Do you all run filters from your tank to pump?
Got dry atrazine and plugs the my filter between tank and pump pretty quick. Pump is an ace centrifugal

I have never seen a filter between the tank and the pump. of course I have only had 3 different sprayers, my first sprayer was a pull type flex-coil then my next was a Top Air 1100
(which I have for sale if any body is interested
) and now I have a Rogator 1264. None of them placed a filter between tank and pump. They all three filtered the product after the pump to the rest of the system and then another filter before the booms
(one for each boom
) then of course the little screen at each nozzle. I change the filter after the pump to a larger screen when doing atrazine. Fingers77

I have a filter on the suction side of the pump with a fairly large screen in it. I had more issues with the after pump filters with atrazine.

Am I correct interpreting your last sentence that you are loading chemicals through the top of your sprayer and not some sort of induction cone?
If so I would say that's your issue. Granular ATZ is not going dissolve well by just dumping it in.
I could be totally wrong here and misread your post. frytownfarmer

You are correct. Inductor is on the list. I'm using a 70s john Deere 550 pull type. As much as I cuss the stupid thing it saves even a small small farmer like me a lot of money. Need to make it auto. The manual controls suck. How hard are inductors to install? AGB

Pre mix your atrazine in a 5 gal. bucket. Mix it well. Don't ever leave your tank loaded overnight. Rinse your sprayer very well when done. If you ever spray powdered manganese, do the same thing. Older sprayers just don't have enough agitation. PatCMO

I have an older sprayer also
(300 gal 3pt
). I have no strainer on the suction side of the pump. It had one when I bought it and when replacing hoses and such before using it someone at FDS suggested getting rid of the suction strainer and just running strainers in each boom section. I load AMS and dry atrazine through the top of the sprayer all the time with no problems. I try to make sure the tank is at least half full and have full agitation going before adding the atrazine. I try to never leave atrazine in the tank and lines overnight and usually flush the booms with water when done for the day. I have gotten caught with a partial tank a couple times and a full tank the other day
(breakdown
). i have never had any trouble as long as I have agitated the mix good for a while. Patrick tmrand

Consensus on here is that "if" your water needs AMS............then the AMS needs to be in your water for at least an hour before adding chemicals. Don't shoot the messenger. Since learning that I add it to my supply tank.
For optimal spraying result you need to combine your airless spray tip with the right guard and filters. Discover what is needed for your application.
Choosing the right filters and guard is as important as choosing the right spray tip. Follow our advice and you’re good to go!
Pick the right pump and gun filter for trouble-free spraying
We advise using filters even when the material you want to spray has been strained. Using gun and pump filters prevents any contiminations from dust, paint skin or manufacturing particles to block your sprayer, restrict the flow rate or reduce the quality of your finishing.
But what filters should you use? The thinner the material, the finer the filter mesh needs to be. Look into the table below to check what mesh sizes your tip needs. Always choose the same mesh size for the pump and gun filter.
