Spraying FAQs

We have a wide range of spraying equipment to suit all requirements. For our full sprayer range check out our official spraying site Best Sprayers

Out of our Mosskillers range, generally the compression sprayers are a smaller capacity and are carried at the shoulder with a pump at the top. Some of the compression sprayers have optional back-straps so that they can be worn on the back. The knapsack sprayers are larger capacity, are worn at the back and have a handle at the side for pumping.

Check the pH of the chemical that you are using and if you are intending extended use of acids or alkalines then you can choose chemical resistant equipment. Obviously the pH of a product is not the only consideration when deciding which is the most suited sprayer as it is the main active ingredients that are going to cause any issues.

If you need any help selecting a sprayer then just contact us and we will advise on the best options.

The easy answer is that our telescopic lances will fit all the sprayers (apart from the hand sprayers) that we show on our website, both compression sprayers and knapsack sprayers. Some of the units will need a small connector but other than that you can use any of our sprayers with the large telescopic lances. The technical information of each sprayer will confirm if a connector is required or not.

If you are looking to connect our lances to a sprayer that you already own, we can't guarantee that they will connect with or without one of our connectors.

As each manufacturer of spraying equipment tends to have different threads and sizes, there is no guarantee that the 5.4-metre or 3.2-metre telescopic lances will fit any sprayer on the market.

The lances will fit all of our GOIZPER and IK sprayers as well as our electric rechargeable sprayer and Mesto sprayers however, the lances will require a connecting hose if being used with our Mesto sprayers or rechargeable sprayer. We recommend that you purchase a bundle with the lance which includes a hood and a directional tube with the connecting tube.

Electric sprayers are our most complex machines, with many technical components that create a higher chance of defect. Due to their complexity, we have created an Electric Sprayer Troubleshooting Guide if anything should appear faulty, simply follow through the steps to find an easy solution.

The best sprayer is the one that best meets your spraying requirements so there are three points to consider when deciding which sprayer to buy; the first is the size of the area you are planning to spray, the second is the style of sprayer you would prefer, and the third the sprayers compatibility with the chemicals you plan to spray. If we address this final point first, then when it comes to spraying a moss killing solution, you will find that they are generally either a pH-neutral solution (Baticlean CR and Baticlean ECR are just this) or an alkaline (Batifort and Batifast). The pH neutral can normally be used in any type of sprayer, but the alkaline-based products should be used in a sprayer with resistance to alkaline products. If the sprayer is not compatible with the solution being sprayed, its lifespan will be reduced, and it could become dangerous to use. The size of the area being sprayed, or its location,
is probably the main consideration, as the wrong sprayer can become an issue
very quickly. With the application of
moss killers, there isn’t a standard spraying area, as the spraying could be to a roof, a high wall, a patio, a pathway, a tennis court, or a large parking area. Therefore, you need a sprayer that
is easy to use and has the flexibility of attachments. Finally, personal preference has to be considered, so the two main sprayer types are backpack and compression. Backpack sprayers are carried on your back and have a large fill capacity. They can be considered more comfortable to carry than a compression sprayer, so they tend to be used when spraying large areas. A compression sprayer is the more common type of sprayer, and the air is compressed by pumping a handle on top of the cylinder. They are fitted with a shoulder strap, allowing them to be carried over your shoulder; however, some can be fitted with two straps, meaning the tank can be carried as a backpack. Compression sprayers are easy to fill, and their small size makes them easy to use when climbing ladders, and they can offer greater flexibility with attachments.

Whilst our extensive range of compression sprayers and knapsack sprayers give you a whole host of options that will satisfy the requirements of most people, there are always some customisation that would make a, very good sprayer, perfect.

So, we are able to offer a number of variations to some of our sprayers such as different handles, longer hoses, additional lances or a selection of different nozzles. We recently helped a customer who bought one of our PROFI PLUS sprayers but wanted an additional, longer hose. The sprayer is supplied with a 2.5-metre hose but, because of the type of work the customer needed to complete, they wanted the longer length which would enable them to stand the sprayer on the floor and walk to the areas that needed to be sprayed. We supplied the longer, 5-metre, hose and their work was made much easier.

Some of our sprayers will show modification options but, if you can't see the option that best suits then just CONTACT US and we can discuss your needs.

In order to push liquid out of the tank, pressure must be built up. Room is left within the tank for air, which is pressurised prior to spraying. The difference between tank size and working capacity is to allow for this.

When buying a sprayer, it is worth considering the fact that more pressurised air within a tank (or a greater difference between tank size and working capacity) means longer spray time before one must stop and re-pressurise the tank.

It is also crucial to know the working capacity of a sprayer, not just the tank size, as this is the maximum level to which the tank can be filled and still function properly.

Our Electric Sprayers are either charged directly to an outlet, such as the Matabi e7, or is supplied with a 18V lithium-ion battery, such as the Electric Mobile Sprayer.

We offer separate Goizper Batteries, suitable for all of our battery powered electric sprayers, as a replacement for the original or a spare to keep a fully charged option on hand.

We have made a short video 'Charging your Electric Sprayer Battery' to answer any queries you may have.
