WILL THE PLASTIC MATERIAL LAST?
Only high-grade polyethylene is used. The material is
chosen for high molecular weight, high-impact strength,
and excellent resistance to chemicals and stress.
Ultraviolet inhibitors are used in the material to reduce
deterioration caused by sunlight.
HOW HEAVY IS THE UNIT?
Compression sprayers weigh approximately 5 1/2 lbs.
CAN I USE WEED KILLER AND INSECTICIDE IN
THE SAME SPRAYER?
In theory you can, if the sprayer is thoroughly cleaned
out with a bleach water solution of 1:25. In practice, the
use of both types of chemicals in the same unit is not
recommended as the risk to plants can be high. Use
caution when handling any type of chemicals and when
cleaning your sprayer. Do not mix cleaning agents.
WHAT SPRAY NOZZLE SHOULD I USE?
A flat spray nozzle is supplied for spraying paths, garden
beds, and general area spraying. A cone nozzle is also
supplied for spot spraying and for the treatment of bushes
and small trees. For spot spraying, simply remove swirl plate
from behind nozzle tip. Save the swirl plate for future use.
Available as an option is a reflux filter with a built-in check
valve (27 00 316) which opens at 5 psi and closes at 4 psi.
This virtually eliminates the dripping of fluid still contained
in the spray wand. A wide selection of nozzles such as
deflector, adjustable, and anti-drift nozzles are available.
CAN I DO SPOT SPRAYING?
The shut-off valve on the Solo sprayer is well suited for
spot spraying. It’s almost effortless! The shut-off valve
handle incorporates a clip which holds the valve open for
area spraying without tiring the operator’s hand. A pressure
gauge may be added with increments from 0 to 6 Bar
(0-90 psi).
