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 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 to 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.”
