I cannot stress enough the importance of regular preventative maintenance of your Birchmeier backpack. One of the parts that we suggest replacing annually is the O-rings. Over time, the O-rings will eventually break down which can cause big problems if you are on a job and you suddenly have product leaking and/or your sprayer doesn’t work properly. 

We stock two different types of O-ring repair kits – regular and Viton. The Viton is recommended for use with weed control products. 

We suggest cleaning out your backpack annually by taking it apart, cleaning and replacing all of the O-rings, gaskets, valves and several other parts. We stock the O-ring repair kits and all other replacement parts kits on BirchmeierBackpacks.com. With easy annually preventative maintenance, you will get many years of work from your Birchmeier Backpack sprayer.

Andrew Greess: Hi, this is Andrew Greess with qspray.com. Today, I’m talking about the Birchmeier backpack. It’s a terrific backpack, but it’s critical that you take care of it.

One of the things you need to do is your annual preventative maintenance. For a heavy user, we recommend you changing the O‑rings once a year. This is the actual O‑ring repair kit. It has all the O‑rings for the backpack. We have it in two different flavors, regular and Viton. Viton is recommended for those using weed control products.

What we recommend is once a year, clean out your backpack, tear it down, take it apart, clean all the parts, and replace all the gaskets. If you do that, you will have many years of trouble‑free service and, hopefully, it’ll bring you lots of profitability and happy customers.
