My 3 point sprayer pump quit working this weekend. I went to TSC this morning and bought a new one. They had the same pump in 3 different variations, anywhere from 90 bucks up to $230. Well, I don't do any real heavy duty spraying so my Irish blood kicked in and I got the one for $90. When I got back to my office I started reading the information about the new pump and wouldn't you know it. They say I need the top of the line pump when using roundup. Apparently Glysophate is very corrosive will wear out the el cheapo pretty quickly. I do spray glysophate quite a bit so I guess I should take this one back and spring for the expensive one. You know, the old penny wise and lb. foolish thing. Anyone have any comments or experience with this situation?
