How many times do you pump the sprayer to achieve a pressure of 40-60 pounds per square inch?

To achieve a pressure of 40-60 pounds per square inch with the sprayer, the recommended number of pumps ranges typically between thirty to thirty-five. This range is based on the mechanics of the sprayer, where each pump serves to compress the air within the tank, increasing the pressure.

When targeting this specific pressure range, it is crucial to find a balance that ensures adequate pressure for effective spraying without causing damage to the sprayer or compromising safety through over-pressurization. Pumping within this range allows for optimal performance while maintaining the necessary pressure for adequate dispersal of the solution being applied.

This number reflects industry best practices observed during training and ensures that the equipment operates efficiently within its designed specifications. Understanding how to achieve the correct pressure is essential for field sanitation teams, as improper pressure can lead to ineffective application of sanitizing solutions, thereby impacting hygiene and safety operations.
