8 Litre Pressure Sprayer

I love it. I'm a window cleaner. I bought the 8l version. The standard kit is great. Make sure you put the seal on the threaded exit from the tank to the lance. Keep it safe. Without it, the unit loses pressure/air. I wanted to get a cheap foamer to allow greater dwell time or contact time of the chemicals I use. I therefore modified the internal dispensing tube and experimented a touch to add pressurised air to the uPVC cleaner and water mix. To do that I found about 2 pin size holes sufficient in the internal clear pipe above the waterline. Then I put a small length 1.5 inches long of pipe cleaner about inside the lance also had success with stainless steel wool from a scrubbing pad. More length to create finer foam. Stainless wool first then the pipe cleaner. Experiment... I used a presta air valve, as cheaper than a schrader valve, to allow me to add air pressure from a compressor. The safety valve activates on mine at around 33psi. I use it at 25 psi generally. I love not pumping to spraying as much. Leave space for the compressed air in the bottle to get greater spray time. 1/2 full is the sweet spot for me. I got a cheap, circa £26, digital bicycle rechargeable battery pump to give me pressure on the move. I do work on residential properties and find it a good compromise to speed up a pvc clean. An ionics constant flow unit is currently £450. My setup I estimate cost me around £60 quid tops. I already have a cleaning warehouse chemical dispenser with 1/4 bsp 110 deg sprayer jet as a future upgrade planned but I love spraying with 2 no 50 deg fan jets and instantly agitating the chemical and dirt with my flocked Gardiner brush. Great with degreaser on eggs. 🤫 Tip, if using with a pole setup use rectus 21 connections to allow moving easily between pole and lance. 5mm ID. If making a foamer try get the mixer aka stainless steel wire (or wire pipe cleaner) as close as possible to the standard non foaming nozzle delivery point. It helps to move the cleaner and water unmixed up the hose before mixing and delivering foam in my experiments.

good product..does the job..could do with a proper back holding harness as it's heavy when only partly filled. It has a strap.

Very simple to use, a decent adjustable spray pattern. My only criticism is the wand it’s plastic/fibreglass similar to tent poles. Very stiff and feels brittle. The wand I received looked fine until I pressurised the bottle for the first time and it had some hair line cracks in it, which started to leak. Manged to finish the bottle despite the cracks. I think over time even if you received a good wand it would be the first thing to go. Returned it for the 5 litre with brass wand as the bottle and mechanism itself were good, pity they don't do a 8ltr with brass wand.

Great so far, I initially bought the 8l version and found it was ideal for watering my flower troughs and baskets using the spray function but a bit heavy when full. I was still impressed how it makes life so much easier so I have now bought a 5l version to use for weed killer spray.

This is a perfect sprayer for around the garden or a yard. Easy to use, does not leak and is not too heavy. I have ordered another one so I have one for weed spray and one for Round Up. You can spray for ages with a few pumps. I have now used it for a while and am very disappointed. It always blocks up after a few sprays, no matter how I try and clean it out. I have just binned the sprayer in a foul temper. It needs to be supplied with numerous nozzles so they can be thrown away when they don't work. Very disappointed and annoyed. I am now going back to my old hand held sprayer. I bought two of these and they both have the same problem.

Whilst using the 8litre spray pump standing on a concrete patio, it toppled over and the brittle plastic pressure relief snapped off. Whilst it is not the manufacturer’s fault that the bottle toppled it is not an unexpected event and the product should be designed with more robust fittings. All the more reason therefore why you expect replacement parts, but this does not appear to be the case as Spear & Jackson do not provide replacement relief valves. We have to rely on “cheap” but expensive after-market products! Sadly, it is not as good a quality as the obsolete Killaspray that it replaced!

Excellent product. Very strong pump.

Great purchase! Larger than expected but that’s a good thing.

Exactly what i needed to wash my bike! Really happy with it, I used to use a bucket and water and now it's so much easier. For my purpose it's fantastic!

Good Product

Le colis étant détérioré, ce qui fait qu'il manque une pièce pour fixer la lance donc inutilisable. La pièce de petite taille a du sortir par les trous de détérioration de l'emballage.

تم تجربتها وكما بالوصف وممتازة جدا وخامتها جيدة واوصى بها

I did a ton of research and chose this for rinse less car wash. Once pumped, the spray is very good and does the job brilliantly. I fill up 5 lit of water and can easily Carry it on my shoulder with the strap The only issue i have is that there is no holster / sleeve to hang the spray rod when you end spraying, other than fitting it horizontally across the pump handle (less than ideal). i have attached a plastic tube to the main canister, to hold the rod, rather than let it dangle or sit on the floor. Will probably get another one as this is at an excellent price
