Them For Longevity
• The water spray gun is a multi-functional tool that is used in practically every activity 
that entails the application of water, be it in the garden, washing the car, etc. Similar to 
any implement, they need care and attention to work effectively and provide services for many 
years.
• Maintenance is very crucial - not only does it help in increasing the lifespan of the 
spray gun but also helps it to work at its best. If you are also looking to maintain your 
spray gun or have maintenance doubts before purchasing one, below are the 
guidelines on how to ensure that your water spray gun lasts long.
• Annual Cleaning
• A very important and determinative stage of the water spray gun is its annual cleaning. Dirt, 
debris, and mineral deposits can build up over some time and this alters the spray pattern since 
the nozzle is clogged. First, dismantle the nozzle from the spray gun and wash it under clean 
water to help in the removal of dirt which is loosely held. For mineral deposits, soak the nozzle 
in a solution of vinegar and water (1: 1 basis) for approximately 30 minutes. After that, rinse it 
off and use a small brush or a toothbrush to remove any deposits that may still be within the 
holes. Last but not least, treat the nozzle to water and then expand it back to the spray gun.

• Lubrication
• Your water spray gun’s moving parts should be lubricated so that the tool can work properly. 
This minimizes contact or friction and eliminates cases of wear and tear. Remove all the 
components of the spray gun as per the manufacturer’s guidelines and coat the entire function 
area with silicone-based grease, particularly in the trigger control and any joint. When done 
with the lubrication, clean the spray gun and put it back together, locking all the parts in place.
• Fix All Leaks
• Leaks compromise the performance of garden spray gun and the water used. To prevent 
leakage, you must inspect your spray gun frequently i.e., check the hose connections of the 
gun to ensure they are not loose. Check the nozzle to determine if there are any cracks or 
damage that will lead to dripping and when squeezing the trigger. Ensure that water does not 
leak from the main handle of the spray gun. Any cracks or leakage should be fixed right away 
to avoid reinstitution of the problem.
• Proper Storage
• Storage is also critical when it comes to the durability of your hose pipe spray gun, more so 
when the winter season is around the corner. At the end of use, it is advisable to empty the 
remaining water in the spray gun so that it does not freeze and crack. It is best to keep the 
spray gun in a dry area that is out of direct sunlight. If possible, suspend the spray gun to 
minimize stress on any of the components of the tool.

• Don’t Use Strong Chemicals
• Refilling your water spray gun for plants with excessively strong chemicals can harm the 
working parts of the tool. It is also important that you should read the labels of any cleaning or 
gardening solutions that you can use for your spray gun. If you decide to use chemicals make 
sure that you clean the spray gun with water after you use it.
• Additional Replacements
• The wheels used in water spray gun manufacturing may wear out with time and therefore require 
replacement. Typical parts can range from O-rings that help in closing any joints that leak to 
nozzles that may end up being worn out, or stiff triggers that can be replaced to have smooth and 
easier pulls. If cleaning does not help with the spray pattern or if the trigger becomes an issue, 
then these might need replacement.
• Read Manufacturer’s Guide
• When you look at maintaining your water spray gun, it is advised that for specific details relating 
to the maintenance of your water spray gun, Zephyr’s guidelines should be adhered to. If you 
follow the above guidelines, your spray gun’s lifespan will be lengthened and it will work to the
