@@marvinmensah2956 i was going to buy the $145 version someone posted because i am in NJ we only get 4 months of good hot weather to use it, and even then I would only use it twice in a year. but after some pondering i chose the one that Silver Cymbal recommended which is twice the price @$299 prime. only because i do not want to deal with getting parts for this down the road and the cheaper version looked a little cheaper in materials

Believe you should disconnect the pressure pump before using dry via leaf blower otherwise it could burn out the pump. Edit: Don't need to disconnect the pressure pump, just need to add water to the tank, then close the white fluid valve so that water is cycling through the pump to cool it but not blowing out the end. Found an article on Tomahawk's site: 'How To Convert A Tomahawk TMD14 Backpack Fogger Into A Leaf Blower'

The two products I like the best are the Demand CS amzn.to/2OpjOOb and the Talstar amzn.to/2VtSMH2 both work very well but Demand CS is my favorite due to its safety record and the way it works is totally different and safer than most pesticides.

You can use it within any liquid product but for fertiizers I would not reccoment it only since it would be very difficult to be precisely even with your walking, etc. But for booster type products this could prove useful on larger areas . You can throttle down also for more control and a smaller space too.
