Does it have viton seals?
-
At £19.99 I would say no it doesnt have viton seals!!

I have a knapsack for spraying weedkiller, they are a pain in the bum to put on (almost a 2 man job)
in my opinion they are too cumbersome for using indoors...... but at £20 its worth a try
-
I could not get on with these! cheap they are reliable they are not.
Good equipment is always worth the investment. After 20 years in the business I could fill several garages with things that I thought were a good idea only to find out from experience they are not. Apart from the difficulty in putting the thing on you will also frind it an unpleasant experience when it leaks all down your back.
The handle id also a pain in the arse.

That looks good Simon.......

;D ;D

Sorry to sound ignorant Peter but if it's a pain in the arse maybe you have put the backpack on in a funny way.
;) ;)

Or maybe done things with the handle that it was not designed for
:-X :-X :-X :-X

i already have a airofog 5l that i use but when i do big commercial i'm refilling 2-3 times thought this would stop that problem i wouldn't use on small domestic
-
Not sure how long the lance and sprayer will last on this phill.
Had a few cheap sprayers in the past and always found am replacing them regular or they start to leak.
Maybe go for a large stainless steel sprayer.
-
i have a 5l stainless but i use a 5l plastic that cost £30 and not had a problem no leaks or blockages at all and it's been used over a year i'l just report on my findings once iv'e used it on a few jobs at end of day £20 not a bad price.

I use Wilco 2 litre ones at £1.34 each.
have had this current batch (3) for the last 12 months now, but 1 needs replacing now as gets clogged up when using soluboost.....

got a link for a 2 litre at that price?

I have most of my sprayers as dedicated sprayers. This means I carry a lot of sprayer various brands etc 10x 5 ltr a battery sprayer and an inline sprayer with 2 different containers, 2 x 3 ltr battery sprayers and a 15 ltr pump up sprayer, The inline sprayers are good but when we were doing massive areas my chemical usage was high and having a " t " in the solution line is a pain particuarly in bars and restaurants where there is a lot of furniture. The 15 ltr battery sprayer is an excellent tool and the chemical savings against an inline sprayer paid for the tool in a short time. Buying cheap sprayers is ok as long as you have access to plenty of spares, I live 3 miles from the hills indusry factory ( they make a lot of the sprayers that are branded to B & Q etc) at ther factory shop the spares are peanuts so have a lot of these.

I havn't mate, just went in a few years ago and in the gardening section, 2 ltr pump up sprayers. Very good they are, no viton seals (at that price does it matter?) and so cheap I too have dedicated sprayers for each prespray.
And as said earlier these have lasted me 12 months, the lot before these were 9 months...

I've been using the WCW backpack for big jobs and will save me in TM hours and petrol. Charge up every couple of days. Hardly worth it for domestics though.
