How to choose a garden sprayer

How to choose the right garden sprayer told us Evgenia Chalykh, Sales Consultant at Priroda Store.

If you have a medium to large garden, then you should probably buy a backpack sprayer that is easier to carry around. Hose or hand sprayers are suitable for smaller gardens.

In case your garden is on level ground, there are also wheeled sprayers that are easier to roll on the ground or grass.

The durability of a garden sprayer should also be a concern for you. Make sure the right sprayer is made of durable plastic that is resistant to shattering and UV radiation.

Type of garden sprayer

There are 3 main types of garden sprayers – hose, tank and backpack. Although all of these sprayers do the same thing, they are suitable for different types of spraying. Below, let’s talk about their pros and cons in more detail.

Hose sprayers

Hose sprayers are the simplest and cheapest garden sprayers. They are designed to attach to the end of your garden hose. Thanks to their simple design, hose sprayers offer a number of advantages:

• They do not require pumping – the force of the water flowing through the hose draws the selected amount of product out of the container.
• Pre-mixing of the pesticide with water is not required – this is done at the time of spraying.
• Hose sprayers are very inexpensive.

Tank sprayers

Tank sprayers (also called compressors, pumps, or pressurized sprayers) consist of a tank, a pump, and a tube with a nozzle. This type of sprayer uses compressed air to force the pesticide out of the tank.

Compared to other types, hose sprayers are definitely more flexible. You can move them around freely, and besides, tank sprayers usually have more spray settings.

Backpack sprayers

Finally, there are backpack sprayers, which are essentially a sub-type of tank sprayers as they are very similar in operation. However, these sprayers are somewhat different. In terms of convenience, backpack sprayers are much better than tank sprayers – with the sprayer on your back, you won’t have to pull it forward when spraying your land. On the other hand, you need to be more or less physically strong to cover large areas with such a sprayer. And the larger the backpack, the harder and more tiring the process will be.

Tank capacity

If you’ll be spraying your garden several times a month, then it might be worth choosing a larger sprayer to avoid frequent refills and save time. If your spraying schedule will be once a month or less, then you may want to save money and opt for a smaller garden sprayer. You may need to refill it several times during operation, but since spraying will be relatively infrequent, this should not greatly affect your efficiency.

Chemical rating

If you’re going to be using highly corrosive garden chemicals, be sure to get a garden sprayer that has components rated to withstand them. If you’re going to be spraying pesticides, also find out if your garden sprayer parts can handle it.

Ease of maintenance and repair

It is also important that your garden sprayer is easy to maintain and repair. A good garden sprayer won’t force you to do a complete disassembly just to replace the seal. In addition, you should check the availability of spare parts for the desired garden sprayer. It would be great if the manufacturer himself offered spare parts.
