The directions for a hand pump sprayer state it uses 1-3 gallons of water. You say to fill up the sprayer and add Top Shot and treat. Well , do you use 1 gallon , 2 gallons, or 3 gallons. If you use one gallon it is going to be stronger than if you use 3 gallons. Do you have specific gallons of water to use with a pump up sprayer? 1,2,or 3?
The Martin's TopShot Weed Killer package contains 2 ampules, and each one covers 2,500 sq ft. You can use anywhere from 1-3 gallons of water to dilute the product to treat that 2500 sq ft area. The lower volume will be better for fewer weeds or less dense growth, while the higher volume will be better for denser weed growth so that you have sufficient coverage on the targe weeds. Keep in mind that when using herbicides, it is most important to use the correct amount of active ingredient for the size area you are treating, and you can just think of the water as a carrier for that active ingredient.
