Product Information

Full details

This B&Q Knapsack Pressure Sprayer is designed for homeowners and gardeners needing an efficient way to apply liquids like water, weedkiller, or garden chemicals over larger areas. Its key benefit is the high-performance pump and included spray wand, allowing for extended reach and faster application. A potential caveat is the need for manual pumping to maintain pressure. The sprayer features a comfortable, shaped unit with back straps, a large filler opening with an integrated filter, a locking trigger for continuous spray, and comes with three versatile nozzles (standard, double, and flat) for different spray patterns.

FAQs

What types of liquids can I use with this sprayer?

You can safely use water, most standard weedkillers, and general garden chemicals. Always check the compatibility of the chemical with plastic components and avoid solvents or petroleum-based products.

How do I clean the sprayer after use?

After emptying, rinse the tank, pump, and wand thoroughly with clean water. For tougher residues, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a clean water rinse. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.

How often do I need to pump it?

You need to manually pump the handle to build and maintain pressure. The frequency of pumping depends on how vigorously you are spraying and how quickly the pressure is dissipating. The locking trigger helps maintain continuous spray with less frequent pumping.

What is the capacity of the tank?

While not explicitly stated, the description implies a 'double capacity' pump, suggesting a substantial volume suitable for larger tasks. Refer to product packaging or retailer for exact liter capacity.

Can I use this for applying fertilizer?

It depends on the type of fertilizer. Liquid fertilizers that are water-based and do not contain abrasive particles are generally suitable. Avoid granular or powder fertilizers that are not fully dissolved.

How do I change the spray pattern?

The sprayer comes with three different nozzles: standard, double, and flat. You can unscrew the current nozzle from the spray wand and screw on the desired alternative.

Troubleshooting

Sprayer does not build pressure.

Ensure the tank lid is securely fastened. Check that the pump rod is properly seated and sealed. Verify all connections are tight. Manually pump to check for air leaks around the pump handle.

Uneven or weak spray.

Check the nozzle for blockages and clean if necessary. Ensure sufficient pressure has been built up by pumping. Verify the liquid level in the tank is adequate.

Trigger is difficult to squeeze or won't lock.

Inspect the trigger mechanism for debris or damage. Ensure the pump is not over-pressurized. Lubricate the trigger mechanism if it feels stiff, using a silicone-based lubricant suitable for outdoor equipment.

Leaking from the pump or tank.

Check all seals and connections for damage or wear. Tighten any loose fittings. If a seal is damaged, it may need replacement.

Care:

  • Rinse the tank, pump mechanism, and spray wand thoroughly with clean water.
  • For stubborn residues, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by a clean water rinse.
