Why
to choose a
Tank
Sprayer rather than
Ready-to-Use
Chemicals
Probably
the most important reason is the impact on your
wallet. Based on common usage rates,
a person who always uses Ready-to-Use Chemicals
will spend 38 times more money than the person
that sprays using concentrates and a tank sprayer.
More
savings can be realized by investing a quality
tank sprayer and following the manufacturer's
care instructions. Simply put, cleaning after
each use is the best way to prolong the life of
your sprayer.
Quality
features to look for in a tank sprayer:
- Tough Polyethylene tank.
- A reinforced hose that screws onto the tank
for easy cleaning.
- A two piece adjustable nozzle is best for
easy cleaning.
- Look for a nozzle that attaches to the shut
off AND the end of the wand. This gives you
more versatile options for spraying in tight
spots.
One
last tip: A tank size of 1, 2 or 3 gallon
makes mixing easier. Most mixing instructions
call for so much concentrate "per gallon." Using
a 1.5 or 2.5 gallon tank may force you to search
for your calculator!
