We bought ours at TSC (Tractor Supply Company).

Plant Wash is a granular, water solable fertilizer that has been engineered to fortify plants after sodium hypochlorite and or sodium hydroxide cleanings. Special note hose end sprayers for use with dry products do not have feed hoses that pick up the products from the jar. Hose end sprayers for dry products have no hose in the jar and only have two ports in the top of the inside of the sprayer. One for pressureizing the jar with water and a larger one for feeding the slurry to the stream of the sprayer.

Here is a good quality hose end sprayer that Ace Hardware sells.

The daisy sprayer screws off the front to expose a male hose thread for adding a sweeper nozzle to.

Hope this helps.

 Ok I am having problems getting this sprayer to work. I fill the bowl up with plant wash turn the water on and nothing but clear water comes out. Shouldn't I be getting purple colored water. Any advice?  Same thing happens with the Miracle Grow sprayer.  Am I the only having this problem?

Tried that, didnt work. the only way I can get it to come out is to change the sprayer selection but then it only sprays purple for a second and goes back to clear. I had two guys here yesterday with me trying to figure it out. Frustrating cause I know it should nt be this hard.

I have not been able to find one local at all that has a hose connection on both sides.

I bought this one:

I like the fact that it uses different containers.

It does a bad job at trying to rinse a house with BLEACH WASH. If I get 5 ft. out of it's stream I'm lucky. I hope it at least will work with the PLANT WASH I got last week. I have not had a chance to try it yet. When I do I will let you know how it works out.

 Chris,

I would order the ACE one online for sure.

I recieved the hose end sprayers I ordered. I will try them out this upcoming week while house washing in Indian Land, SC. We currently do not have any roof cleaning scheduled in the Fort Mill, SC or Indian Land, SC Areas, so I will not have a chance to use the PLANT WASH.

Please hurry, I still can't get mine to work.

Yes read it the other day when it was posted, also did what you told to me by phone. Still not working. I have some in my sprayer that has been in there for over a week, fully diluted, still won't spray. Frustrating. I am using a small shure flo pump and spraying out of a five gallon bucket for now.. But have no idea if the dilution is right and I am probably wasting it. Would really like to get it working out of the hose end sprayer so I can show these guys coming to my school how to do it. Will wait for the video.

OK will try that today

8 oz per gallon, not to exceed one pound per gallon.

Great, thanks AC. Any advice on how much to spray using this method, should be looking at flooding the roots and leaves, a heavy watering, meidum, light, etc etc.

Also, what your thoughts on using the our pump system to apply Plant Wash after we have rinsed it with Bleach Wash?

 I think it would be much easier to just add a small 35 gallon tank to your trailer or truck system. You need to use a high volume pump or else applying enough to the plants will take forever.

You need to imagine yourself scrubbing the leaves of the plants with the liquid if you know what I mean. A real therough application! Then flood the roots as well.

This is going to add about 20 min to each job, however if your focusing on the right clients you should be doing $1,500.00 a day in 3 stops or less.

No. I just use a a little shure flow pump or I throw it down like fertilizer and water it in.

Chiming in late here on an old thread, but I wanted to see if I could share a little of what I learned today while looking for a sprayer to apply plant wash from several searchs and reviews.

1) The spray head comes off so you can use this in line with a water sprinkler to apply fertilizer/plant wash around your house. Nice dual purpose there.
2) The ACE brand sprayer appears to be a Gilmour brand relabled with the ACE store logo.
3) I found this specific sprayer and various similar Gilmour hose end sprayers and the reviews were mixed. The only common negative remarks were that the gasket for the tank wasn't installed properly from the factory and leaked like crazy. Several people took the time to remove the gasket and reinstall and they said the sprayer worked great after that repair...so if you go pick one up at the local store, take the time to remove the tank and inspect the gasket first.
