chemical sprayer
« on: April 29, 2024, 09:14:56 pm »
Hi guys,
What do you feel are the best options for spraying a driveway or patio after pressure washing. Im using biocide (rather than hypo) and now looking for a more efficient way of applying it. For those that use biocide, what have you found the best way to apply it, electric pump (back pack) or just hand held sprayer (decent one). I like to saturate the surface, so not looking to just spray it around. Any help appreciated, before i go out and buy something later this week.
Thanks in advance guys...

Backpacks are infact electric sprayers for weed killing - you can get them off eBay from £65
I think these would be perfect for your needs (it will also alhave a lance and nozzles)

I just use a Bluman backpack from Ebay because it has a stronger pump and more flow than any I have bought in the past. Used to use a 22' SLX pole but as I do mainly roofs I have changed to a 22' Extreme with a spray nozzle on the end of it. I think I got the spray nozzle with different jets from Rutland Pumps and its still going after years of use.
