Default Water sprayer

Need something, one or two galons. That I can pump up and
rinse dust out of equipment. Compressed air doesn't clean
well enough. Gotta be water. The garden sprayers from the
store are the right idea. But, the new ones with the plastic
wand just don't have the flow.


Make one. Find an empty refrigerant canister of the appropriate size, and
hook a hose to the valve. You can get kits to convert these to air tanks
that have a Schrader valve so you can pressurize them with compressed air.
If you get one with a dip tube that would be best, but if you cant find one,
just invert the can to squirt water.


All of the newer refrigerant disposable cans have check valves
as per government meddling for many years now. You might be
able to find an old one in an old motor room somewhere that
doesn't have the check valve.
