FAQs
What is the maximum fill line for this sprayer?
The maximum fill line is 3.5L. This is because a sufficient air gap is needed at the top of the 5L bottle for proper pressurisation.
Can I use this sprayer for oil-based products?
This sprayer is designed for water-based solutions. Using oil-based or solvent-based products is not recommended and may damage the sprayer.
How do I adjust the spray pattern?
To adjust the spray pattern, simply twist the nozzle at the end of the lance. You can move it from a focused jet to a wide mist.
How do I safely release pressure?
There is an integrated pressure release valve on the pump mechanism. Push this valve to safely release any built-up pressure before opening the bottle.
What type of chemicals is this sprayer suitable for?
It is ideal for water-based insecticides, fungicides, weedkillers, and fertilisers.
How long is the lance included?
The included lance is 20cm long and made of polypropylene.
What does 'Last Drop Technology' mean?
Last Drop Technology ensures that the intake tube can pick up liquid from the very bottom of the bottle, minimizing any remaining product and waste.
Troubleshooting
Sprayer not pressurising
Ensure the pump mechanism is screwed on tightly. Check that the pump rod is moving freely and the valve seals are clean and intact. Pump more vigorously.
Uneven spray or no spray
Check the nozzle for blockages. Clean the nozzle tip and the lance filter. Ensure the intake tube at the bottom of the bottle is submerged in liquid.
Leaking from the pump mechanism
Verify that the pump mechanism is securely tightened onto the bottle. Inspect the O-ring seals for damage and ensure they are properly seated.
Pressure drops quickly
The seals may be worn or damaged. Ensure all connections are tight. If the issue persists, the pump mechanism may need replacement.
