Sprayer for rinsing?
 

Does anyone here have some good and inexpensive (portable) method for spraying down your yak and gear immediately after taking it out of the water? It can be done before or after I load it on the back of my truck. This has been suggested and seems perfect and inexpensive, but I wanted to see what you creative likes actually use aside from lugging around some 2 liter bottles of water ;)

HF unit works and it is CHEAP.

I have the Spray Box in the bed of my truck, it is awesome! It has more than proved its usefulness. From washing off the kayaks, SUP's, to hosing off my crazy dog after a romp on the beach, and squirting the sand off my feet. It hold about 10 gallons and I can use it multiple trips without having to refill. Check it out, I used to go with that little tank sprayer but they are a HUGE pain in the a$$.

I also have The Spray Box and cant complain. 2 years now and still going strong! Well worth the money.

are you guys referring to THIS Spray Box?

I was hoping to spend under $20 on that HF sprayer or something else DIY. hehe, only because I'm cheap. Thanks for the suggestion tho!

Get a 5 gallon bucket (use a food grade lid to keep from leaking if tipped over), 12v pump wired for a cigarette lighter and what ever length hose you need. Built one a few years ago for camping, total spent was under $25.

That's a cool idea and along the DIY I was looking for. I will look into this.

I also considered something like this, but am certain it does NOT have enough water or spray to do the job.

Yep, that's the one. http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...70992276_o.jpg

Yup, that the one, I have the basic model, the only difference between the two model is a bit of diamond plating, not worth the extra $50. While it may not be cheap, it works great!

Iv been looking into getting one too but that spray box is way out of my price rang this looks like a another alternative https://www.google.com/shopping/prod...Q8wIwBA#online

whoa.... that seems like an excellent alternative too. OK guys, this brings the price closer to my budget.

I know this is a way better price I wonder how the flow is


Yep just looked at the specs this looks like it will work great

I have the northern tool's sprayer and it works good. You will need to change the battery connect to a cigarette lighter socket otherwise just hook it up on the car battery

Garden sprayers are a good start, but they come with a sprayer that is too light of a mist.

My solution is to cut the tube and adapt to a dish rinser nozzel with hose from Home Depot for under $10

Also, I think 2 gallons is a little short of the minimum amount of water that is functionally useful. In my exploration and testing of this same subject for myself, I found that 3 gallons is just about right. I carry a 5-gallon Sparkletts bottle as a backup refill source. 8 gallons is enough to share with your friends or serve you on trips longer than a day. It's enough to wash your gear & kayak, cool off, wash your hair and take a shower. You'll be all ready to go out for the night.

I prefer the simplicity and reliability of the hand pump garden sparayer over lightweight water pumps and other electric gadgets. With a hand pump we do not need access to the 60# garden hose pressure to fill a RinseKit.

The one I rigged up with the sink dish rinser is basically perfect for me as a gear and kayak wash system. The water flow and pressure from a few pumps of the handle is just right. I set my garden sprayer in an empty 5-gallon bucket for stability so it doesn't roll around in the back of my van, and because the 5 gallon bucket is handy to have along for multiple other purposes. I've never refilled my sprayer from my backup 5-gallon water bottle, but it's there if I need it. Dividing 8 gallons between two containers is easier to move around.

Remember, water weighs 8 pounds per gallon, so weight is a factor.

This is how I adapted the smaller garden sprayer tube to the larger kitchen sink rinse nozzle tube:

I pressed a straight inline connector into the garden sprayer tube. A little WD40 or heat from a hair dryer will allow the barbs of the hose connector to slide easily into the plastic tubing of the garden sprayer. No clamps necessary. The end of the connector with male threads screws into the bottom of the kitchen sink hose. The inside diameter of both hoses is the same.

To prevent the thinner, stiffer garden sprayer tubing from kinking I split a scrap piece of engine hose to increase and strengthen the outside diameter of the garden sprayer tube, then covered the whole thing with a piece of electrical shrink wrap. It turned out good.

You can easily unscrew the kitchen sink nozzle hose at this point for stowing. Finger tight is good enough.

This photo is before the shrink wrap so you can see the joint:

If you want to use solar energy to warm the water, you can paint both water storage tanks black and set them in the sun. Rustoleum makes spray can paint designed to stick on plastic. Personally, I don't care about this extra step.
