With over 32 years experience in the automotive detailing industry, Tom Schurmann owner of P.D.S. knows what works when it comes to applying chemicals. Frustrated with spending too much money on so called chemical proof plastic trigger sprayers and pump up sprayers Tom decided to build his own sprayer back in 1988. Finding a 5-gallon stainless steel tank with a wide oval opening Tom went to work turning this tank into a remarkable sprayer. He added an air valve to pressurize the tank, which is capable of working at 90-125psi and attached a coiled hose and spray gun. A single charge of air pressure will apply your chemicals quickly and efficiently until the tank is empty with out having to stop and pump up over and over.
This first unit has been in daily operation since with over 100
employees using and abusing it without a failure. Since that day
he has made several improvements. Soft non kink see-through hoses
made of polyurethane, a polypropylene spray gun that uses a viton
diaphragm rather than the usual rubber sealed needle and seat.
For chemical resistance, the hose connection was changed from
a quick connector that had soft rubber seals to a custom-made
stainless steel flare nut connection that needed no seals. A 50
mesh stainless strainer was added behind the spray guns adjustable
pattern nozzle to ease servicing if anything clogged the nozzle.
Listening closely to customer feedback and requests for a tire
dressing applicator Tom has now added the Dress-Pro™ to the product
line. After a few adjustments to handle solvent based dressings
and reduce the line pressure from the tank P.D.S now offers the
perfect combination to dress tires professionally, efficiently
with little to no waste. Carwashes around the country have enjoyed
the benefits of the Dress-Pro™ and added multiple units to their
sites, reducing labor, time and waste. They no longer fight overspray
or worry about slippery driveways. Combined with our 3-gallon
size stainless steel tank sprayer they can easily keep up with
even the heaviest flows on busy days.
Any feedback from customers is welcomed so constant improvements
can be made. Check out our products and give them a try. You will
