Garden sprayer

Park 990029 12 l

Park 990029 12 L is a twelve-liter pneumatic knapsack atomizer, most of the elements of which are made of thick impact-resistant plastic, thanks to which the device will work for more than one year. The exception is the working tube - it is made of fiberglass, so it is not afraid of shocks and other adverse mechanical effects.

As in the case of the Zhuk Classic OG-112, air is pumped into the Park 990029 using the side lever, which is an undoubted advantage of the device. The kit includes a mesh filter that prevents dirt and small debris from entering the solution.

How to choose a garden sprayer?

At first glance, it may seem that all sprayers are the same and the main difference between them is different tank volumes (from 2 to 80 liters). Small nozzles (2-3 liters) are optimal for greenhouse applications. The devices of medium (5-10 liters) and large (20-80 liters) volume are designed for the processing of garden trees and vegetable gardens.

In addition to various tank capacities, all sprayers are divided, depending on the design, into pump, lever, battery and gasoline. According to the method of moving around the site, they are made in knapsack and wheeled. The first type is more compact and mobile.

With a knapsack sprayer, you can work not only from a ladder, but also climb up a tree trunk. The sprayer on wheels has a large tank and allows you to process a large area of ​​a garden or vegetable garden without refueling.

Structurally, the device of a hand-operated sprayer cannot be called very complex. It consists of a plastic or metal container that houses a mechanical piston pump. A hose with a spray rod "fishing rod" is connected to the outlet of the tank, the handle of which has a start button. The sprayer rod ends with an adjustable nozzle that allows you to change the degree of spray of the solution (the size of the "torch").

Small volume sprayers are available in spray and pump types. In the first case, the mixing unit is located in the spray head, and spraying is performed by periodically pressing the handle.

The second option does not have a separate tank. The sprayed liquid is sucked into the inner cavity by the piston of the hand pump, after which it is pushed out through the nozzle by pressing the handle.

Knapsack sprayers are divided into pump and lever sprayers. In the pump, the pump with the priming handle is located in the center of the cylinder. In the lever, the pump is located at the bottom, and the pumping handle is placed on the left side of the tank.

The lever design is more convenient than the pump design, since it allows you to pump up the tank without removing the sprayer from the shoulders. The volume of knapsack lever sprayers can be from 12 to 20 liters. For left-handers, the model is optimal, in which the lever can be rearranged from the left position to the right.

When choosing a sprayer for the garden and vegetable garden, pay attention to the length of the "fishing rod". The larger it is, the better for work.

It is good when the rod structure is retractable (telescopic). Some manufacturers make the rods short (80-90 cm), but at the same time increase the length of the hose. Judging by user reviews, this solution cannot be called optimal. For processing trees, it is better to buy a model with a rod length of 1.5 meters.

Some manufacturers, such as the German company Solo, are supplying their units with self-contained spray booms. If necessary, they can be easily replaced with longer telescopic ones.

Speaking about the quality and ergonomics of sprayers, in addition to the mentioned brand Solo, the Polish brands Marolex, Kwazar, German Gardena, English Hozelock and Russian Beetle should be noted.

Chinese sprayers Grinda (Grinda) are inexpensive and easy to use. However, judging by the feedback from users, it is very difficult to find spare parts for them. Therefore, after the end of the one-year warranty, repairs become a problem.

The cost of hand sprayers depends not only on the volume of the tank, but also on the brand reputation among users. Therefore, domestic and Chinese brands occupy a budget niche with price tags from 700 to 1800 rubles. Prices for German, Italian and Polish sprayers of medium capacity (5-12 liters) range from 2,000 to 7,500 rubles.

Popular types of garden sprayers by type of work and their characteristics

By type of construction, sprayers are divided into:

• spray guns;
• pumping stations;
• pump-action;
• lever;
• rechargeable;
• gasoline.

Atomizers

For manual spray nozzles with a reservoir up to 2 l, the mixing unit is located in the head. Spraying the liquid is done by pressing the lever. Such devices can be sold with or without a reservoir.

Important! Spray guns are absolutely useless for treating large areas, since working with such a device will take a very long time. They are ideal for plants grown directly in the house or apartment, as well as small flower beds

They are ideal for plants grown directly in the house or apartment, as well as small flower beds.

Pump type

Pump sprayers do not have a separate reservoir. With the help of a hand pump, liquid enters the inner compartment, and when the handle is pressed, it is sprayed into the external environment. The process is similar to the principle of a bicycle pump.

Such a sprayer is suitable for processing on larger areas: a flower garden, a vegetable garden, a garden, etc.

Pump

Pump sprayers operate on the principle of manual pumping of liquid. A powerful pneumatic pump is installed in them (as a rule, in the container lid). The pumping handle is located in the center of the structure, the rod extends to a length of up to 3 m.

With the help of a pump, the pressure required for spraying is created in the reservoir. The need for pumping is determined by the reduction in spray intensity. These sprayers come in the form of small handheld devices (like a spray gun), large knapsack and other devices. With a tank volume of up to 2 liters, indoor plants are sprayed with a spray, from 3 to 12 liters - areas up to 30 acres, up to 20 liters - a site up to 50 acres.

Lever

Lever sprayers also have a pump, but it is located at the bottom of the structure, and the handle is on the left. By the way, on some models the handle can be rearranged from left to right. That is why they are more convenient than pump pumps, since fluid pumping can be done without additional manipulations (remove from the shoulders, pump up and put it back on). The tank volume of such devices can vary from 12 to 20 liters.

Rechargeable

Battery-type sprayers - a device on wheels. They are more convenient than pump analogs, since the pumping process is performed by a battery, and the spray jet is more powerful. The battery is built into the sprayer housing. Charging the battery lasts up to 6 hours of continuous use.

Did you know? The world's first rechargeable battery was created by G. Plantte in 1859.

Cordless sprayers also save on chemicals, as the “fine mist” spray function is more pronounced. The volume of their tanks varies from 15 to 20 liters (5-liter models are rare).

Gasoline

Gasoline-type sprayers are equipped with a gasoline engine with a capacity of 2-5 l / s with a tank capacity of 12-20 liters. Such a device can process a plot of up to 1 hectare. The jet has a throw range of 15 m and a height of 7 m. A petrol sprayer allows you to treat up to 5 hectares of land during the day. Unlike other types, gasoline has a thick rod, from which liquid comes out under pressure in the form of a fine mist or a large aerosol. Despite the high price, it does not lose popularity among farmers.

Repair

Despite the fact that Gardena produces high-quality and reliable garden tools, breakdowns do happen. Most often, sprayers of this brand break down due to non-compliance with the operating rules prescribed by the manufacturer in the instructions.

Over time, the user may encounter problems with the operation of the device.

1. Leaks. Most often observed in the area of ​​connection valves or nozzles. The malfunction is caused by a shift or deformation of the gasket (O-ring). To solve the problem, you need to "return" the gasket to its place or replace it in case of damage.
2. Clogging. Appears when the nozzle is clogged with dirt or small mechanical particles. If the sprayer becomes clogged, a spray blockage will occur.To restore the device to work, flush the nozzle with water or rinse the nozzle under the pressure of water.
3. Loss of pressure. The reason for such a malfunction is a failed pump assembly or a worn out gasket. Repair of such damage is carried out by replacing the broken parts with new ones.

In this situation, you need to contact the nearest service center to eliminate the malfunctions that have arisen.

Cordless sprayers

This type of sprayers is becoming more and more popular among summer residents and gardeners. They do not require manual pumping and allow you to spray plants for several hours on a single battery charge. Having delivered the battery sprayer to your summer cottage without power supply, you can easily do the job of protecting trees and vegetables from pests.

When buying a battery powered sprayer, you need to choose the branded model with the maximum battery capacity. Attempts to save money will not bring anything good, since the resource of the device directly depends on the quality of the electric pump and battery.

By weight, an electric sprayer is not much heavier than a manual pump. At the same time, it sprays the liquid further and creates a finer "fog". Powerful models have booms with not one, but three spray nozzles. This significantly reduces the processing time of the site.

Despite all the advantages, the electric sprayer cannot reach the top tier of tall fruit trees. This work is performed with a more powerful gasoline unit.

How to choose a garden sprayer?

Garden spray guns are divided into several types according to two parameters: the principle of their operation and the location of the tank for the liquid intended for application to plants.

Depending on the principle of operation, sprayers are of the following types.

• Pump. To supply liquid to the surface to be treated, a special pump must be set in motion. As a rule, it is located on the handle of the device. This type of spray is very cheap, but working with them for a long time is very fatiguing, since you have to constantly move the pump handle.
• Manual (or pneumatic). This type of device sprays liquid due to the high pressure previously created in its container. It is achieved through a pump built into the tank. With its help, air is pumped into the tank, which pushes the solution outward. Such devices are more expensive than manual ones, but they are not so tiring when working with them - they only need to be pumped up from time to time.
• Electric (rechargeable). The liquid in it is pushed out due to the work of an electric pump, which is powered by a battery installed in the atomizer. Requires periodic recharging from the mains, but a single charge is usually enough for almost a full day of continuous operation. Such a unit is even more expensive than a manual one, but more convenient.
• Petrol. The solution is fed to the nozzle by a pump driven by a small internal combustion engine. It is distinguished by a high level of noise during operation, however, it is more autonomous than electric, since it can function even where there is no power grid for recharging the battery.

There are two types of sprayers depending on the location of the tank.

• Knapsack.The capacity for liquid in such devices is a kind of knapsack and has straps with which you can put it on your shoulders. This is the most convenient type of device. However, it should be remembered that it will be difficult for women and children to use it, since the weight of the tank reaches twenty to thirty kilograms. Best suited for treating trees.
• Capless. This type most often includes pump spray guns that do not have a separate tank for the solution. Any household container (bucket, canister, small barrel) can play its role. They are not very convenient, as the solution is often spilled when working with them.
• With ground storage. Such devices have a tank in the kit, however, it cannot be hung on the back due to its large volume. As a rule, the container moves on wheels.

When choosing a garden spray bottle, you should pay attention to the following important points

• Functioning principle. Depending on how autonomous you need the unit, how much money you are willing to spend on the purchase and in what conditions you are going to work, you need to choose one of the types of equipment that we talked about above. In most cases, a pump and hand pulver are sufficient.
• Volume of the tank. The more liquid can be poured into the sprayer, the longer it will be able to work offline. But the tank becomes even heavier. So you will have to decide on its volume.
• Manufacturer. Today, many different brands, well-known and not so well-known, offer their products to summer residents and rural residents. Some of them produce quality products, some are unreliable. Before buying, it is better to read the reviews about the device, look for information about the brand, manufacturer. And only after that go to the store.
• Price. As is the case with many other devices, when choosing a spray gun for a garden, the best solution would be to buy a unit at an average price. Expensive sprayers are usually of high quality, but still not worth the money, and cheap ones are not credible. The best choice would be the "golden mean".
