spot sprayer pump corrosion/protection

[Soundguy]

After using a pump at work, we just run a little water/eco-safe antifreeze mix thru it. It has water pump lube built in.. won't freeze up in the winter, and has corrosion protection.. plus isn't poisoness to animals...

John, You spray reclaim W/O remedy on mesquite? I was going to use the brushbusters foliar mix, but I'll I've seen so far is the remedy/reclaim mix. I've just been using the remedy/diesel cut stump method so far and I've cleared thousands of trees.

Dupont is mighty proud of reclaim, aren't they? 187.00/gal

Mark, maybe I should have assumed that it would be one of those two, and I really don't know enough about them. I've had a fair amount of experience with ShurFlo pumps in RVs (12 volt demand systems, potable water only). I also repaired a neighbor's pump on a 25 or 26 gallon spray rig, and I've used my brother's 50 gallon spray rig (both of which were 12 volt bypass systems). But ShurFlo makes so many different ones with pressures from 20 psi to 150 psi, and different models may have Viton, Santoprene, or Geolast diaphragms. Now I don't know all the differences in what chemicals have an effect on those materials. But if I were you, I'd just contact ShurFlo through the web site I posted earlier to be sure. I can tell you that we only flushed them with clean water, whether they were being used for insecticides or herbicides, but there may be a better way.
