FAQs
Can this sprayer be used with all types of acidic chemicals?
Although fitted with FPM seals, we can't guarantee that this sprayer is compatible with any type of liquid just because it's an acid. Please remember that it is not just the pH that determines which sprayer can be used but the active ingredients of your chemical. We therefore recommend that if there is any uncertainty then send us the safety data sheet (MSDS) for the product you wish to use and we will check compatibility. If the product is not compatible then we will recommend an alternative sprayer for you.
Can this sprayer be used with your long telescopic lances?
Yes. This sprayer can be used with both our 2.5 metre, 3.2 metre and 5.4-metre telescopic lances. We have included these lances in the accessories list and they include any required connectors. It can also be used with our shorter, telescopic brass lance extensions so additional reach isn't something that you really have to worry about.
What guarantee do I get with this sprayer?
You get a full 12 months with mechanical breakdowns so, providing that the sprayer is being used as intended, then if something snaps you tell us and we replace the part for you. If it's damage caused by a chemical compatibility issue then we will cover the damage providing that we have confirmed the chemical compatibility with the sprayer. When it comes to the availability of spares, this is guaranteed for 20 years from the date of purchase.
