Applies to: Battery-powered sprayers using the Pump Zero technology (Smith S103 series, DEWALT, CRAFTSMAN, Scotts, Lesco, and other lithium-ion models). Use this when the pump itself has failed and needs replacement, not when the sprayer just needs troubleshooting.
What causes this: When the pump motor fails, leaks internally, or no longer holds charge, the entire pump assembly may need to be replaced. The pump assembly is the integrated motor + pump head + battery housing on most modern FGI battery sprayers. Before ordering a replacement, confirm that the issue is the pump itself and not something simpler.
How to fix it:
- First, rule out simpler causes. See: Sprayer Pump Will Not Turn On Despite a Full Charge. Verify it is not a battery, charger, residue, or priming issue before ordering a pump.
- Find your sprayer's model number on the label on the tank or pump.
- Check whether your sprayer is still under warranty. The warranty period varies by brand (typically 1-3 years from purchase date). If covered, see: How to File a Warranty Claim. The replacement pump may be free.
- If out of warranty, call us at 1-800-311-9903 with your model number. Our team will confirm the correct replacement pump assembly and current pricing.
- Have ready: model number, approximate purchase date, brief description of the failure (will not turn on, leaks at pump base, runs but no spray, etc.), and your shipping address.
- For Smith S103 series (S103, S103E, S103EX), ask specifically about the Pump Zero replacement head. This is the most commonly replaced part on these models.
- Pump assemblies typically ship within 3-5 business days. Installation instructions are included with the part.
