The guys I work with got a good laugh when I told them I was making this. When water trucks come back in off rent at work everybody finds something else to do so they wont have to work on them as they are the most abused piece of equipment we rent.

As for spray tips this kind of truck does not use spray tips on the 1:1 like the Ag sprayers I use to work on and I have worked on almost every brand of Ag sprayer you can think of. The truck are really simple they have a pipe that tee's in the center and goes out to each side and has a 90deg elbow turning up at the end. On the elbow they screw on regular pipe cap that has a slit cut halfway through the side to make a large fan pattern. All of our truck have a fan at all four corners and a side shooter in the middle. The five spay nozzles are all controlled separately from in the cab. I had thought about doing it on this truck but bending brass or copper tube to that tight of a bend proved to be a little difficult so that is why I did it this way. The main reason for the nozzles being so big on the 1:1 other than just trying to put out a lot of water in a hurry is that they fill these trucks from ponds and ditches. Having a lot of smaller nozzles would put out the same amount of water but would get plugged up from the nasty water they put in these trucks.
