Great pump...even BETTER if you change the pump seal. See picture.
Best sprayer I've used, and I've gone through many. Word to the wise, if you use vinegar and dish soap instead of the expensive store bought weed killer, don't leave the pump immersed in it for long periods of time. I did exactly that and it caused the bottom seal of the pump mechanism to shrivel up and lose the ability to seal. I bought the "Roundup 182349 Universal Lawn and Garden Sprayer Repair Kit with O-Rings, Seals and Gaskets" for $4 on Amazon to fix it. In fact, after I installed the seal from Roundup, the pump worked better than the day it was new. With the 3 gallon tank about 90% empty (meaning a lot of room for air), about 10 pumps is all it took to fill it up with air! Even when this was new, I had to pump it 20-30X to get it full of air. For the price you can't beat it! I've own three other tanks prior to this, one being an expensive backpack type, and none lasted more than one season of 1-2 month usage. Even the $150 backpack tank failed after three months...and with no rebuild kit available, it went in the garbage.
