Good luck!

Yes , that is correct , diaphgram pump for wetable powders. That's what I have always heard

Glad to hear. I prefer granular products, but can’t beat the economics of spraying Prodiamine.

@@handydadtv Another question...does it matter if application is just before, after (or during) rain?

Whether liquid or granular, it needs to be watered in to be effective, just not a deluge that washes it away.

Glad it helped

👍🏻💯

Great tip!

I also plan to spray Propiconazole fungicide, post-emergent herbicide, and bio-stimulants with the sprayer. It’ll definitely pay for itself.

I always use the blue tip for full coverage. I use the metal tip for spot spraying, and I never use the gray tip.

Did you try it with the screen?

No, I just took the round screen off the black elbow thing . Then put the elbow back in so all the product gets used in the bottom of tank.

This was a while ago and the design might have changed, but mine were dry and needed to be greased.

Although I prefer granular, spraying is so much cheaper so that’s what I do.

OMG spraying is definitely out of my comfort zone! And last year’s debacle with marking blue all over me was certainly a setback. That’s why I trashed the Chapin. But I bought a 10-year jug of Prodiamine, so I’m committed to mastering this!

@@handydadtv lol, Good reason to continue. I checked and unfortunately the 5-lb jug of Prodiamine isn't allowed to be shipped to NY, so I can't use it anyway. So many lawncare products I used to buy online are now banned here. NY is the leading state in banning everything! The plan is to ban all fertilizers within the next few years in NY, the Long Island region to start. So we won't be able to use anything anymore. Only companies with a license will be able to purchase and apply them, which sucks for homeowners, but will be great for companies like TrueGreen since their will legitimately be no DIY option soon.

No DIY? That’s un-American!

@@handydadtv Yea, that's NY

Any leaks?

Not yet

You might be good. I’m sure they don’t ALL leak.

The label says 0.5 gal of water per 1,000 sf. So my mix was, technically, a little rich. No ill effects as of yet.

HandyDadTV that’s a good tip thank you!

Honestly I don’t use the strainer. I took it out. Love the sprayer though.

I make my own electric back packs , I can change the battery in less than 1 minute and keep right on spraying

I’m not sure

@@handydadtv Well , okay then , thanks :)

Allyn Hane says a split application is like two coats of paint on the wall. Better coverage.

@@handydadtv Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!

Rechargeable batteries don’t last forever. Maybe 10 years. But they can be replaced.

@@handydadtv 10 years?? , 2 to 5 years , depends on usage

I only used it one season so far. Used it several times on one charge.

I do two apps of 2 oz. I just spread them out by a month.

You’d be better off asking this in the Lawn Care Nut group on Facebook.

@@handydadtv thanks will do

I have 7k in the front and 7k in the back.

@@handydadtv Ahhhh gotcha thank you!

I agree. Even with a triple rinse, they never come clean. It’s a good idea to have three sprayers: one dedicated for “inside” treatments (such as bug sprays) and the other two for outside (a dedicated one for anything that kills the lawn, like glyphosate, and the other for sprays that don’t kill the lawn (weed killer, mosquito control, fleas/ticks, etc.)

I need to see where I’m going!

Why not just switch hands walking forward so you are always walking on dry grass??? One more plus for the electric.

You’re the first person who has complained about this product. Sorry yours failed, but that is not the norm.

HandyDadTV I know, The design I like. The support for Warranty is crap! You would think for $230.00 the customer service would be A+.
