  • Pump and pump. Most quality models have pneumatic sediment, which creates good pressure.
  • Valve. It is installed for the safety of the device by letting off excess air. This does not lead to pumping of the container with its subsequent rupture.
  • A pen. Located on the lid, its configuration and size affects ease of transport and pressure generation.
  • Barbells. They differ in size, method of attachment to the hose. There are two types - conventional and sliding construction. They are made of plastic, in cheaper models, or of metal, acquired by a professional.
  • Filter. Its use allows to increase the operation of the sprayer. The filter retains particles of different fractions in the solution.
  • Extension. Increases the size of the boom, which makes it possible to process trees.
  • Spray. It is designed to distribute the water jet evenly.
  • Nozzles. They are used in cases where it is necessary to change the flow and force of the jet.
  • Liquid tank. It is produced in volumes from 0.5 l to 20. A small pump-action sprayer for flowers is used no more than a liter, and for a tank of 20 liters is used in an area with an area of ​​15 acres.

How to use a pump sprayer for car wash

DIY drip irrigation

Consider the instructions on how to wash the car with a pump sprayer.

  1. You need to take a pneumatic sprayer and fill it with plain water. You can use special detergents for cars, but then the cleaning process will take longer. Be sure to wear a special fine spray nozzle.
  2. Pressurize the sprayer reservoir and start touchless cleaning. You can use several sprayers - one is designed for a liter, and will be used for hard-to-reach and small items, the other large to wash large and bulky parts.
  3. Start cleaning from large parts of the machine to small ones. Large elements, such as the bonnet, side doors, tailgate, sills, are cleaned of dirt first. Then the flaps located on the inner side of the wheel are washed, they reduce the ingress of dirt on the body.
  4. The caps and wheels are cleaned last. In terms of the amount of water, they are the most expensive, as they contain small parts and hard-to-reach places.

The advantage of washing a car with a sprayer is ease of use; no specialized knowledge and skills are required. Thanks to the good pressure in modern devices, a good water pressure is created that can remove even stubborn dirt. Disadvantages - constant interruption of work for pumping air, since the pressure drops and the jet disappears, therefore it is better to use the accumulator type.
