Product Information

Full details

The 6L Nematode Compression Sprayer from B&Q is an ideal tool for gardeners looking to maintain lawn and plant health through efficient, targeted application of nematodes, fertilisers, or water. It is best suited for residential garden enthusiasts who need a reliable, high-pressure manual pump system that covers a decent surface area in one fill. However, users should be aware that the manual compression mechanism requires physical effort during operation, which may become tiring during extensive, multi-hour application sessions.

FAQs

Can I use this for chemicals other than nematodes?

Yes, it is suitable for applying water and various garden fertilisers, though you must clean the tank thoroughly between switching products.

What is the maximum pressure this unit can handle?

The sprayer is designed to operate safely up to 45 PSI, managed by the integrated safety valve.

How often should I clean the sprayer?

You should rinse the tank and flush the nozzle with clean water after every single use to prevent clogs and extend the life of the sprayer.

Is the sprayer heavy when filled to capacity?

While the construction is lightweight, 6 litres of liquid will weigh approximately 6kg, plus the unit weight, which is generally manageable for most adults.

What should I do if the safety valve pops during use?

The valve is designed to release if the pressure exceeds 45 PSI. Stop pumping immediately to allow the pressure to stabilize.

Troubleshooting

Sprayer fails to build pressure

Check if the top lid is fully tightened and ensure the pump seals are not damaged or dry; apply a small amount of silicone grease if necessary.

Inconsistent spray pattern

Unscrew the nozzle head and rinse it under clean water to remove any debris or clogs that may have formed from the mixture.

Leaking from the nozzle

Tighten the nozzle adjustment collar and ensure the internal O-ring is seated correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Large 6-litre capacity reduces refill frequency.
  • Powerful 45 PSI output ensures uniform coverage.
  • Safety valve prevents over-pressurisation risks.
  • Eco-friendly and durable material construction.
  • Versatile use for nematodes, fertilisers, and water.

Cons

  • Requires manual pumping which can be physically demanding.
  • 6L weight may be heavy for some users when full.
  • Not suitable for large-scale agricultural commercial use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your sprayer, ensure all seals are securely tightened before adding your liquid mixture. Fill the tank using the wide inlet, being careful not to exceed the 6L maximum fill line. Once the top is screwed on tightly, pump the handle until you feel firm resistance. After each use, it is essential to flush the system with clean water to prevent residue buildup, especially after using fertilisers or nematodes, which can clog internal components. Store the sprayer in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the plastic components over time.
