It's important to know the tools you're using. Nozzles may seem like a basic part of your operation, but care should be taken when inspecting and selecting your nozzles.
In a previous post we cover most of the important information about nozzles, such as the numbers on nozzles, choosing the right nozzle, water pressure, and replacing your nozzles. Click here to visit that post.
Following is some helpful images and a video that can assist you with the care and selection of nozzles.

The injection or inline sprayer is an important tool you should have in your equipment. But it is equally important to know how to use and maintain it. Westpak's 8:1 fixed sprayers are designed for lower pressure (about 400 PSI) and also lower heat (less than 212°F).
You'll use this tool to pre-treat your cleaning area. The chemicals go into the jug while you connect the sprayer to your solution line. The sprayer mix or dilute the chemical and water through siphoning at the metering block.
If you use higher pressure or too high of heat the 8:1 mixing ratio will change, or you may not siphon chemicals and be simply spraying water. Also be watchful of any buildup of chemicals or other debris in the sprayer system. This will also prevent the sprayer from working properly. You should keep it clean, not only to maintain a professional appearance, but also that it may work properly.
If you're in need of a new one, the sprayer is on sale at 10% off this month. Also check out the video to see more detailed information about the sprayer. If you have any questions or comments let us know.
