I cannot read them even with a magnifying glass. 2. And even what I can see, does not make any sense! 3. They do not identify the parts or tell you where they belong. 4.There is a small red piece that does not fit anywhere! 5. And when I inserted the straw, it bangs against the bottom and seems too long! 6. AND to top it off, the strap is missing from the box!!! If anyone sees this, can you please email me how to put the nozzle together? I have had other sprayers not anywhere near as complicated as this one! [email protected] Shelley

The instructions left a lot to be desired. The writing was extremely small and didn't show a picture of assembly steps. However, I managed to figure it out based on my old tank sprayer.

It broke the first I used it. It. Sucks

This is the perfect sprayer for the home gardener. You don't have to mix too much spray to use and then store appropriately leftovers so you can clean the sprayer between chemicals. One gallon is easy to manage for carrying as well. I especially like the fact that once mixed, pumping up to pressure is nearly, and sometimes completely, eliminated. I've had my original RLFlowmaster sprayer for more than 5 years and it works just like the 1st time.

Purchased this sprayer in May, 2018 and it worked well for rest of the year. Stored in garage over winter. When I tried to use it in March, 2019, the plastic wand had developed holes, looks like actually separated in a few places, and the lock mechanism where the hose is attached to the sprayer would not seal. I called RL Flowmaster but customer service backed up. They refer to website, then to use the "parts and service" link, but there is no such link on the website. Overall rating pending final resolution of the 5 year warranty.

I was expecting a sprayer that I could pump up using my air compressor. Manual pumping is tough on my bum shoulder.This product doesn't meet that expectation. All it comes with is a type of plastic adapter that can be attached to a garden hose. Presumably, filling the tank would cause the remaining air in the tank to be compressed ... at least to the limit of city water pressure. Conceivably, the pump could be modified to accommodate an air compressor. But that would take some effort and additional cost. A simple Schroeder valve would have been a better choice.I gave an extra star for Value for the Money because it's still a good quality Flo-Master manual pump sprayer.
