So being new to the industry I am still in the process of getting all the equipment. I am looking at pre spray bottles but what I cant seem to see is what the difference is between a carpet cleaner pre spray bottle and one of the various unbranded bottles available online (im guessing for garden chemical use).

So considering the garden ones can be brought for £15 and the carpet cleaner ones are around £60 whats the difference? Can a gardening one be used or is this a no go?

Thanks

What's the difference? Quite a lot really and I think you'll even find £60 is possibly too cheap.
Volume of solution held, heat retention, seals that can deal with the various products, spray patten, decent pressure, doesn't fall apart after 3 usages..... there's your first 6 reasons

Viton seals are the main reason imo.

osatu range or ik9's are good sprayers and not too expensive

Pretty much all I use these days

IK9 X 3 and the window cleaning warehouse electric
one.
Started using it this week, surprising how much time
it saves.

I use the 5 litre garden sprayers from B&Q and find them fine,the nozzles are adjustable.They are designed for various garden chemicals so I cant see why they cant be used for CC chemicals.
I think they are about £20
Ive bought sprayers from CC suppliers that although not top range,they were far more expensive and lasted only months.

Just bought a new one yesterday from Homebase (fence sprayer) only 15 pound.

My old one lasted me 3 years it was the B&Q one (same one)

that stainless steel one looks good for the money
no way of seeing how much chemical in the tank,could be a bit of a pain?
