Hudson 90163 Super Sprayer Professional 3 Gallon Sprayer Poly

My wife and I decided to re-coat our concrete driveway and colored concrete paver bricks. We scrubbed with a muriatic acid solution and a pressure washer which resulted in a clean surface for the clear "wet look" lacquer coating. The first part went well and we decided to clean the garden sprayer since the lacquer dried very quickly and partially clogged the spray nozzle. The lacquer specified that only xylene solvent could be used for clean up - which we did. It cleaned the sprayer really well and we went on to refill the unit and pressure it up. It was then that the sprayer hose broke down and started leaking catastrophically, spewing the lacquer everywhere. We went through two additional sprayers before we finished the job. Recognizing that the solvents would eat up PVC tubing used in the sprayers we searched the local "big box" hardware stores for something more solvent resistant but had no success. The sprayers mentioned on the lacquer label could be found online for $150-200 which was more than I wanted to spend. I was lucky enough to find this Hudson sprayer at Amazon that had the solvent resistant features I was looking for. The price was right and the unit arrived in less than a week. Taking it out of the box and assembling the sprayer demonstrated heavy duty construction and solvent resistant hoses and fittings. We finished the back decking using the new Hudson sprayer and were impressed by the ease of use and robust quality of the unit. It is exactly what I was looking for at one sixth the price of the other solvent compatible units. We are very pleased with this sprayer and are confident it will provide many years of service for all of our spraying needs. Update December 12, 2010 - after the second round of cleaning the unit out with xylene solvent, the hose started to "melt" and the sealing gasket started to show signs of attack as well. Everything else seemed to hold up OK.

I opened the box, and was expecting the typical cheap thin low quality sprayer, but I was wrong. I love the solid feel and ease of use. The sprayer is easy to assemble took me just a few minutes and she was pumped and spraying. I tested it with water first, no leaks, held the pressure well. I love the de-presurize valve on the side. It feels great in your hand easy to carry and comes with 2 nozzles, one for a fan type of spray and once is more like a mister. Overall I am happy. I will post again once I have used it for a few months. Thanks Amazon for the quick ship as always!

It is called a professional sprayer, but there is nothing professional about it. You can pump it until you can barely lock the handle down, but when you start spraying it last for all of 10 seconds. I had a much cheaper one that lasted several years and was more of a professional sprayer. I wouldn't waste my money on this so called Hudson professional sprayer it is not worth it unless you don't mind pumping it every few seconds.

this works perfect for my needs i spray about an acre with this by hand its as good as the day i bought it a year ago

Air leaks

Good sprayer, low price and fast shipping.

Great to find a real USA made item. These sprayers work great and are really good quality.

Great sprayer. The only bad thing is the hose kind of collapsed on itself in 100 degree weather. But the hose on these sprayers is far more durable than the hose on solo pump ups.From a professional carpet cleaner that has tried a lot of different sprayers over the years. I also like being able to see through the side for a visual indication of how much solution you have.

This is the second sprayer I've tried with toilet bowl cleaner and the second brand that has melted after one use!

Used for sparying in garden and spraying weed killer. Very good product.

I like the fact that it is easy to fill and use. I use it for spraying insecticide and leaf fertilizer.

Looks good but have had several issues

Worth the extra money
