Leaking Hago Nozzles
Â
When your mosquito misting system nozzles starting leaking there are a few things that can be done to fix them.Â
I was told soak the Hago Nozzles in CLR or something to remove hardwater build up and see if that will work. You can replace the nozzle tips and that will give you 2 years more life out of the existing nozzles.

Hago Nozzle Tips
Â
You will need a wrench to remove the old nozzle. Replacing only the tips might seem expensive but in the long run time save will be well worth it, versus replacing the entire nozzle.
Â
Replacing the nozzles completely to either straight or 45 degree nozzles you will need both the nozzles and the T’s. Tubing will not beend to be changed.
Remember to use approved products in your misting unit, Sector, Riptide, or EcoExempt misting systems products, these will help extend the life of all components not just the nozzles.

If you want to clean a Hago nozzle the best way is to take it apart and use a #8 Banjo string to clean the spray hole out.Simply cut off small pieces from Banjo wire to use to clear the spray hole of any clog. In the 10 years I have been servicing misting systems I have never seen a Hago stopped up due to filter clogged, it has always been a blockage of the spray hole.
The top post mentions the use of EcoExempt for misting systems and I would like to point out a issue to watch for. You need to make sure the pump and all fittings have Viton seals, failure to use Viton will have you leaking like crazy or burn pump out in just a few weeks. I was also warned do not use in a truck sprayer unless you feel like buying a new sprayer soon.
