Whilst some motorised sprayers require you to constantly squeeze the spray trigger, this model gives your hands a bit of a rest making it a lot easier to use for longer jobs. For example, the spray that is produced from the lance is powerful enough without being overly pressurised, and the adjustable nozzle can be twisted to produce a range of different spray patterns – whether you want to mist the humidity-loving plants in your garden, or apply cleaning solution to your patio. Therefore, in terms of primary functions, this garden sprayer is very effective. Garden Sprayer 5 litre Pressure Sprayer Pump Action by Ansio – super annoyingly the pump seal is less tight than the seal with the pressure pot so I started filling the wrong void 😀 This is a good quality garden sprayer, made in Germany and has Viton seals, ensuring a leak free gardening experience.
This garden sprayer’s dimensions are 19 x 19 x 50 cm and it weighs 1.5 Kg. There is a shoulder strap included to help handle the weight. In a piston pump pressure sprayer, there is a tube connected to the bottom of the main tank. Within this tube, a piston goes up and down to create pressure. Some piston sprayers are capable of delivering around 60 psi pressure. High pressure is useful for applying liquid fertilisers and spray herbicides because the droplet size will be smaller and therefore spread more evenly. Diaphragm Sprayer

Here are, what we consider, the seven best garden sprayers reviewed for you. We’ve chosen products that we think give you the best value for money, and that are affordable for everyone. Pressure release valve Some of the more premium sprayers come with a choice of nozzles. If you want a particularly versatile sprayer, different nozzles are worth looking out for. These can help angle the jet for specific jobs like cleaning under car arches. However, the most important thing is to ensure the sprayer has at least an adjustable wand head to adjust the concentration of the water. The spray itself is also very impressive. When used with the max pressure (23 pumps), the spraying water is powerful enough to wash windows and cars, with the same strength as a motorised pressure washer. You therefore need to get used to its power, and work out how many pumps best suit each job, to avoid jet washing the lawn when you’re trying to apply weed killer. To help with this, the adjustable cone nozzle can be twisted to change the force of the spray.To prevent premature damage by the user, the pump piston has been given a well lubricated o-ring, and this also helps keep the pumping action smooth and easy. There is also a pressure release valve to stop you accidentally over pumping and damaging the sprayer. Adjustable shoulder straps are crucial for comfort when it comes to comfort. For smaller garden sprayers, (1 – 7 L) one strap should be sufficient. One strap will keep your hands free whilst being enough to comfortably support smaller sprayer. Of course, this ‘continuous use’ is limited to how long it takes before the tank needs refilling, but generally you can get at least 20 minutes from the 7 L container – this would certainly feel like a lifetime if you had to hold the lever down the whole time. Weighing under 1 kg when empty, it doesn’t exceed 6 kg even when filled with water. If you’re concerned about carrying heavier weights, or just want something that’s less effort, this is an option that’s suitable for the majority of gardeners.

Generally, a 5 L tank will be best for small areas. So, smaller gardens, patios, and standard driveways. A 5 L tank will also mean a lighter unit when full, which might be more suitable if you aren’t able to support heavy weight for a long period of time. On sale for a penny under ten pounds is this garden pressure sprayer from Garden Gear. It has a five litre translucent tank with markers for you to see the level of the liquids inside, and can be used with any soluble fluids.
The plastic construction is of a decent quality for the low price, especially the large d-shaped pump handle which feels particularly robust and easy to use.
The tank has a safety valve for releasing excess pressure and preventing damage which is fairly standard these days. Choosing the right capacity ultimately comes down to how large the area you want to treat is, and how much weight you can comfortably support. Anyone with a large garden will know how much of a full-time job it can be to effectively eliminate weeds and pests.As you can see it doesn’t take much getting used to and very easy to use – but remember not to spray weeds with a mist too fine in windy conditions as a herbicide in the lungs is not good! So always aim on the cautious side, and with Creocote I don’t care how rough it looks, I let it spurt out – there’s no way I am ingesting those fumes again. I felt really rough even though I wore a mask. So now I let it squirt out and run. No problem with that. I do not set the nozzle fine: No matter the quality of your pressure sprayer, it won’t last as long if you don’t wash it out well between uses. If you’re using any chemicals, such as weed killers, make sure that none of the solution is left in the tank after use – it could corrode the plastic over time.

Versatility and mobility are two words that come to mind when I think of garden sprayers – you heard me mention in the intro how I prefer a garden sprayer over an electric sprayer:
they are versatile because they are able to help you distribute water, fertiliser, fungicides, pesticides, wood preservers, stains, teak oil, and paint, onto the parts of the garden that need them most with minimal waste. I even used my garden sprayer to seal in the tiles in my bathroom I just renovated – you could easily do the same with a patio sealer and brush for ease too.It’s essential that your garden sprayer is made from a durable material that won’t corrode when exposed to harsh chemicals. This 5 litre garden pressure sprayer from makers Solo has been designed with a 3 bar operating pressure to keep you spraying for longer between pumping stops.
The 270 cubic cm pump has a strong handle and a smooth action and doesn’t take long to get to full pressure. Once fully pressurized, the sprayer will be able to operate until the 5 litre tank is almost empty. There is a space on the handle to securely store the spray wand when you are not using it
