    Q
    How far can a Birchmeier backpack sprayer spray? Looking to spray insecticide on my house.
    A
    Like most backpack sprayers, the Birchmeier backpack sprayer can typically spray 10 to 15 feet.  There is one hand pump sprayer on the market that can reach up to 30 feet which we happen to carry called a slide pump sprayer.

  • Asked by Kevin from Lancaster, Ca
    09/26/2013
    Q
    What is the most common tank size?
    How large of a tank is most common with the pest control companies? Your professional opinion is appreciated. If the pesticide solution is mixed in the am, is it alright to keep it in the sprayer for an 8 - 10 hr work day? Will the solution have an effect on the sprayer if left in the tank too long?
    A
    Four gallon tanks are common for backpack sprayers applied by professionals. We recommend discarding any mixed solution after 24hrs. It is also important to rinse your tank, wand and nozzle to prolong the life of your equipment.

    Q
    What is the difference between the standard cone nozzle and the other nozzles?
    This will be my first backpack sprayer purchase. Going to start of using it for a couple of applications of bug juice and log wash for a log home. Then going to use it for general pesticides. Would the nozzle that came with it be acceptable? If there is another nozzle that may be better could you link to that please? Thanks.
    A

    When choosing a cone nozzle, it is dependent on the drop size you are wanting and what you are spraying. The adjustable cone nozzle that comes with the Birchmeier 4 Gallon Backpack Sprayer is a hollow cone nozzle. This nozzle gives you a wide cone spray with medium drop size. Please look at the two guides below to help chose the right nozzle for you. Please let us know if have any further questions.

    12/16/2015
    Q
    Is the Birchmeier 4 Gallon (15k) Backpack Sprayer (109600001) capable of spraying concrete sealer?
    A

    No, standard Birchmeier sprayers such as the 4 Gallon (15K) Backpack Sprayer (109600001) should not be used to apply harsh chemical such as concrete sealer. Neither the seals nor the other components would hold up to these materials. We do sell other sprayers that can be used for concrete sealant, such as the Chapin Concrete Sprayer 3.5 Gallon (1949). The Chapin Concrete sprayer can be used for form oil and curing compound applications, but not for acetones. If you are only needing to spray a chemical like this one time, you could use an inexpensive sprayer such as the Chapin 1 Gallon Pump Sprayer 20000, and then discard the sprayer after use. (We encourage you to check with local waste disposal agencies for proper disposal.) Please let us know if you have further questions.
