Mondo1310 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 It's that time of year to spray in and outside of the casa with Cy-Kick insecticide. But having trouble finding a decent sprayer that I'll use few times a year. I bought one at my local HD and I was disappointed when I used it 1st with water. It leaked water from the wand no matter how tight or loose it was, also leaked air from the pump. The made in USA was the main reason on buying this one. I need the crews help on buying another that will last more that 2yrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WigWagWorkshop Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 What price range? How much liquid does it need to hold? manual pump, or one that you connect to a garden hose? B&G make some great sprayers, but they are pricey. I never had luck with the low end Chapin models, but I know their $80+ model is decent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Have you looked at this one it has really good reviews on Amazon and its only $20 http://www.amazon.com/Rain-Maker-708904-Rainmaker-1-Gallon/dp/B00IGFEZ8Y/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1456523069&sr=8-9&keywords=pesticide+sprayers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you are planning to spray a lot of weeds, you might want to look towards a quality contractors 2-gallon sprayer. http://www.amazon.com/Smith-190216-2-Gallon-Contractor-Sprayer/dp/B002YNSAGM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1456523548&sr=8-2&keywords=2+gallon+chemical+sprayer And if you have a huge property and you got to do tons of spraying, this is what you want to be looking at. http://www.amazon.com/Chapin-61900-4-Gallon-Commercial-Stainless/dp/B001FA09S2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1456523755&sr=8-1&keywords=backpack+chemical+sprayer&refinements=p_72%3A2661618011 Again, it really all comes down to how much spraying your going to do. But I would highly recommend going with commercial/contractors models. Consumer technology today is not what it used to be, I've learned this the hard way. Go commercial, or hate yourself for buying a POS. Ok will definitely look into those thanks protool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfwjr Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 B&G makes a great sprayer but the do cost. I have several Solo sprayers and they are ok. I did pick up a Flo-master at HD and it works pretty good. I do prefer they have a pressure relief valve. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyMcGrath Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 I've had this sprayer for 5 years. It sprays ANYTHING. thick, thin, acid, stains, chemicals. Anything you need. http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/mobile_product_info.php?products_id=706&utm_source=msn&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=%28roi%29+pla+-+shopping&utm_content=chapin I paid quite a bit more 5 years ago though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That size is a bit over kill for me. I saw they sell a 2 gallon version I'm interested it. Thanks for the suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Definitely looks like a good professional grade sprayer, last one you'll need to buy too Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeldfabNeil Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 At work we use the one listed below. All we spray from it is a degreaser. I have no idea what they cost but there pretty tough. Highly recommend them from a user standpoint. http://www.smithperformancesprayers.com/industrial-and-contractor/s103e.php Also i would recommend not to go with the ones at Home Depot under the round up brand. We had one last year an it was horrible. It was a cheap to purchase but we got what we paid for. Leaked leaked an leaked even more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm sure it's worth every penny if you use it a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruton Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 We have always good luck with Solo brand sprayers. We generally use them on the farm for smaller spot work around fence lines or small areas in the fields that are silly to start up the big sprayer for. We mainly use the backpack sprayers so I'm not sure on the smaller size you are looking for. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're reliable and easy to maintain. Plus part kits are available at a fair price if a gasket goes and you have to stop a leak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
