[John LaBarbera]

Here's our latest pictures of our new bottle with the "big mouth." What do you guys think?
THESE ARE SEE-THROUGH BLUE JUGS - YOU CAN SEE THE LEVEL OF LIQUID

john,

not to put mytee down or anything, but what makes that sprayer better than others like the hydroforce? and yes i obviously see that it doesnt need to be taken apart to fill or empty. any other goodies i dont see?

How do you tell how much product you are pouring in?

 

[John LaBarbera]

Hi Scott,

You're right. A sprayer is a sprayer. The big difference in these replacement bottles is that they are translucent so you can see the chemical level, are life time warrantied against the housing leaking. The tether keeps the cap from falling when you're refilling. Both the 5 and 7 qt. fit the hydroforce wall holder. We are also roto-molding the holder. It will sell for only $20.00.

Well I'm interested. I've got the holder for the 5 quart mounted on my door but I quickly learned I prefer the 7 quart so it has to ride on the floor.

How much and when will they be ready?

 

[John LaBarbera]

Hi Joey,

Greenie and Cobb has them. About $18.00 for the 7 Qt.

Here is what I see but I am only looking at the picture without the real product to compare.
You say translucent. I have translucent gas and kero jugs but without real good lighting it is still hard to see through them. The blue looks real nice but I would rather have transparent.

The seven quart style like the five quart style only taller is going to be easier to tip over and I see techs unknowingly tipping it over with a loose cap and spilling 7 quarts of prespray on a carpet.

Forget the tethered cap. It's only going to get in the way and make you spill product unless you use a funnel.

Looks like you cannot fill the jugs from the rear port to max. capacity without tipping the jug forward. And if the cap is not secure, more leakage.

But next time I make an order I will try them.

 

[Lyman]

get rid of the tether, it will get in the way when filling

 

[hogjowl]

What'cha got for us high heat guys?

 

[Curtis Pennington]

Us High heat guys....lmao

 

[Wandslinger]

How about a site glass/strip of clear plastic with a quart or ounce marks.

Curtis:
I realize you have no way of understanding this, but in-line sprayers don't perform well once you get above a certain temperature. I believe it is somewhere around 230 or 240 degrees.

You stupid redneck.

 

[TimP]

How much for the whole set....including the sprayer and non adjustable injector valve???


Also are there any plans for a 5 gallon solution bucket. One of mine sprung a leak so I will be in the market for a new one that wont spring a leak.....

they quit working well before that
180 to 200 degrees MAX and they're done

You stupider redneck.

John didn't mention it has a SS cap and metering tip as well.



I think I need to test one. :shock:

 

[John LaBarbera]

Hi TimP,

The whole Sprayer 5 qt. is $149.00 a few dollars more for the 7 qt. We're working on a roto-molded stacking chemical shelf. A 5 gal. roto-molded chemical jug is a great idea. Maybe will have one at Mikeyfest '09.

John

 

[John LaBarbera]

Right, Mikey. Maybe you'll win one if you attend Mikeyfest '09.

 

[Mikey P]

Jon Don bought a banner and even they don't get this much self promotion...

 

[vincent]

get rid of the tether, it will get in the way when filling

Negative IMO, it keeps the lid from rolling under the van or down the driveway. The best things are in the details, nice job John.

 

[John LaBarbera]

Thanks Vince.

Mikey, I heard you gave them the banner. Are they going to Mikeyfest '09? How many "yes's" did you get?

 

[TimP]

Hi TimP,

A 5 gal. roto-molded chemical jug is a great idea. Maybe will have one at Mikeyfest '09.

John

Just let me know when you need my information to get me my royalty checks. :mrgreen:

 

[Mikey P]

Gave?


Hell, they're the only ones that have actually paid so far.

 

[John LaBarbera]

Mikey,

I thought you were waiting for the "fat boy" style?

 

[Mikey P]

I am, hold off.



Oh, the ASPCA paid for their banner as well.

 

[John Olson]

hey mikey that stuff ain't free you keep ordering..sheesh

and John i'll be ordering some now the fill neck is bigger still want to see a wide body

 

[Mikey P]

Olsen, did you get beat up a lot as a youngin?


You'z got NO senze of humor.

 

[Dolly Llama]

wide body??

are ya'll talking about that Boss thingie??

it's too big for average res job.
Might be fine for large com and those that work in Highrollerville, but the average schmoe doesn't need or want a sprayer the size of a small porty.
and if a fellow utilizes the capacity, the cotton picker becomes 60+ pound piece of gear to carry upstairs.
If he doesn't utilize the capacity, he's wasting space in the van or bringing in more balk than necessary to Mrs Phiff's home

HF missed the boat when they designed the Omni.
They made the thing too darn big and balky for a 2.5gal sprayer.


John, make a sprayer similar to the old HF 3gal model that's been discontinued.
Make it with the same pump, it, and Multi-sprayer uses.
I saw a pic of your spotting machine, a few mods and changes to the over all layout, and it could become fine 3gal sprayer.
Make it a corded model to keep price down and a lot of BDCCs will buy them


..L.T.A.

 

[steve g]

IMO the only redeeming new features of these are the metal coupler that attaches the unit to the jug, and the cap tether, otherwise I still like sals jug better

 

[John LaBarbera]

Hi Meat,

The "fat boy" is a wide body spray injector bottle. You've got a good idea on the electric sprayer in a body similiar to a spotter, but I'm broke right now. "No mon, no fun."
Is the a ribeye in the picture?

 

[John Olson]

geez Mikey you always miss my sarcastic humor

John i'll order some jugs tomorrow help ya out with that broke thin. :wink:
