Chapin Wet / Dry Hose-End Sprayer #6005

The Chapin Wet / Dry Hose-End Sprayer #6005 is one of the easiest hose-end sprayers we've ever sold. Use both liquid lawn and garden chemicals as well as water soluble granules in this sprayer. The large dial on the top can be turned to the liquid side that will mix from 3 gallons to 21 gallons of liquid chemicals or turned to the granular side for dry granules.  The most important feature is that this #6005 comes with a diptube/straw that is attached to the sprayer. It must be used when the dial is turned to liquid use and must be removed when dial is turned to dry use. It cannot be used when spraying dry granular substances. The large holding container will allow you to spray from 3 to 21 gallons of mixed solution with just one fill! It will allow from 1 1/4 pounds to 2.5 pounds of dry granular. The Chapin 6005 is simple to use, durable, and includes 3 spray patterns: bullet, flat spray or gentle shower. Also features an insulated comfort grip handle with a thumb slide on/off control. Simply attach to the end of a garden hose and the Chapin 6005 mixes just the right amount of pesticide with the water being dispersed. This sprayer is ideal for applying large volumes of pesticide to lawn or garden.

 Instructions:

The Straw/Diptube must be used when spraying liquid and cannot be used when spraying dry granular material.

1. When the liquid side of the dial is used, the straw/diptube must be attached.
2. When the dry side of the sprayer is used, the straw/diptube must be removed.

Filling Instructions:

1. Unscrew jar from sprayer.
2. If using granules, remove straw from sprayer. If using liquid, make sure straw is attached to nipple on underside of sprayer.
3. Place jar on flat surface. Pour in amount of liquid that will provide the amount of product you want. (Multiply the parts per liter/gallon shown on the product label times the number of liters/gallons you wish to make.)
4. Rotate product dial to desired setting. In the case of granules, you may use any quantity in the jar you wish.

Guide:

Liquid Side:

• 11.4 liters/3 gallons
• 22.7 liters/6 gallons
• 56.8 liters/15 gallons
• 79.5 liters/21 gallons

Granular Side:

• 560 grams/1 - 1/4 pounds
• 1130 grams/ 2-1/2 pounds

Instructions For The Dry/Granular Side:

1. Remove sprayer from bottle and take straw off nipple on bottom of sprayer.
2. After removing straw, fill bottle with granules to the manufacturer's recommendation for coverage. Use the handy scale on the side of the label as a guide. Put sprayer back onto the bottle.
3. Screw sprayer on hose end using the convenient hose swivel. Make sure thumb switch on top of the handle is pushed all the way FORWARD. This is the "OFF" position.
4. Dial your product knob counterclockwise to the "granule" setting on the dry side of the dial. Select the spray pattern you wish to use by turning the head on the front of the sprayer. Be sure water switch is in the forward or "OFF" position.
5. Turn on water spigot or faucet for hose. Be sure thumb switch is in the "OFF" position.
6. Slide thumb switch back as far as it can go to the "ON" position. Water will exit sprayer and begin to mix and fill jar with granules in it. This creates a mix which will begin to exit sprayer when jar contents are full. NOTE: color of granules will appear dark in color when you begin and then lighten in color. When the jar is clear, you are done. Unscrew the jar and dump contents on your plant. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for coverage.
7. Some products other than granules will not flow through a regular liquid type sprayer because they are too coarse. A clog free sprayer is the only way to spray them. Fish emulsion, liquid iron, liquid sulfur, or liquid lime are good examples. Just switch the setting on the "DRY" side and follow the same directions outlined.
8. When the product selector knob is in the "OFF" position, you may use your WET OR DRY SPRAYER as a watering tool for your plants.

Instructions For The Liquid Side:

The liquid side must always be used with a straw/diptube as this is a powerful and very accurate venturi system which draws liquid product through a small opening and mixes it with the water passing through.

• 1. Remove lid and make sure straw is on the nipple on the bottom of the sprayer.

YOU MUST HAVE A STRAW WHEN USING LIQUID PRODUCTS.

• 2. The liquid side is unique but simple. It is designed to provide you with various quantities of properly mixed liquid for various size jobs. So, you must first select the number of liters/gallons of product for the area you want to spray.

 There are four selections:

• 11 liters/3 gallons
• 23 liters/6 gallons
• 57 liters/15 gallons
• 80 liters/21 gallons

This means when you are out of product in the jar, you have sprayed the total liters/gallon of mixed product you have selected.

• 3. After determining your needed liters/gallons quanitity, multiply the number of liters/gallons desired times the quanitity per liters/gallons recommended by the manufacturer. Pour this quantity directly into the jar.
• 4. Fill the jar with water to the line that represents the total liters/gallons you want to spray.
• 5. Turn selection knob to the desired liters/gallons of spray setting. DO NOT TURN WATER ON WHEN ADJUSTING SPRAY NOZZLE.
• 6. Select desired spray pattern.
• 7. Spray until empty.
• 8. Let's say you want to make and spray 57 liters/15 gallons of properly mixed product. The manufacturers label tells you to use .25 milliliter per liter/one ounce per gallon, you pour 110 milliliters/15 ounces of product into the jar. Then you pour water into the jar until the combined liquid level reaches the 57 liter/15 gallon mark which is on the jar. Put sprayer on the jar and be sure dial is on the correct liter/gallon setting. When the sprayer is empty, you have sprayed 57 liters/15 gallons of properly mixed product.
• 9. Clean sprayer and jar by rinsing jar and filling partially full of clean water and spraying until empty. If particles are stuck and exit hole is blocked, carefully poke needle or straight pin through hole in bottom of sprayer at each setting. Sometimes shaking the sprayer will suffice or the use of fast repetitive water burst (on-off).
• 10. When the product selector knob is in the "OFF" position, you may use your LIQUID & CLOG FREE SPRAYER as a watering tool for your plants.

    Hose End Sprayer
  By Rick in Midwest on 09/14/2010
  Verified Purchase

  Most people won't get real excited about these types of utility lawn/garden tools, and quite frankly I don't either. This one raised the bar on my thoughts, though. This is a very high quality unit, and I'm glad I added it to my order. I had planned on using my current one, I believe an Ortho or some other brand, but side by side, there is a definite difference in quality and function, especially w/ the multi-pattern adjustable spray, it allows for more precise application fitting for the requirement. I rate it a best buy!

    I'm Impressed, I was skeptical before I tried it.
  By Thomas in South Florida on 08/02/2010
  Verified Purchase

  I purchased this sprayer to try spraying my pesticides instead or using my backpack. I have used it twice now and it works Great! Plenty of distance, good patterns and chemicals go a long way. I was afraid I was going to waste $30.00 a quart product, but it actually used a little less than the backpack sprayer and covered much faster and better.

    Works Great!!
  By Chris in Cooney, WI on 07/29/2010

  I would've given it a 5 star but sprayer doesn't work if you are trying to spray upwards for trees and bushes. Other than that it works great. Easy to figure out. Very durable.

    Perfect Answer for an arduous job!
  By Joanne in Okatie, SC on 03/15/2012
  Verified Purchase

  I have been using a tank sprayer for all my yard and garden needs for several years. I was about to throw in the towel and call Lawn Doctor. The job was tiresome and rather strenouos. I found the Chapin Liquid Hose-end sprayer on your site which I often use for yard care. I used it for the third time yesterday. I cannot say enough positive things about this sprayer. I just put the liquid in the jar, turn the dial to correct ratio, turn on the hose and the job is almost done. I am not exagerrating when I say the yard spraying is done in no time at all. Thank you Chapin for a really time saving, easy to operate sprayer for home use. It is for the novice and the pro.

•   Replacement
  By Roger in Pickwick Dam on 03/30/2018

  Works great but somewhat fragile. This is replacement for the one I purchased last year. First one broke when dropped a couple feet onto concrete driveway. I would recommend this product.

    Chapin wet/dry hose end sprayer #6005
  By Ed in Albuquerque, NM on 09/23/2017

  Seems to be of solid construction however the removable down tube wouldn't stay connected to the top of the apparatus. It is made to be removable but, it seems to me that it should stay on when you want it to. I had to glue the tube on in order to make it stay on, thus losing the ability to use it as a dry sprayer, but now, at least I can use it as a wet sprayer.

    Adequate/Easy to Use
  By David in Indianapolis on 08/20/2017

  The sprayer is easy to use. I was disappointed in the setting for the yard (large areas). I've found the 32oz pre-mixed w/disposable hose sprayer to offer a better pattern of spray.

    Save Your Money
  By Marie in Houston, Texas on 07/19/2017

  I purchase this along with another item. However, this sprayer could not hold the water hose when attached. It kept falling off and I was unable to use it and had to throw it away after the first attempt of using it.

    IT REALLY WORKS
  By Sandra in LARGO ,FL on 08/29/2016

  It is so nice to have an easy-to-use tool for yard maintenance and in Florida, we are constantly maintaining our yards due to the excess rain and pests, etc. Might need some extra "training" on getting the chemical strength correct for the ground clear I use. No parts to rust and no little parts to disappear into the "wild blue yonder"!!

    Save YOIur Money
  By Mark in Brooksville, FL on 06/12/2016

  Directions are a mile off for liquids, or I got a faulty unit? Using the directions, mine empties the containerin 2 minutes on 3/g, 3 minutes on 6/g, 4 minutes on 15g or 5 miluntes on 21 g. Straw falls out every time you open it since it is cut on an angle so only 50% of it touches the surface of the holder. Quality is so low, doubt I use it again. If I walk fast, can cover about 1000 squate foot wth the unit set at 21, so about 1/2 oz of Bifex XTS is almost the correct rate. So I get to fill it up 32 times to get through 2 acres.
