Nice idea but I would go one step farther. Once you have the desired spray pattern, I would check the air pressure and in the future use the pressure as the guide to airing it up.

Thought of that . I think I will need a low pressure gage like for ATV . These tanks are not made for high pressure . Just guessing but 3-5 PSI would be my guess .

The one that I could find pressure info on says 280kPa. 280kPa = 40 psi. I know that the ones that I have hand pumped are definitely much higher than 3-5 psi.

Here is one from Harbor Freight that indicates its maximum pressure is 45 psi.

Hmm might have to try my tire gage . I know the one for my ATV does low readings . But it is at the lake .

Good morning. Looks like we will be in for a couple of hot days.

Only 2 here....I am letting one hatch eggs the other is being iced. I put an ice bag under her. Hopefully, she gets the point.

Maybe put a pressure gauge on it and see what pressure is optimum. Any idea how much pressure they work with?

I am guessing the cheap plastic sprayers I use would not work.

Again, I should have read further.....A portable air tank would give 20 or more refills..I like this idea.

Anyone finding any mushrooms? The locals are finding a lot of morels but we haven't had any luck...
