Hoping someone could point me in the right direction for acid wash sprayers.. all of mine I have ever used have disintigrated from year to year.. Not many hold up at all with Acid...

any suggestions?

I use a cheapy from Wally World or Home Depot and they last a up to a year. They cost $20. Dultmeir's flyer I just got in the mail has one on sale. If I remember right it was under $100. Iv'e been tempted to get it to try, but havn't yet. I'd like to know if anyone else has tried it.

I quit buying "acid" sprayers and use the cheap garden type. I'm careful to clean them when I'm done, and they appear to last just as long......maybe a year or two.

Ditto. Just rinse the cheapies and run fresh water thru the hose after each use.

The key to getting an acid sprayer to last at least a little longer is to rinse it immediately after using it. The first rinse should be with a high alkaline solution (an alkaline presoak will do) then thoroughly flush with fresh water.

I buy the deck sprayer from Home Depot. It's 2.5 gallons, all viton seals, lasts for years if it's cleaned out after each use, costs about $40.
