    Chapin Pro Series 4 Gallon Sprayer

    By Jeff on 05/19/2009

    I love this Chapin Pro 4 gallon sprayer, it has been the best one that I have found. I have used a lot of sprayers,and this one has been the best by far!! Only thing I would like is the option to add an extension to the wand.

    Makes quick work of a distasteful chore

    By Thomas on 05/24/2013

    Verified Purchase

    I live in coastal GA, which means an unrelenting assault by palmetto bugs (giant cockroaches for those fortunate enough not to know), sand gnats, and ants. Before buying this sprayer it took me 3-4 hours to lay down a barrier around the house, garage, and workshop as well as the interior of the garage and workshop (I forgot to mention the nasty spiders lurking in those places). My smaller sprayers have limited pressure, making it a real bother getting around the shrubbery. The frequent need to refill chewed up a lot of time as did that to set it down and pump it up. From start to finish I got the job done in a little over an hour with this sprayer. I had to refill only once, and the pump lever let me effortlessly maintain maximum pressure. The sprayer delivers a wide stream, even into the rafters. The only problem I had (and it is a minor one) was getting the thing on my back when filled. Next time I'll set it on a table first. The rig is surprisingly comfortable once the straps are adjusted - even with a bad back I barely noticed the weight. There is a right tool for every job. For my money, this is precisely that.

    Love it

    By Dewayne on 06/11/2012

    This Pro Series 4 gallon is a nice unit and it makes quick work of my needs when spraying my property as i use it for weed and grass killer. Saves me time from doing refill and the adjustable pressure is a nice feature. I don't think anyone could go wrong selecting this unit.The wand is easily adjustable and the hand pump is both very accessible and effective. There is great filtration to help keep junk from getting into the tank or wand and it's easy to clean when done. I've used it both full and with just only 2 gallons and have been delighted with the results from using the Chapin.

    Good Choice

    By Anonymous on 08/22/2013

    We finally broke down and spent the money to get a sprayer that would offer ease of use, and hold more so we could be more efficient. We've got a lot of garden beds, and at last we were able to spray all of them - with Mosquito Barrier, another great buy - without having to stop constantly to refill the tank. Realize that 4 gallons of liquid is heavy, so you might need a break, but the quality and simple operation of this unit is so worth it.

    Chapin Pro Series 4 gallon Backpack

    By Jay on 07/08/2017

    This is my second Chapin Pro 4 Gallon Backpack. I used the first one for weedkiller. It's 2 yrs old and still looks and operates as new. I ordered this second one for non-weedkiller applications. I have a one acre yard and it beats dragging a hand held sprayer around the yard. "Do My Own" had the lowest price for this sprayer including Amazon. I would highly recommend this sprayer to my friends looking for a backpack sprayer.

    Chapin Pro Series 4 Gallon Backpack sprayer

    By Harold on 08/31/2012

    Verified Purchase

    After many purchases of those cheap "Roundup" sprayers, both small and large from Walmart, I let go a a few dollars and bought the one in the Review Title, the 4 gallon backpack model. I have used it twice, I own a bar and have my home, lot of weeds to kill, lot of pumping. This sprayer has made it so much easier, pump as you go and you can carry enough to last a long spell. I wish I would have enough sense to have done this long before, could have saved over buying the ones that last one day to one season.

    EXCELLECT SPRAYER

    By Corey on 04/25/2012

    Verified Purchase

    This is a very good value sprayer. I bought this and enough Bifen IT to last my house plus 4 others for a couple years for a good bit less then I paid the local pest control to spray the exact same pestiside one time. This sprayer came 98% assembled. I had to put the straps on and the pump hand (with retaining pin) and it was done in just minutes and that evening I sprayed my entire front yard without having to stop once to refil or pump, just pump as I go. The adjustable brass tip is really nice too.

    Great, easy of assembly, mixing (large opening at the lid), and pump and spray. Creates a much finer mist type spray so coverage is much greater with less loss of volume in tank.

    Great deal on a reliable rig

    By Randolph on 04/25/2016

    Not the most expensive sprayer out there, but it definitely gets the job done. Most of the parts are replaceable, which makes it well worth the investment. It's pretty tough, so as long as you treat it right I doubt replacement will happen often. Doesn't take much to pump it up and tackle a large job, and it handles well on your back with a full tank. It took a minute to figure out how to switch out nozzles, but then again I didn't read the directions... So far I've run 6 full tanks through it and haven't had a problem.

    Works like a champ

    By Brent on 06/30/2017

    I've run about 10 gallons through it and it's working great! Soooo much easier than lugging my 2 gal handheld around.

    Great sprayer, good price

    By R. on 06/08/2017

    I've had this sprayer only two weeks, but from day one I've been impressed. First, it arrived sooner than I expected; second it fits well, operates well, and has three spray options that work very well. Obviously two weeks doesn't provide info on how well it lasts, but so far so good. And so far a bargain at the price. My last sprayer was German-made. This one is better.

    Life got so much better!

    By Keith on 05/19/2017

    I LOVE this backpack sprayer. I spray my yard 3x a year to keep ticks away. Before I got this backpack sprayer, I used the 1 gl sprayer that I had to carry. That was miserable. This Chapin sprayer holds 4 gl on my back. It was so much faster and easier to spray my yard. It is also well built and can be repaired. Worth every cent!

    Excellent sprayer

    By Ian on 08/31/2016

    Came in a box that had been re-packed, re-sealed with tape, and had crushed corners. No manual in the box and the parts kit didn't seem to match the sprayer. BUT ... it's an excellent sprayer, much more convenient and efficient than a 2-gallon hand sprayer. Very easy to use and a good throw by the wand. However, if you haven't hauled a 4-gallon backpack sprayer, remember that four gallons weighs about 35 pounds. Get a helper to help you fit the backpack and get used to walking around before you get into soft ground near your pond! Recommend this sprayer.

    Ahhh, no more refilling

    By Pierre on 11/13/2014

    Verified Purchase

    Used to use a 1.5 gallon hand held pump sprayer and had to refill 2-3 times to treat all the outside walls and soffit. Now, just one filling works. Not only does that save time, but with the ability to pump/pressurize as you're spraying, no more stopping to put the sprayer on the ground while I pump it up. Cuts the time to treat the house in half!

    An unbeatable buy!

    By Azmom on 08/29/2011

    My husband and I for years have been using those little one gallon hand pump spray systems. We ordered two of these to try and cut down time doing the pest control service on our 4 duplexes and OMG, took a little over 30 minutes to do all of the units. So much easier!

    As Described

    By Keith on 04/17/2015

    Verified Purchase

    I was more excited than I should have been to receive my sprayer. I filled it up with 4 gallons of organic fertilizer and was able to feed my plants. It worked flawlessly. I've only used it once so I cannot comment to durability but it appears to be a well made piece of equipment that should last many years.

    Chapin back pack sprayer easy to use

    By Sandra on 04/06/2018

    Used it to lay pre emergent and happy with the ease of use. Much more comfortable to use larger volume in back pack than hauling hand sprayer over my two acres!

    Customer service

    By Sidney on 02/04/2018

    After a couple of years my backpack sprayer stopped building pressure. A screw had broken off the pump assembly. One phone call to customer service and the nice lady sent a new assembly. NO CHARGE. Received with a couple of days and now it's like new. No hassle. Try that with the cheap foreign junk. Won't buy anything else, probably won't have to.

    By Bob on 09/02/2017

    I have a 10 acre woods, and I want to clear it of invasive undergrowth over the next few months. This unit is just right for the job. I fill it with the four gallons, use that in a planned area, and do another run when I choose to.
