What do you all use to spray your chems?

For spraying hypo, weedkiller etc?
I currently have a few 7l hozelock type pump pressure sprayer.
Fine for smaller areas but would like something with a bit more oomph and wider coverage for large areas.


What do you chaps use?
Thanks.

Dont use backpack sprayers.. Ask Blastaway, I think he had a little misshap with a backpack sprayer full of hypo  ;D

Have you thought of getting a electric sprayer? or even a window cleaning trolley/backpack? just dont wear it on your back  ;D

Sure the seal rotted. Pumping away and it's running down my back. Burnt my back slightly.

Viton seals will still go after time, they just take a lot longer than rubber ones.

Yep that's the one I've bought from solos prayers, with the upgraded brass lance it said it was fine with hypo 5% so iI figured 15% diluted would be OK. Where did it leak from?
