Ryobi ONE+ 18V 3.5L Sprayer Console Questions & Answers

my pump will not pump that water up the motor works good just will not pump any thing up from the container can you help me please thanks eddy

what can I do to fix it

Most likely it's a defective on-off switch. Take it back with your receipt to Home Depot for a replacement.

Mine doesn't have a problem

I had similar issue -- Ryobi asked to place an order for the part with the service desk at Bunnings. Mine was within warranty so i just did a replacement with Bunnnings

I use mine regularly to spray tomatoes - never had a problem.
But if I did I would take it back to Bunnings - I think the warranty is about 3 years.

its a 2 year warranty but if you registered the product online - its 3 years.

I have no idea - my sprayer works perfectly.

You obviously have no real understanding of this product therefore not competent to help. The fact that your sprayer works well for you is irrelevant.

It looks like a faulty switch,I had a similar problem with a blower I contacted Ryobi and was told there was not a switch spare part available and to return the whole tool and they replaced the whole tool !! I met up with the Ryobi rep and had a coffee and I explained my situation and he said Ryobi wanted the whole tool back to check it out. I got a brand new blower for the sake of replacing a $2.00 switch. No complaints here Ryobi warranty was first rate.

That would be acceptable for me too.

I had two of them, both had a problem with the battery system. After the second one I came to the conclusion that I didn't want to use the product any more as it was faulty. I just use a hand sprayer now.

Hi Jak take it back and get your money back, these sprayers are the worst product Ryobi has put out there on the market and it's a world wide problem, I use Sylvan sprayers. I like Ryobi tools on the whole my wife and I have all the gardening ones in the 18volt and I have several in the petrol variety same as electric but petrol has way more power and is much quicker. Cheers John

Yep this sprayer is junk. The internal pump valve is very delicate.

I found the same thing too. When it worked it goes well. But when the battery fitting got hard to use I returned it for another one that had the same issue. A shame as the idea is good.

Hi Mike Like you I have heaps of their products they all perform well. I wrote a review on this product it's the worst tool Ryobi have marketed look it up. I took mine back and purchased a Sylvan brand electric sprayer it's the best I own.

I have returned 3 of them and will return #4 tomorrow. Same problem everyone else is having. Very disappointing Ryobi product!

Hi Nancy, take it back to Bunnings and get a replacement or if you read my review on these sprayers buy another brand as I found this model was a shocker it didn't perform well.

Remove the wand from the single hand working position on top of unit,you can spray with the wand and maintain the tank is level(or titled slightly forward)so as the pickup tube is still in the chemical.

There is no holes in the wand that liquid comes out of except the one the wand screws onto in the trigger handle, if this isn't done up tight it can leak, if liquid is leaking out of anywhere else take it back and get another one or get a refund. I only use Sylvan electric sprayers now they work!

Take it back and get any manual one, it's working good.I have the got same issue.

HI Sam I had all sorts of problems with these. The pump is very likely the problem even ones that work are next to useless, low pressure. I would return it and look for a better brand that works I use Sylvan sprayers now. Ryobi apparently have a new sprayer in the pipeline as the problems with this model is world wide and they need to get it sorted to protect their name. .

Hi Abby, there is no trick to remove the battery on these sprayers, place the whole sprayer on a table or similar height object to keep it steady, grip the base of the battery in your strongest hand and squeeze the tabs on either side of the battery, equally press them in as far as they will go and pull battery out at the same time while the two tabs are pressed in, if these tabs are not pressed in equally the battery wont come out. My wife has small hands but still manages the batteries in all her other tools it can be a challenge she says!

Ryobi have a 1800 helpline, they should be able to advise

Thanks Stevo, Bunnings never mentioned this.

I have the same problem. Can't seem to find a replacement cap anywhere. Unit is useless now!
It actually cracked by being exposed to the sun in my shed.
Please advise where we can buy a measuring cap from?

My experience has been is to keep the receipt in the box and when the next cap cracks go for a replacement as its covered by the two year warranty. They should be making the caps out of a more flexible material. Great product as the actual sprayer never breaks down.

Bunnings was not able to find a part number for this cap! After digging around on the net I ordered a couple of replacements from an outfit in the US. https://www.partswarehouse.com/Homelite-Tank-Cap-ABS-HM-528547001-p/hm-528547001.htm The stock item indicates Homelite but the item in the picture has Ryobi on it. The postage from Parts Warehouse was about USD$6 which is very reasonable. Hope this helps. BTW I have three Ryobi sprayers and they are great.

Hey mate, the battery won't make any difference other than run time. From what you describe your unit sounds defective. Check the instructions to make sure you're setup right and also check your seals to make sure there's no leaks. If you've done that without any joy take it back and get it swapped over.

That doesn't sound right, is the pressure coming out from somewhere else? I originally didn't tighten the lid and liquid started coming out of there. Spin the end tip in and out for focussed and broad spray, and if you've already tried that without success then there could be an issue. If the seals seem alright then it's probably just a dud and get it swapped over.

I've only used this three times so hasn't really been used enough to test durability. THat said, what you've described I haven't had with any of the other two manual pumps I've had, so maybe you've had a bad brand/batch?
