Title: In-line sprayer bargain
Post by: Simon Gerrard on August 27, 2010, 01:51:20 pm

Got one of these of ebay. Bargain price only £100 (no vat) including delivery.
I was a bit sceptical at first as I heard that adjustable sprayers like these weren't that good but it works fine and is selling at a really good price.

Probably a dozy question but.....

How do inline sprayers work?

Do you make up a stock solution, if so how do you know what the dilution rates are?

Once you've made up the bottle, what if you want to change to a different chemical, do you have to dump it or do you have more than one bottle with different solutions in it?

Is the dilution reliable?

Garyj, as the water passes it draws the stock solution from the bottle,
mine mixes at 8:1 thats 8 parts water and 1 stock.
If your stock is applied at eg 16:1 you would mix up your stock at 2:1
a bit of maths is involved.

eg Mpower at 120:1   120 divide by 8 = 15
so you would mix stock in bottle at 15:1

Best to have a few, i carry half a dozen stock bottles, trying not to leave much if they
have a short shelf life.

Ahh Thanks for that Andrew.

Any idea where I get the extra bottles and what price. Just done a Google search and not much coming up on inline sprayers!

It is a venturi valve. very simple if you know how it works, dont know if it can be called solid state. Here is a link that will explain it.
