Tried my Hydroforce sprayer for the first time today seems to be a lot of water coming out of it theres a 05 jet on the end of it is that the standard jet size for these or could you use a smaller one also theres a constant drip coming from the end of it at the jet but it wont loosen or tighten stuck solid anybody any ideas how to loosen it cheers Darren.

use stilsons on the barrel, should come off then PTFE it, thats what i did at the top part of the barrel that joins the grip.

I use 11003 what ever that means but it very fine, drip probably the trigger, don’t think you can get spare parts new one about 30quid

If the drip isn't from a thread or seal, then there could be something obstructing the nozzle, might be worth carefully sticking a fine pin in it (not too roughly, presuming it's a brass nozzle, otherwise you'll mangle it up!).
You'd probably get away with going down to an 04 or even 03 like Len, I suppose it might depend on the model of sprayer and the pressure it's being used at. If you put too small a jet on it, you'll get back-pressure - what's coming from your pump will end up going the wrong way down the venturi pipe and fill up your sprayer's container.

Jim! Use copper wire, no matter how careful you are with a pin you'll still open up the hole. Keep your pin for your willicks.

I said "carefully"! :)
More importantly, what the feck are my willicks?
How have I survived this long not knowing where they are?
Will I have to have them removed when I'm older?

That' a new one on me. Is it a Northern thing. My dad is a Geordie, I'll ask him. :)

Willicks = a kind of sea snail. Guess you southeners call them winkles!! ;D

Was at my local prochem dealer today they put some PTFE tape on it like Derek said and its working fine the company i bought from in USA i emailed them today and they are sending me out a 03 and 04 jets its a different type of jet thats on the Hydroforce Sprayer dont no were i would get them in the UK.
-
Your Prochem dealer?
-
If you are talking about the jet for the sprayer John i dont think Prochem sell them i dont no anything about these jets they are different from the jets on my wand.
-
Are they 1/8" threads rather then the 1/4" that most wands use? Nick sells a 9503 1/8", but there must be loads of places do what you're looking for ???

Done a office today nearly 100sq meter used the Hydroforce Sprayer what a diiference used it at 200psi even with the 05 jet it was fine so it would probably be ok for domestic but would still prefer a 03 or 04 jet for houses.

Jim if you are talking about the V jet nozzles on there website they are totaly different the jet and the nut are built in its all the one thing you cant loosen the nut and change the jet as it is all the one thing if that makes sense.As for Solutions i phoned them about 2 weeks ago for a 015 jets they said they would phone me straight back still waiting.
