Hi, can anyone recommend a decent sprayer to buy? I've been using some cheap ones but they not lasting 2 minutes and time to buy something that's going to last. Thanks

Iused to always use the cheaper band q type sprayers, me being a tight Yorkshireman, but oi got sick of em and bought a decent one off restormate , think its called an ik
9. Totally different ball game, much much better spray and they actually last!!!!!

Get a rechargeable battery sprayer....pre spray in pre spray straight out and the battery easily lasts a week w/o recharging.

This is also known as the IPS - it is a game-changer in battery sprayers - brilliant bit of kit

Problem with battery sprayers using a 6v/12v pump is the pump can't handle hot water or powders very well at all. It soon stops pumping properly.
You are indeed much better with a sprayer that uses the battery to pressurise the tank itself like you do when you 'pump it up' - that way there is no pump to go wrong.

I have the same one as Dr Buckland...................it puts down a hot spray if you need it - yes you have to be careful with any sprayer that you have mixed the contents thoroughly. It has a variable spray so you can spray a little down or a lot. If you need you can rinse it out using plain water.
Its much better than a pump up and also loads quicker - you should try one Jason ;)

£200+....I paid about £89 for mine...it can be carried, wheeled or as a backpack...it's lasted me 18 months with never a problem and a full charge easily lasts a week...no problems with hot liquids or powdered pre spray...I upgraded the Lance to a Restoration brass job that I had on my now rarely used IK9.....it's also variable speed and has a high pressure setting.

Tony - i've got plenty ;D
Battery pressurised one, battery pumped one with 10m extended hose for commercials which was in use with me in a nursery tonight, stainless ones, foamers, the Stinger etc etc
Lots to play with ;)
To be honest a good quality pump up is all you need and will last for years - not a problem pumping it up if you aren't shy of a little exercise :P

I got a battery one off ebay. It was under £80 around a year ago. It's had loads of hot prespray through it, powdered and liquid it has a filter at the opening to catch any lumps etc. It's needed charging around 4-5 times in that time which is really good though I only do 3 -4 days a week
