How often should a compressed-air sprayer be cleaned if used frequently?

The best practice for cleaning a compressed-air sprayer is to do so at least once a week, especially if it is used frequently. Regular cleaning is essential for maintaining the effectiveness of the sprayer and ensuring that no chemical residues build up within the system. Residual chemicals can lead to clogs, reduce the sprayer's efficiency, and potentially contaminate future applications.

Frequent use of the sprayer means that it is exposed to various chemicals and materials that can degrade the components if not properly maintained. By cleaning it weekly, you not only extend the life of the equipment but also enhance safety by minimizing the risk of chemical reactions or cross-contamination. This maintenance schedule is a proactive approach that helps to ensure optimal performance and compliance with safety protocols in pesticide application.
