What I did not like about this sprayer.
Considering the high price of this unit, I expected the manufacturers to use high quality materials. The thin plastic material used for the cover of the motor gets damaged after heavy use. Apart from that, I hope the manufacturer also fixes the intake tube as it is a tight fit, and removing it is a pain. Intake tube is a tight fit.
The siphon balls can get stuck. This is a headache as this inlet valve portion of the fluid segment of the sprayer performs as a check valve when pulling paint. If these balls get stuck, there is no check on the liquid coming out of the sprayer, messing the project. Titan should look into immediately this specific aspect.
