Pump Barrels

About Pump Barrels

Pump barrels are essential replacement components for pressure sprayers, designed to restore the pumping mechanism when the original barrel becomes worn or damaged. These precision-engineered parts ensure your pressure sprayer maintains optimal performance for applying pesticides, herbicides, fertilisers, and cleaning solutions. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks genuine Hozelock pump barrels compatible with their Standard, Plus, and Pro pressure sprayer ranges, ensuring reliable long-term operation of your equipment.

Rather than replacing an entire pressure sprayer when the pump mechanism fails, investing in a replacement pump barrel offers a cost-effective and environmentally responsible solution. Pump barrels are the heart of any pressure sprayer, creating the necessary air pressure to deliver consistent spray patterns. Whether you're maintaining professional-grade equipment or extending the life of a garden sprayer, having access to quality replacement barrels keeps your tools operational when you need them most.

Applications

Pump barrels are valuable for a diverse range of professionals and enthusiasts, including:

• Gardeners and landscapers – applying weedkillers, fertilisers, and plant treatments
• Agricultural workers – crop spraying and pest control applications
• Groundskeepers – maintaining sports fields, parks, and public spaces
• Pest control professionals – targeted application of treatment solutions
• Cleaning contractors – applying cleaning chemicals and biocides
• DIY enthusiasts – garden maintenance and outdoor cleaning projects
• Horticultural businesses – greenhouse and nursery plant care

Choosing The Right Pump Barrels

When selecting a replacement pump barrel, compatibility is paramount. Always verify your existing sprayer model before purchasing – Hozelock manufactures different barrels for their Standard/Plus ranges versus their Pro models. Check your sprayer's label or documentation to confirm the exact model designation.

Consider the condition of other sprayer components when replacing the pump barrel. If seals, gaskets, or the spray lance show significant wear, it may be worth addressing multiple components simultaneously to maximise the lifespan of your repaired unit. MyToolShed.co.uk recommends inspecting the entire sprayer assembly before installation to ensure optimal performance after replacement.

Quality matters when selecting replacement parts. Genuine manufacturer components like those from Hozelock guarantee proper fit, durability, and maintained spray pressure. While aftermarket alternatives may exist, original equipment parts ensure compatibility and reliability for professional applications where consistent performance is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when my pump barrel needs replacing?

Common signs include difficulty building pressure, pressure dropping rapidly after pumping, visible cracks or damage to the barrel assembly, or air leaking during pumping. If your sprayer no longer maintains consistent pressure despite checking seals and connections, the pump barrel likely requires replacement.

Are pump barrels compatible across different Hozelock sprayer models?

No, Hozelock produces specific pump barrels for different sprayer ranges. The Standard and Plus models share the same pump barrel design, while Pro models require a different specification. Always verify your sprayer model before ordering from MyToolShed to ensure correct fitment.

Can I repair a damaged pump barrel instead of replacing it?

Pump barrels are precision components that generally cannot be effectively repaired once damaged. Attempting repairs may compromise pressure integrity and spray performance. Replacement is the recommended solution for reliable, long-term operation of your pressure sprayer.
