Backpack Sprayer - A Very Handy & Helpful Homeowner Accessory




Although it's technically not a pressure washer, I just wanted to mention the new Backpack Sprayers that are quickly becoming a favorite of homeowners and DIYers. I use mine all the time!

These backpack sprayers are incredibly helpful for any homeowner who needs to spray herbicides, insecticides, chemicals, germ control liquids, etc. If you need to treat your lawn, garden, trees, shrubs, fences, decks, swimming pool, etc., this is a great choice for you.

The new backpack sprayers have considerable more capacity than the smaller hand sprayers on the market. Backpack sprayers generally have a capacity of 3-5 gallons, and I think the 4 gallon capacity is the best choice.

The tanks on the backpack sprayers are usually made of lightweight plastics, are chemical resistant and can be used with products such as Roundup. Shoulder straps are attached to the tank.

There is a hand lever that allows you to pump up pressure while you're spraying. Most good models will achieve a PSI of 15-90.

These sprayers are equipped with a sprayer wand and nozzle tips. Choose a model that offers you several nozzle tips which will provide you with a choice of spray widths and patterns!

Northern Tool has a great line of backpack sprayers and I recommend this one! Just click to get more information:

These backpack sprayers were once only used by commerical contractors and professionals, but they are now very competitively priced for the average homeowner. These backpack sprayers will save you time and money on big spraying jobs and they're super-easy to use.


Don't forget that you can always snag a great deal on backpack sprayers or pressure washers at Ebay!
