    Fixing Kwazar sprayer

    So just happened to knock over my Kwazar mercury pro the other day. Fortunately little UWW+ was wasted, but the sprayer itself came separated from the bottle.

    I was able to snap the straw back into place on the sprayer and put it all back together but it doesn't spray anymore.

    Has anyone had this happen before and have any tricks to help me fix this? I've searched here and on a few other sites and couldn't come up with much info.

    Re: Fixing Kwazar sprayer

    yeah, it's happenned to me... you probably lost the little bb that is between the spayer head and the threaded cap, keeps the presure/liquid from going back down into the straw... I just used one from a bearing I had taken appart, but one from a BB gun might fit as well.. Will try to grab pics when I get home

    Don't worry about taking any pics. I'm sure that's what the problem is! I was hoping it would be an easy fix! Thank you very much

    Bummer .. I never thought I would get upset over a broken spray bottle but I'm sure you know these aren't your average spray bottles

    Re: Fixing Kwazar sprayer

    took a picture anyways, could always help somebody else,

    you see in the middle hidden a bit by some bubbles, there's a little bb in there, as long as it doesn't fill the hole completly it should work, I took a bb from a front bicycle bearing I fixed a while back (you can just go in and buy one from a bike shop), you can try a bb gun pellet but those are a bit bigger.

    Re: Fixing Kwazar sprayer

    I wanted to get in here and thank octane for taking the picture and posting it. The same thing just happened to me, my friend was in the garage with me doing a waterless wash on his S2K and all of a sudden the sprayer broke off at the head. Little did we know that there was a bb inside of it. After an hour or so trying to get it to work (without the bb) I gave up and searched to see if anyone had the same issue. Turns out it has happened and I have found the bb laying on the garage floor and now I have fixed my Kwazar thanks to Octane and others for the post.

    Much appreciated

    -Mike

    Thank you Octane if I have known this before I would not have thrown away one sprayer.

    I was ready to throw mine out as well but I figured I would check here first. Glad I did.
