Proper Storage of Sprayer
Prevents Costly Repwrs
Proper storage of fruit sprayers during the winter will prevent costly repairs later, says Fred Dreiling, associate horticulturist at VPI.
Here is his advice:
First flush out tank and pump and drain all water from the sprayer before it can freeze. Re,move all drain plugs.
A weak muriatic acid solution will do a satisfactory job of cleaning spray residue from the outside and inside of the sprayer. However, do not leave the acid in the sprayer long enough to damage the metal. Wash thoroughly with clean water after the sprayer id cleaned with the acid.
After the sprayer is clean and dry, a rust preventive can be usedi to cover the inside and outside. The spray rig itself can be used to apply the preventive. Dfain the excess compound from the sprayer. Rust preventives are superior to ordinary cleaners and oils.
Store the rubber suction and discharge hoses and nozzle gaskets in a cool dark place. Put valve balls anl nozzles in a can of rust preventive compound.
