Hello, I’m Shane Blomendahl – Founder of Sprayer Guru.
I’ve spent the last 10+ years working hands-on in the ag equipment industry, specializing in sprayers and precision application systems. For more than a decade—and currently—I’ve been with Dultmeier Sales, where I provide product support, diagnostics, and technical guidance for sprayers, pumps, nozzles, and application systems used across agriculture and industry.
I also work on my family farm, and I like to experiment with different spray equipment in my yard. The familiarity with so many different sprayer components I get from my day job, combined with the opportunity and access I have to use and test these different items, provides me with a unique perspective and insight.
I have designed setups for lawn, turf, ag, construction, de-icing, and tree spraying. I have tested different types of sprayer guns, pumps, and nozzles from manufacturers like Teejet, Banjo, Solo, Fimco, Shurflo, Hypro, and Agspray. I use all this experience to provide detailed and helpful guides, diagrams, and tips to my readers.
Why I Started Sprayer Guru
Sprayer Guru started as a sort of cheat sheet for myself. Working for years, providing after-sales support to customers, I found myself explaining several of the same concepts to customers. So I began to write things down and create diagrams.
This made it easier to explain and helped me remember information. After having dozens of pages, it was only natural to create a website that could house these resources and make them more accessible.
Topics I Cover Here
- Sprayer calibration and setup
- Nozzle selection and performance
- Troubleshooting pressure and flow issues
- Plumbing sprayers and sprayer equipment
- Lawn and garden sprayer hacks and methods
Feedback
“Wow, you really blow me away with how thorough and data packed your responses are, complete with videos, equipment, spray distances, psi/gpm relationships, etc. I cant thank you enough. You should be a professor in a college or tech school with your ability to convey information in a very useable understandable and ‘on point’ way.”
