Hi Jill @critterologist

You're very welcome! I think you'll love the convenience of pump-as-you-go and how easy it is to regulate the pressure.

I've been eyeing getting this nozzle [link below]. I think it could be very useful. You might consider trying it.

BTW, it says not to use wettable powders with the piston pump. I have a few times used it with Gallery wettable powder when I was mixing it with liquid Surflan (pre-emerge herbicides). One problem with WPs and piston pumps, besides the friction, is keeping a WP agitated to stay in suspension. The Surflan is a viscous liquid and helped keep it suspended. I've only done that a handful of times.

Anytime you have a quick question about using it, send a Treemail if you want. I usually check in a couple times a week.
