I have just finished putting together a long reach sprayer, so I can get tfr into those high and hard to get to areas.
I chopped up a standard sprayer and fitted a long hose. I attached the spray end to the end of an old pole, and the loose end runs to the trigger. The other end of the trigger runs to the bottle via an easysnap connector so I can isolate the bottle.
Hopefully It will do the job tomorrow. The pole will have about 12ft reach.
What would be really handy is a quick on/quick off clip that attaches the spray end to any wfp pole.
Looks like I will be back in the shed at the weekend.

A 1ltr sprayer with six inches of hose on the spray pipe with a female connector on it, so you can plug straight into your wfp.

hi mate, How is the pressure through that length of sprayer hose? do you get any drop? i need something smilar to what you've got but alot longer (about 7m) and im just worried that at that length the pressure at the spray nozzle will be non existant.

I used it for the first time today, I have about 5m of braided pole hose. It was fine at that.
I need to find a way to clip the handle on to the bottom of the pole, and the nozzle to the top. I used tape today but Some sort of clip on/off is ideal. Better still something that fits a clx pole.

I cable tied the trigger to the bottom section
-
what I need is something a bit like this but better. I can clip this onto my slx and get to 25ft. When i am finished I can clip it off and curl it up in the back of the van.
What I want to avoid is carrying an extra pole, so cable ties and/or tape are no good. With a clip on it will all curl up small. The spray end is ok but the trigger end needs something different.
