I have a pumpkin-potion that has some material in it that doesn't seem to have completely broken down into particles small enough to pass through my sprayer head.

Does anyone know of a hand or backpack type sprayer that has extra large holes and/or can be disassembled? The sprayers I have seen have very small discharge holes and the nozzle cannot be disassembled without breaking a solder joint. Any suggestions please??

Dusty--some sparyers do have screen filter in them--but i suggest that you prestrain it with pantyhose or there are funnel strainers with a screen in the bottom i< use one when i mix molasses or anything that goes into a sprayer espically to keep partcals out and it mixes great too----craig

I purchased my 2 gallon sprayer from Lowes. Cant remember the name starts with a O but is not Ortho......but its tank is Green, two gallon professional canister sprayer. It has a brass Wiz Wand, and a filter in the sprayer handle. Metal pump plunger....Lifetime warranty $30... I have used this extensively over two years spraying nightly..., liked it so much I bought one for LongBeard and TheBiz, I think they love em too. Best part is the adjustable brass nozzle at the end.....Prompt replacement when you dog decides to knock over the sprayer and jump on it......Good Luck

I use to fool with pump sprayers but got sick and tired of them. I keep one or two sprayers handy for up close sprayers but I broke down and bought a 12 volt 15 gallon sprayer and love it. You can soak the entire area and cover every leave and underside with no problem a great investment.

How much does it weigh? Cuz my dog just hates the pumping sound and he attacks my sprayer.....I think LongBeard puts him up to it since the dog chases his monkeys away......l0l

The 15 gallon sprayers are nice Wiz and you can save your forearm muscles for something else. You can either attach it to a 4 wheeler or just put in a little red rider wagon. Youll just have to keep the battery charged from time to time. I hate spraying with the pump sprayers and have to get motivated. By motivated I mean consuming beers and sometimes I get a little to motivated and forget to spray.
