The pump is the heart in the anatomy of a sprayer. This is by far one of the most important parts in your spray equipment. It requires regular maintenance so it can function as efficiently as possible. The 8000 series diaphragm pump is SHURflo's most widely used agricultural pump. There are two styles in this series, automatic-demand and bypass.
What's the difference you ask? Automatic demand pumps have a pressure switch on the head that will shut the pump off when it reaches the desired pressure rating. When you spray the wand the pump will turn back on because the pressure has been released. Bypass pumps are not equipped with a pressure switch and continuously run when the pump has power to it.
If your pump suddenly starts acting up use this helpful infographic to troubleshoot it. Whether the pump head leaks or the pump won"t shut-off, check each of these suggestions to pinpoint the problem:

Ah…summer time. That unmistakable grilling smell in the air, baseball games, thunderstorms, striking sunsets and, of course, mosquitoes!
Mosquitoes can quickly ruin your summer fun. They can become more than a nuisance and can even spread various diseases. Some easy prep work before spraying can ensure better efficiency of your treatment. Mow weedy areas and water the lawn within 24 hours of application and be sure not to mow again after at least two days of application. Thin out overgrown shrubs and dump any standing water. Research has shown that misting offers better coverage for mosquito control so make sure you choose the appropriate nozzle and adjust your stream to a mist pattern. Motorized mist blower backpack sprayers, like the Solo 451, are quite efficient for mosquito control applications.
There are also a few Best Management Practices for mosquito control that are important to keep in mind, such as:
Surveillance: Identify problem species and population trends in order to improve control methods
Mapping: Utilize maps to define treatment areas and keep track of major sources of mosquitoes
Set Action Thresholds: Determine a control measure to be implemented based on analyzed data
