SPRAYERS & SPRAYING
Elevating the humble backpack sprayer with accessories
he backpack sprayer is
T undoubtedly a useful tool in groundscare . But , despite being a common sight in all manner of professional settings , is there more to this humble piece of equipment than first meets the eye ? We will argue that perhaps many professionals are missing a trick or two when using knapsacks . They may be just a bit more versatile than one might first imagine .
IT ’ S ALL ABOUT THE ACCESSORIES DARLING !
In the world of fashion , accessories can be used to enhance otherwise mundane clothing . In a similar vein so too can the knapsack sprayer be enhanced by add-on items . The big difference is that sprayer accessories , unlike say uselessly small handbags , will actually add functionality ! Far from being simply decorative , sprayer accessories can vastly expand the uses for backpack and hand-held spraying devices . And they are relatively inexpensive .
BOOM , BOOM , BOOM !
The most basic add-on to a sprayer is a multiple nozzle boom . This allows for wider spraying , meaning large areas can be treated quickly . Most professional users will know about the basic booms available . What you might not know about are the side spraying booms , the rear mounted booms and the adjustable angle booms available on the market . These more advanced booms can dramatically improve performance and help deliver the spray exactly where it is needed .
