Preval Sprayer

I filled the jar with Eco-Flo dye, attached the dip tube to the power unit, screwed it all together, and... nothing. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? It just doesn't seem to be drawing up the liquid.

Edit: Strike that. I needed to let the dye warm up a bit, it seems. It's been in my truck for two days and it's freezing out there.

It might be clogged. Some dyes seem to have a lot of pigment & they'll clog easily (& make sure the unit is THOROUGHLY cleaned after every use). Take off the little filter on the end of the tube & try it. If that doesn't work, try to see if you can spray clear water through it. If not, it's a defective unit. Return it & raise hell if you need to.

Glad you got it sorted out!

Nah, no hell-raising would be necessary. I bought it from Froghunter and he'd never give me a hard time about a defective product. He might give me a hard time about breathing his air ;-) but never if I had a problem with something I purchased from his store. (I have to factor in an extra hour per store visit just because we all get to talking!)
