    Can you leave e.g. eucalyptus oil in these and use it the next time? 😅

    I've been through 2 of the Bunnings 1L (the one with better reviews). First time was vinegar for a couple weeks ate out the bottom rubber piece so it wouldn't build up pressure properly again.

    Second bottle, I never used vinegar, just eucalyptus oil and water and leaving the whole top unit off and not submerged in any liquid betwen use, that same shitty rubber piece at the bottom of the pump disintegrated again within a few weeks..

    • Alley Cat on 12/08/2024 - 14:00
      +8

      Maybe the lesson is to empty the contents into another bottle and clean the rubber pieces after use? There are reasons why you should never buy essential oils that come in plastic bottles. All oils really, because that’s what they do to plastic in general.

      • WasBargain on 12/08/2024 - 15:05
        +1

        I'm not doing that every day.. 😅

        I was only using a max of 20ml (usually 10ml) essential oils to just under 2L of water to dilute pet stains for vacuuming, I never realised it'd be such an issue.. 😅 I also never seen or even realised people sell essential oils in plastic bottles.. I thought they always came in glass to help them keep longer.. 😅

        • a1234my on 12/08/2024 - 16:48

          Now need some essential oil deal

        • Alley Cat on 12/08/2024 - 17:00
          +1

          Bicarb, vinegar and bleach can all work individually and/or together similarly to what you are doing with essential oils if it’s to remove the smell and disinfect/kill bugs.

          Aldi sells eucalyptus and tea tree essential oils in plastic bottles once in a while 😅

          I have ruined a fancy stainless steel drink bottle (plastic cap 🫠) from a single drop of oregano oil, a very hard lesson to swallow. Granted, oregano is the strongest oil there ever is, but still… Never touched olive oil, honey and other food that comes in a plastic container ever since 😮

    • Balls on 12/08/2024 - 14:00

      the bunnings 5L is far superior, ignore the low average (but high number of ratings) scores, the key to make these last long is do not pump too hard on the pressure

      • WasBargain on 12/08/2024 - 15:00

        Hey, thanks for the tip!

        I meant to say the 2L one from Bunnings. The Aqua Systems one, that had better reviews than another similarly sized and priced model.

        I always pumped quite hard, but made sure to use up all the pressure or atleast depressurise it myself when I was done with that job. Next time I won't pump soo hard!

        • antman on 12/08/2024 - 16:35
          +1

          Yeah most of those bad reviews are from people over pumping. I would recommend having a wand version as well though.

      • bashar20 on 13/08/2024 - 08:16

        Which one at Bunnings? They have several.

    • darian64 on 18/08/2024 - 12:52

      I found tea tree oil solution would penetrate the polyethylene bottle of a small hand sprayer fairly quickly, leaving it sticky on the outside.

      Vinegar tends to corrode metal parts in the sprayer leaving no easy way to spray it. I'm looking for a way to spray warm vinegar on paper towels on a heavily deposited shower screen to ensure it remains in contact with the crud long enough to work and can be replenished as required.

        I'm looking for a way to spray warm vinegar on paper towels on a heavily deposited shower screen to ensure it remains in contact with the crud long enough to work and can be replenished as required.

        Vinegar is a bad idea, it dissolves grout.

        Just grab some bathroom cleaner like https://www.bunnings.com.au/selleys-750ml-complete-clean-bat… and the glass will come up sparkling.

        • darian64 on 20/08/2024 - 17:54

          No grout in my shower to worry about. It's not soap scum but precipitated minerals from water evaporation. Various acids don't clean it off but just mostly run off, so I wanted a method to keep them in contact with the crud for longer. Higher temperature also speeds chemical reactions.

          Go to Bunnings and get an adapter for a house tap, they're like $8 and the valve for them is reversible so it surely fits one of your taps.

      No way - this is not a "pressure sprayer" in the sense of a Gerni/Karcher. It's essentially just for spraying weed killer on the lawn.

      Yes it does! Buy two units. One with a strong detergent ratio mix, the other one a dash of detergent for lubrication. Spray the strong concentration first then rubadub with sponge then squeegee. Finally spray it with the other unit then squeegee to finish off. I use method to clean my solar panels when it's not overcast.

  • paulq00 on 12/08/2024 - 14:26

    Would love to know if anyone has any experience with any pressure sprayers lasting. Despite cleaning & drying after use, using an "O" ring replacement kit with the Bunning's one, I've nearly always had to buy a new one the following year.
    I've been tempted to try one of the battery ones, but with the initial high cost am worried they will not only have trouble with seals failing, but also trouble with batteries, pumps, electrical boards also failing! Would also like one with a decent nozzle & wand.
    Any insights from anyone?

      I just loosened every part that has a seal after using (takes 10 seconds). Re tighten before using. You can't leave them all tight.

      Using a $9.99 sprayer from Mitre 10 maybe 15 years or so ago.

      • skillet on 12/08/2024 - 21:36

        Yes my Hills pressure sprayers is more than 10 years now. Rinse after use. Fill with water then pressure up, flush the system by spraying. Drain everything, then store with main seal untighten.

        For automotive brake cleaning fluids I use the 1L hand pumps they don't last very long.

    • bashar20 on 13/08/2024 - 08:20

      The SCA one above lasted me 4yrs. It now keeps spraying. So looking for a replacement.
      I only rinsed the main body. But never bothered cleaning the wand. Not sure if to get same or get Bunnings one.

    • BigBirdy on 13/08/2024 - 09:13

      I’ve been using the same large Bunnings sprayer for 6-7 years, spraying chemicals (initially weed killer, now usually bleach). I’ve not replaced any seals or other parts, but did have to cut the end off the hose when it kinked & cracked at the outlet. I always run a few litres of water thru it when I’m finished.

    • thanatos350 on 12/08/2024 - 17:42

      I tried one of these (Big W version) as a foam cannon before I bought a powered washer.

      If you make a couple of holes in the pipe and stuff some sponge into the nozzle, it actually kinda sort of works. It isn't amazing, but is better than it really has any business being. I would recommend typing "foam cannon hand pump pressure washer" into YouTube for a look at how to do it and how well it works.

  • try2bhelpful on 12/08/2024 - 15:18

    We used something similar to this to spray water on our herbs in Summer to stop the leaves drying out in the heat. We also use an old canvas awning as a shade cloth.

  • prankster on 12/08/2024 - 17:00

    I’ve seen different models at Bunnings, I guess more expensive but some of them had the backpack component - is it worth spending more to get one of those ones instead of this one because not the end of the world but you have to carry it whilst spraying?

    • JohnoAU on 12/08/2024 - 18:04

      Yes. They're as good as youll get. There are no metal parts on these. Ive had one for over 6 months. We have white pvc (polywood) furniture under trees. They get sap on them and need a weekly spray. Come back as good as new, so this is a pretty good test case.

      Also fyi.. all plastic non-metal ones are hard to find… so this is definitely what your looking for.

  • Chances on 13/08/2024 - 07:56

    Excellent value! Got one 4-5 years ago. and still use it regularly (misting my orchids/plants).
    I do have to source replacement parts ( nozzle and O-Ring) from eBay and AliExpress though.
    Might just get another one for parts and backup since the price is so low.

    Proper maintenance is a must even for a cheap sprayer.

    I did tried a SOLO branded one (mist not fine enough for me), but still prefer this one.
    Another one from Capital is simply garbage.

        • junet on 15/08/2024 - 13:14

          I haven't used the SCA/Bunnings one so not sure the difference. But i did use the Hills one today to do 5L of weed killer and it was super easy. There's a strip nozzle included in the pack that fans out the spray better than a circle nozzle. I figured with the Hills warranty if there's any problems they'll be dealt with compared to no warranty on the SCA / Bunnings one.
