Long time lurker but thought i would throw this out there… Has anyone else recently purchased a My4Sons Backpack sprayer since they started offering their custom optjons that can be used with whichever battery you choose? I have a lot of dewalt 20Vs so i went witn that about 6 months ago and its been the definition of a nightmare and really wishing that i bought a FlowZone at this point.
Let me say, however, that the company has done everything imaginable to fix all the issues I’ve had, they’ve sent countless attachments and new hoses, new wands, new brass gun and finally sent me something entirely different, which was a 1/4th inch NPT hose assembly, which finally solved all the leaking issues I was encountering. I’m talking the dreaded blue lawn dye and harsh chemicals unloading on my face and covered in it from head to toe. Now, after all the leaks have been finally resolved, I was using it last night to perfection and out of nowhere the motor started to make a sound I hadn’t heard before and I lost all pressure. After trying some trouble shooting, I finally shut it down bc I could literally smell the motor burning. I’m just curious if anyone else has experienced this? I’m wondering if the battery was over working the pump somehow? I did a shit ton of research before I bought from my4sons and I’m all about supporting small businesses and they haven’t let me down in terms of customer service but I’m really beginning to wonder if opting for a custom battery instead of their tried and true option is the culprit here, anyone?
