Sprayer for rinsing?

[HobieScot]

I was just watching Inside Combat Rescue and the military used something that looked like the simple pesticide sprayers that you find at Home Depot that you pump for pressure and holds about 3-4 gallons. I was surprised to see how much pressure that sprayer had. They were using it to rinse the blood out of the helicopter after a mission.

With that type of pressure it would be a cheap and ideal solution.

I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find out what they are using.

I'm curious to know what they were using.

I'll ask at the local military surplus store in El Cajon.

The one that they were using looked more like the $23 model

Just all black with no writing on it.

I have the rinse kit, it's pretty cool. It works for quick wash downs.

I've always just used the sprayer that you can get at home Depot for pesticides or whatever. They have a couple different sizes depending on how much water you want to bring. Fill it with water and add 1/2 to 1 cup of white vinegar to help dissolve the salt and rinse away.

Get a rinse kit. Carlsbad company. Use mine allll the time. Enough pressure for a minute or so of rinsing

Is this a common practice for cleaning kayaks and fishing gear?

I use vinegar to dissolve rust off of metal overnight. If I forget about it for a few days, it makes a mess out of tools and other things I leave in the vinegar bucket. It's slow acting, but it definitely keeps eating.

I'm wondering if this might be bad for Mirage drive parts, electrical connections, plated surfaces, fish hooks, lures, poles & reel parts?

I would be nervous to get vinegar into areas of moving parts and not getting it all washed back off with fresh water.

If we have to rinse a second time to get the vinegar off, it kind of defeats the purpose.

Maybe your recipe for dilution makes it safe?

I would like a short-cut formula for neutralizing salt, but would like some more confirmation that the acidity of prolonged vinegar contact is not dangerous.
