Can the sprayer handle a bleach water ratio without corroding?

My sprayer cannot. After 2 months of using a 1/4 cup bleach, 32oz water, 2 teaspoon dishwashing liquid only once a week (to clean 2 bathrooms), the black rubber in the head of the sprayer has started to deteriorate. I contacted Chemical Guys immediately, and again recently, but they are not responding. Also, one sprayer head completely separated (broke) with very little screw on force. I am severely disappointed. Some people say they use pure bleach and it performs well. Maybe Chemical Guys are using different rubber (silicone?) in the heads. Mine has black rubber that bleeds out every time I use it.

I would assume so. We use this for oxalic acid when bleaching wood and have had no problems. Before purchasing I googled "DuPont Viton seals " and found what they are resistant to. For the price, we are very happy with this sprayer!

No. It has additional minerals that counteract the osmotic process in the unit that will lead to less efficiency, and a shortened service life for the washer ultimately leading to corrosion that will rust the unit out.

It should take off mildew easily with or without bleach. As long as the cleaner is okay with plastic it should not be a problem.

Yes, never use acid in metal sprayers...The seals will eventually swell and go bad with acid over time in any sprayer...

This is an excellent sprayer and it does not leak unless your metal hose end is damaged.

No problem with spraying, it works perfectly and it's absolutely a clean unit.

I use non-chlorine bleach and it has been fine, I do not think bleach is recommended.

I have used this sprayer several times since I purchased it, and the water pressure is quite high here. I have not had any leaking issues with this product.

No, water has to flow through the pedal valve before it can enter the sprayer line. That is a good thing from my experience with a wand that attached BEFORE the valve which would leak.

I don't know as I have not considered using a sprayer. I think I saw a US distributor on Google that is in SF. Maybe that would give info needed.

Not that I know of. This has not been a great sprayer for me since I used a combinaton of white vinegar, salt and a small amount of dishwashing detergent which is effective in killing weeds. Unfortunately, the combination of spray ingredients rusted the inside of the sprayer and clogged up the nozzle tip with rust bits. I am very disappointed since I spent a lot of money for that sprayer.

I have used the sprayers for Olive Leaf Extract and Poo-Pouri which are both quite thick liquids, so suspect Olive Oil and the like would not be a problem.

I actually use this sprayer for my landscaping business and it works very well. I've had no problems at all.

I don't know. My husband had no problems. Was your sprayer clean before using this? If you had something else in there and forgot to clean it out, it might have caused a problem. Did you make sure it was mixed? Also, did you make sure you had the right amount mixed in the sprayer. These are the only suggestions I have. It worked great for us.
