Sprayer Depot Blog

Sprayer Depot is more than just your one-stop shop for all spray equipment, parts and accessories. We strive to build strong relationships within the spray equipment community and across industries. We are proud of our long-lasting relationships with customers in the agriculture industry. That's why every spring we join in observance of National Agriculture Day, officially celebrated on March 15th, 2016.

Spring is almost here! Two weeks ago during Groundhog Day, Punxsutawney Phil officially forecasted an  early spring. However, don’t be so quick to pull out the shorts or store your winter coats just yet. According to the U.S. National Center for Environmental Information (NCEI) we still have a few more weeks of winter to go.

Spray tips may be the most neglected component in your sprayer. We sell the best, most reliable and highest quality spray tips on the market, like Hypro and TeeJet. Let's face it though, even the best tips don't last forever. All spray tips wear out and eventually need to be replaced. A worn out spray tip can result in improper chemical application which can often have serious consequences including loss of crop, wasted money and even potential health risks.

The life of a spray tip depends on the abrasiveness and corrosiveness of the spray solution, so it's important to select the right spray tip for the application. Replace spray tips and nozzles immediately if you notice a change in flow rate or a change in pattern distribution.
