Spray Equipment Clean Out - Expensive Lesson

The Hypro D30 Diaphragm Pump on this Weed Control Sprayer was totally destroyed because the technician did not check the spray equipment filter.

Here is a photo of the filter:

The clogged filter caused the weed control sprayer pump to run dry and hot.  Eventually the diaphragms burst and the oil ran out of the pump.  The technician continued running the pump without oil, resulting in the total destruction of the pump.

This situation cost the owner over $1000 to repair.  It was totally avoidable.  It is critical to keep your spray equipment cleaned out.
