We still use them Splash, but not too often anymore. That is because as the pressure falls off during use, the amount of chemical dispensed varies widely with the pressure applied, especially over large areas. We use them mostly these days for smaller areas where the variation in pressure is not as great, like areas under 200 sq ft. They should be on the truck as a backup in case your HF or electric sprayer fails.

NO. NOT FOR APPLYING CLEANERS. I didn't realize you were conducting a survey. |

Mr. Steamer: Granulated powder. Are you not suppose to add water to that before you put it in the sprayer and Head to the trenches?? Order your HIDE in liquid. |

Pump up sprayers are ok if used properly for different applications. It all depends on your budget.

If your product is of the nature to clog up your sprayer and equipment I wonder what it is doing to the carpet. Someone should do a survey on how many hours and how many dollars are wasted on pumping up sprayers. This is a very non-productive costly endeavor. Not to mention the inefficiency of the spray coming out at different and declining pressures. It's bad enough that these are being used for pre-spray but when using it with carpet protectors such as Scotchgard you are never going to get consistent coverage. My preference is the Hydro Force sprayer. It's always the same pressure as your pump and Hot. Yes the combination of Hot, Forcefull, Fast and Penetrating gives you the superior cleaning at a low labour cost compared to pump up sprayers. |
