Gro-King 25 Gallon Garden Sprayer Reviews

I worked in the Cannabis industry as an IPM technician. My supervisor ordered two of these to keep Foliar sprays and oil sprays separate from our DRAMM hydra. A month in of careful use about 5 times a week and these are already breaking down. It’s very clear from the beginning that these were never tested in the field. The suction hose inside the tank is too long and halfway through a tank, will float on top of the liquid and pull air through. I had to tie the hose like a pretzel to get the end to stay on the bottom and it still leaves about a gallon of fluid in the tank at the end that can’t be sucked through. The drain is leaking on one of the tanks even with Teflon tape applied. If you tighten the plastic cap too far, it will pop off the threads and you have to retighten and have to try and find the sweet spot, which it will still leak. Whoever designed the handle to the cart, is not bright. It’s an open triangle shape and when you are wrapping up why hose, it can get wrapped up in the handle which adds to the frustration if you work in tight spaces indoors like I do. The spray gun is junk. One of the guns doesn’t automatically shutoff when you release the handle and you have the push it forward every time yourself to shut off the spray. The other gun will actually stay spraying even when fully pushed forward in the off position and just randomly shuts off when it feels. For what we paid for these sprayers you would expect a much better performance and not have to make modifications straight out of the box to get these to work as they should. We also have a 50 gal DRAMM hydra which after using these is an absolute dream to use. The gro-kings have been an absolute nightmare and I complain to my supervisor every day that I have to use them. They regret the purchases and are basically using them because the money was already spent and we’ll use them until they break completely, which they are well on their way already. I wouldn’t pay any amount of money on these for my personal gardening and especially not for a greenhouse operation. Heed the warning and use your well earned money to purchase a higher quality product that is actually going to last.

I purchased a grow king sprayer. The pump fried because the electrical contacts are exposed to all the moisture you are spraying. Then the super fancy stainless steel spray gun, that justifies this crazy asking price, snapped down the center of the steel housing. Save yourself alot of headache and money and purchase a paint sprayer for $300.00. That outperforms this lemon!
