Hey Everyone

I am looking for recommendations for the best 2 Gallon Pump Sprayer. I have a bought a few of them from HD and Lowe's and they all quit after a few months.

I saw this online but I am not sure if it's any better than the junk they sell in the store.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074NHNP18/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Just for spraying fert and occasionally herbicides.

Thanks I advance for any information.

I bought this one about a year ago and haven't had any issues. Running water through it after each use to flush everything out is essential.

+1 on this sprayer. I have the LESCO re-branded Chapin sprayer that is the same model, and it is a very nice pump sprayer.

Cost about the same as what it sells for on Amazon. I got it at Site One, and with sales tax, it about evens out with shipping.

There are also a lot of options for spray tips, and spare parts are available in kits, if you do wear anything out in the future.

I like the sprayers plus cordless one much more than I had expected to. What I am completely done with is the Solo sprayers. I just tossed another one I had out. They used to be the standard for practically every landscaper and now in my opinion I would avoid them at al costs. I ave bought 4 of the over the past 5 years and all I Have failed for one reason or another.

Chapin accepts TeeJets as well. It just took me longer than the average bear to figure it out.
Thanks, @pennstater2005!

I did not know the Chapin took TeeJets.

I was hoping so but haven't had the chance yet to focus on & research that.

Great information, thanks for sharing! :thumbup:

Solo is no longer made in Germany. Parts are made in China and assembled in the US. I remember the Solo backpack sprayers from the 1980s and 1990s. Those were made in Germany. Present Solo backpacks are the subject of numerous complaints about leaks. I have a specialty Solo sprayer that is a 1.25 liter foaming hand sprayer that I used for sanitizing solutions in the house. The pressurized bottle developed a crack and leak not long after I started using it.

I have a Smith contractor sprayer from amazon... takes tee jets, and has a nice little place to store the spray wand and nozzle. Viton elastomers. No regrets in the 3 or 4 years I have owned it.

Sprayer came in today. As soon as I opened the box I could tell an immediate difference in quality compared to any pump sprayer I had bought at HD or Lowe's. I calibrated it first and sprayed about 4 gallons of products without a problem. I could go longer in between pumping for more pressure and the fan tip sprayed a wider area. So far so good!! If it continues to spray this well for an extended period of time I will be extremely happy. Thanks for the recommendations and keep the information coming for anyone else who may need it.

Just used mine tonight to spray some Bayer 6 month weed control along ditch line then triple rinsed and sprayed my Sedgehammer with it as well. It's definitely well made!

Sledgehammer is next on my list too. Looking forward to applying some with this sprayer. I am actually thinking about buying a second one just for herbicides.
