A: We recommend using straight paper mulch, also known as cellulose fiber, with all of our machines. Unlike wood fiber, straight paper mulch does not clog the hose. Wood fiber tends to swell up inside the hose, making it very hard to spray through, and once you've experienced clogging with wood fiber, you'll never want to use it again. For optimal performance, especially on inclines, we advise using paper mulch in combination with a tackifier. This ensures smoother operation and prevents any potential clogging issues, allowing for a more efficient and satisfying experience.

A: Our machines are capable of handling up to 150ft of hose. However, using such a long hose requires some practical considerations. Given the hose length, it is advisable to have a helper. One person should manage dragging the hose while the other focuses on spraying the machine. This teamwork ensures efficient and uninterrupted operation, preventing kinks or unnecessary downtimes that can occur with lengthy hoses. We strive to offer equipment that meets your needs effectively, and we recommend this approach to maximize productivity and ease of use.

A: To prepare your hydroseeder to draw water from a pond, follow these steps carefully: 1. Seal the Machine: Ensure that the machine is sealed, as stated in the directions provided with your hydroseeder. This step is crucial for proper operation. 2. Remove Air from Hoses and Parts: Confirm that all the air has been purged from the hoses and other parts. This ensures that there are no air pockets that could disrupt the water drawing process. 3. Shut Off the Bottom Valve: Turn off the bottom valve of the hydroseeder. This helps to control the flow of water and maintain the machine’s pressure. 4. Open the Top Valve: Make sure the top valve is open. This is essential because water needs to fill the machine from the top to avoid airlocks and ensure efficient operation. 5. Begin Drawing Water: Once the top valve is open, position the intake hose in the pond. The hydroseeder will then begin drawing water from the pond. By following these steps, your hydroseeder will be ready to efficiently draw water from any water source, including a pond. This process is designed to maintain the integrity and performance of your equipment, ensuring optimal operation.
