My e-z jet stopped working completely! I cant get a drop of water out of it! Loved it for fertilizing. Is it fixable?

If its still under warranty you can send it to manufacture and probably get a new one. Unfortunately, it's not cheap to send back.

Dennis, you won't have any problems for years. My son left it uncover and water got into the gas. We fixed it by draining the water with gas and replacing it with new gas. As long as it is out of the elements this lawn boy self propel will last for years to come. I love mine!

I was very disappointed; mine would not mix the water and MGrow properly and shaking it didn't help. The one I had years ago did work, but this one didn't. I bought the Miracle Gro liquid sprayer and it works perfectly. I'm sorry I hadn't tried this one before I reported on it, but I assumed it would work the same as the one I had before.

I would try a little water in there and I had to do some adjusting on the tip when I first used it but once I got it adjusted we were fine. Listen for air leaks and make sure you have that tip adjusted for the right spray.

Buy the concentrate and use as much as you need, then rinse out your sprayer, don't keep mixed product. We have saved the concentrate and used that year to year with no problem. Just keep it where it won't freeze and thaw. Last year was terrible for hydrangeas and even wilt pruf didn't save the buds when we had prolonged very cold weather early spring. Let's hope for a better year. Christine and Richard

Sorry, mine just stopped working pretty sooner after purchase. Took it to designated repair shop, no parts available. Greenworks sent me another model for replacement, no problems so far, better design.

It worked great for a year and now won't make any mist. Someone said electrodes may be clogged with minerals from my water. True? Should I scrap or try to fix?

Mine stopped working because the overpressure valve failed. No matter what I did, I couldn't get enough pressure built up to make the water come up through the coffee grounds and into the top chamber. Maybe your S.A.F.E. valve needs to be cleaned? If that doesn't resolve your issue, I'd say it's junk.

I just used a regular garden pressure sprayer. I mixed the concentrate according to the directions and no problems here. Does this side of you house get wet when it rains.... Maybe you could try wetting the house with a hose a few times as this works best with regular rainfall after it dries. Mine gets better with each rain. I usually do mine every two years.

I agree with everything that Bob said. The only thing I would add is for you to contact the manufacturer, tell them the problem, even if you fix it yourself. They will replace it. I've already had that experience and overtime the handle parts separated again on my sprayer. I did call and they immediately sent out a complete new handle and pump replacement. Wonderful customer service. I love this sprayer because it's so easy to use. I may buy another one to use just for herbicides

We had to replace the sprayer because it was doing the same thing. New one works fine. You can get them on Ebay.

I had asked the rep and was told that any thin oil viscosity similar to water can be fogged thru tri jet . do not fog flammable liquids though ! iwanted to use neem oil myself and it has amazing coverage in garden. I hate pests!

I believe it can be fixed but seems like a lot of trouble. I tried opening it nut it was hard to get to the part that needs replacement (some sort of thermostat fuse or something). There are no guarantees how long that fix will last so for me, it's not worth the trouble so I just bought one of those microwaveable bottle sterilizers.

There are NO air or water jets, so there is nothing to clog. I use epsom salts and essential oils in mine

Ms. DiMasi. I have observed the same bottom spraying as you describe when the water is no longer high enough to be pumped up through the discharge outlet and concluded that it is caused by the impeller spinning. The reason I replaced the pump switch was due to opposite experience to yours: One of our three pumps was running constantly every several cycles and overheated because of the absence of water. I believe, if the switch failed to close (rather than stick closed as in my case) to start the pump, your experience seems to be a reasonable outcome. Since your pump works only infrequently, I suggest that you replace the switch on top the pump as I did. The pump itself is tough and durable. Cost of the switch is low and replacement is easy if you remove the hose clamp from the discharge pipe to free it and lift the pump out of the well to a comfortable working height. Happy to answer any other questions. Good luck!

My spray didn't work at first either. I just unscrewed the top, and then I put the bottom of the spraying component in a glass of water, and then after attempting to spritz the water it ultimately worked. After that I put it back into the bottle and everything worked fine.

Have no idea as the jets work fine within my first few months using it. Perhaps contacting the company by email or phone would be the ideal way to get an answer.
