Have any of you tec guys/girls converted a napsack sprayer to a wfp system.

I am convinced it could be done inexpensively.

Cheers guys.

Its for a rainy day project.

Jeff and Rob,,all that pumping up `to and fro`,I tried it a few times ( I think a few
Will have) its too much like `hard yakka`,especially with all the water on ya back
As well.If ya watch gardeners,when they use em` they don`t need as much fluid
When they are dispensing weed killer or whatever.We need more water by volume
Obviously.

I was thinking of placing an elec pump on one etc.

I could use on trolley mount or use as back pack.

The only thing which could pose a prob is the screw fittings.

It is just one of my hair brain ideas!

Good idea,
brass tacks time, its an open  bucket on your back/trolley with a pump, what stops the water slopping all over you is a big screw cap/lid.

webbing straps around the sprayer with a board attached to the webbing, then the pump etc attached to the board

I saw some photos of a system that someone had made from the hoselok sprayers recently. They were using easily bought items from high street shops. If you pm me I will pass on the link - I don't think it would be very courteous to post it here.
