Filter System Added To 2 1/2-gal. Hand Sprayer

Filter System Added To 2 1/2-gal. Hand Sprayer SPRAYING Miscellaneous 22-4-33 My yard man loves the filter system I added to his 2 1/2-gal. hand sprayer. It eliminates plugged-up nozzles so it saves him a lot of time. I used a 3/4-in. short barrel T-type strainer with round screw-on 40 mesh screen and sediment bowl I bought for $9 from CT Farm Country (3915 Delaware Ave., P.O. Box 3330, Des Moines, Iowa 50316; ph toll-free 888 828-2376). To install it on the sprayer, I cut the rubber hose in the center and simply attached it to the hose with two 1 1/2-in. clamps. Before coming up with the idea, my yard man was constantly tapping the sprayer nozzle to clear it. Now, all he has to do is empty the sediment bowl when it gets full.
