A flexible dip tube for a hand held sprayer has a filter element with a
projection extending into the distal end of the dib tube for frictionally
mounting the filter element thereto, the other end of the filter element
extending beyond the distal end and containing filter material in
communication with the interior of the tube, and a weight surrounding both
the distal end and the projection of the filter element or weighting down
the distal end during use.
