Thank you so much this was so helpful I had bought this to feed my garden Now I have ti figure out how much Square footage my beds are.. I recently lost my husband and he was my go too for these things Thanks 🙏🏻 so much! I didn’t even notice the teaspoon 😂 You are blessing to me right now! Have a Great Day!
these are great sprayers... I have been using the set sprayers 20 gallons and 6 gallons for years.and they work fine.. thing to remember is don't get products that require 4oz or more to a gallon
Great review. I have one on order from Amazon. I have another Chapin sprayer that I use for GroPower fertilizer, and my new one will be for any organic pest sprays.
I have one like this and I sprayed the whole yard but the weed killer fluid in the bottle didn't move. It said to set it on 10 and run it with clear water till it was dry and it seemed to only run about halfway down then quit. Is there any fancy way to clean this thing? Is there any way it could get rusty under the dial to not run right?
Absolutely, just be sure to empty/rinse out the bottle and then run fresh water through it before putting it away. Bleach isn’t super corrosive but can/will do some damage with prolonged contact.
YOU DID NOT MENTION YOU CAN USE THE SPRAYER TO PUT INSECTICIDE AND FUNGICIDE ON SHRUBS, FRUIT TREES, VEGETABLES, ETC. PLEASE CAREFULLY FOLLOW DIRECTIONS FOR APPLICATION.
You were saying, "Set it to two" but the instructions, which are quite unclear because there is no reference to a setting marker, seems to indicate that the number should be set to that little brass ball to the right of the dial. If this is true, you actually set the sprayer to '4'. I'm not saying that I'm right and you're wrong, I'm saying poor instruction manual. What do you think?
Ahhh, I just watched the actual Chapin video Tex and I saw in a closeup, the little arrows above and below the little brass ball to the right of the dial. I didn't notice the arrows on my own device because they're kind of 'undercover. So yes, in your vid you think that you are setting the dial to 2 but you have actually set the dial to 4. Take a close look and see if you agree.
@@safetysmith Yes! Great catch! I was lining up the "2" in line with the hose, but to set that number, you must line it up above that brass ball on the side of the unit. You are absolutely correct!
Nos, yes the marker is that little brass ball. The 2/4 thing is that the dial is set up for either tablespoons or teaspoons not ounces . If you want to set the dial to 2 ounces per gal of water, you need to set the dial to 4 because 4 tablespoons equal 2 ounces.

I think I need to get one of these. Thanks for the link. 👍
Thanks. I just got one and heading outside to spray neem oil.
Nice! Hope it works well for you!
Why does my bottle fill when I use it? It should be emptying!
@@joelandrum9803 it forces water through the bottle and then pushes out water 💦 with the chemical inside. It should be doing that.
Great Video!
Could you please tell me what the red noob on the spray nozzle is and how to use it?
Thanks 👍
That knob will hold the handle on for you if desired. Tighten it to hold the “on” handle in place.

Thank You ☺️
How can I adjust this to spray the full bottle of liquid in 20 gallons?
I had issue with mine if you take it apart there is a tiny steel ball you will lose !
Good to know!

I'm having the same problem. Did you figure yours out?
@@wiggins164 I got a new one , but I think basically just Feel the container with water and let it run out when you're using it. It cleans it out.
And what about powders?
This system would require you to premix that. It will not add water into the tank. It only draws fluid up and out of the tank.
Yes I know. I was asking how you calculate the dilution.
Can bleach be used in sprayer?
I can't see why not. But there are likely other sprayers designed for this purpose specifically.
Absolutely, just be sure to empty/rinse out the bottle and then run fresh water through it before putting it away. Bleach isn’t super corrosive but can/will do some damage with prolonged contact.

@@ApacheRanch great, now I am totally confused. I wanted to learn how to use this for fungicide applied to a tree.
