I did a triple rinse and then pumped a gallon of RV antifreeze through mine.

Same as everyone else. Rinse after each use including through the nozzles and wand. Pink Antifreeze at the end of the season.

I had the same problem as Freeborn with my 25 gallon Fimco boom sprayer. I replaced that cheap little garden hose shutoff/ tiny screen filter with a small in-line filter I bought in the sprayer section at fleet farm for less than $25. I have a picture of it on habitat-talk. It completely solved the problem and the sprayer works better than it did when it was new (I have way more pressure and flow now). I put 3 full 2 1/2 gallon jugs of roundup plus a number of tanks of clethodim this summer and fall and never had to clean the screen once. I deleted the photos but you can look at it on habitat-talk

Also a must have! Install ball valves on boom: spray 12’, 8’, or fold them in and just spray the center 4’

When I was winterizing my northern tool sprayer I found my valve was also no longer working...I will have to do something similar in the spring.
