Purchase criteria

Purpose and type of pressure sprayer

Although we only have manually operated Pump sprayer presented, as these can be used in a particularly versatile manner both outdoors and indoors, but depending on the intended use, other types of pressure sprayer may be more suitable.

Cordless pressure sprayer: As a rule, pump sprayers are brought to the pressure required for spraying by hand. If you do not have the power to do this or do not want to pump yourself for other reasons, you can use a battery-operated pressure sprayer. This is powered by a rechargeable battery, but some devices only work with batteries that have to be constantly replaced and bought.

Pump pressure sprayer: Manually operated pump sprayers are versatile: They are suitable for use in the garden, but also for cleaning bicycles, stroller tires and other things. However, the volume of these devices is usually limited to a maximum of three to five liters and is therefore manageable.

Foam pressure sprayer: Foam sprayers, on the other hand, are not suitable for watering plants or for applying pesticides. They were developed solely as cleaning devices, for example for cleaning bicycles or cars. They consist of a material that is insensitive to cleaning agents and can be filled with them as well as with water.

Backpack sprayer: Backpack sprayers usually have a high capacity (which is why you have to carry them on your back like a backpack) and are operated by battery or electric motor. These sprayers are perfect if you have a large garden or large areas (e.g. B. Facades, driveways) have to be cleaned.

Safety valve

A safety valve is indispensable if you want to use the pressure sprayer to apply toxic spray agents such as fertilizers, fungicides and other pesticides or chemical cleaning agents. The valve prevents the liquids mentioned from escaping unintentionally. An extended tube is also recommended so that you don't accidentally come into contact with toxins. The material used should be acid-safe.

Volume / filling quantity

Many manual pump pressure sprayers are equipped with a volume between 1.5 and 5 liters, what for small to medium-sized areas - such as a flower bed or a bicycle to be cleaned - perfectly adequate is. If, on the other hand, a larger area is to be sprayed - for example to water a large garden - you need a sprayer with a capacity of at least 10 liters. In this case is a Backpack splashes makes sense, since such large devices are of course correspondingly heavy.

material

Pressure sprayers are made of either metal or plastic. Which material you choose depends on the intended area of ​​application. Sprayers, which are primarily used for watering and spreading fertilizers, can be made of metal. Brass is particularly suitable, as this metal does not rust and is very stable. In contrast, it is better to spray pesticides and acidic cleaning agents from a device made of acid-resistant material.

weight

However, pressure sprayers made of metal are more robust than plastic devices, but they are also much heavier. Plastic sprayers score points here because they are much lighter and therefore easier to transport and use. An example to illustrate the difference: A plastic device with a volume of 5 liters weighs around 1.5 kilograms empty, and approx. 6.5 kilograms. The same device made of metal already weighs four kilograms empty, and fills nine kilograms.
