Product Description

"Just three easy steps to a professionally sprayed yard"--that's what the packaging claims on this Gilmour hose end sprayer, and it's the truth. Just fill the bottle, set the dial, and spray. The Gilmour hose end sprayer dilutes as it sprays so you don't have to premix (unless you're using a powdered formula), and the metering dial lets you choose one of 16 dilution rates. We especially liked the little extras: a finger-molded nozzle for comfortable gripping, an unbreakable bottle, a removable deflector so you can switch from spray to stream, and a meticulously written care and instruction booklet. Gilmour's free replacement policy is nice, too. This sprayer is as solid and reliable as they come.

Product Description

Gilmours' no pre-mix sprayers are easy to use. Concentrate is poured directly into the sprayer. Simply set the dial to dilution rate and spray. When finished, pour unused portion back into original container. No measuring, no pre-mixing, and no waste.

5.0 out of 5 stars I should have paid attention to the instructions. April 10, 2007

By Wally W. Colson

The Sprayer worked great for a week or so then I noticed the liquid Fertilizer was not going down in the bottle very much. So I gave it a test and dialed the highest level and sprayed it for a good while. The liquid went down none. I took the sprayer a part and cleaned it real well. It was pluged up. I then read the read instructions and it told me to clean it well after each usage. I cleaned it and it work perfectly. I then started cleaning it every time I use it and it works well. Here is how I clean it. I filled a 2 gallon bucket with water and now every time I use the sprayer when I am finished I unscrew the bottle and stick the entire sprayer in the water and turn it on and it cleans it real well.

This might help in cleaning the sprayer. Thanks, Wally Colson

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, no more mixing. October 16, 2007

By Kirwan Fox

I spray castor oil around my yard with this thing to keep the moles away, it's so much better than lugging a 5 gallon tank of diluted chemical around.
Things I like: Good quality metal sprayer, mixing head and nozzle, comfortable grip, good quality plastic payload reservoir with ounces and milliliter marks for easy measuring, sprays a jet stream of mixed fluid for 30 feet or wider area up to about 5 feet. It's fully adjustable, you can spray 1-10 tablespoons per gallon of water or 1-10 teaspoons. Spare parts are available from the manufacturer, nice to know you don't have to throw the whole thing away when an O-ring or spring breaks.
Things I don't like: Plastic adjuster dial is hard to adjust, if you set it down in which case it will certainly fall over, fluid leaks out the air vent at the top. The plastic part on the tip that gives you a choice of narrow stream or wide pattern seems rather cheap, and eventually will fall off and get lost. There's really not much spray pattern adjustment other than that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seems like an excellent sprayer September 22, 2009

By Lovin' life in Florida

I have used other sprayers of the same design, and they have worked well over long periods. The key is rinsing them out when done.

I have only used this product a couple of times, but it seems to get the job done well. It puts out 3 to 5 times the flow of spray as a typical pressurized tank sprayer so keep that in mind when you are planning your spraying job.

One suggestion would be if you are to use just a small amount of spray, then dilute the spray concentrate with water 3x and use three times the application rate. Check the instructions.

One option to rinse the unit, though you need to be sure you don't get any of the chemicals on you, is (1) remove the jar from the sprayer, (2)remove the fan spray head attachment, (3)turn on the water and let it spray in a direction that will not hurt or injure anything.
Let it suck air through the suction tube for 10-20 second and then put your finger tightly over the spray nozzle. This will force water backwards through the suction tube, rinsing it out. Be sure to wash up with soap and water afterwards to insure you don't get any of the residual spray chemicals on you.

By Capt Larry

I might as well sell my pressure washer ! This works great for washing the siding on my house. It will shoot the 30 feet that it claims and it cut the time in half to clean my house. I've bought 3 more and given them as gifts. You will not be dissapointed with this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars If You Have Trees, You Need This April 29, 2011

By TreeMan

I have a $300.00 electric rig to spray my two dozen fruit and nut trees. Since I got this sprayer I seldom use the electric sprayer. I was upset to learn that the Ortho tree sprayer was no longer available, but this sprayer is better. It works every time, it is easy to clean, and it it is built to last. It is really a quality product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a sprayer that is not a toy! August 14, 2010

By D. Steffler

Amazon Verified Purchase

It looks bigger in the picture but this little sprayer packs a big punch. As you know sprayers that shoot a stream any distance are hard to come by. My coconut trees took a beating from excessive cold this past winter. I needed to shoot copper fungicide 25-30 ft up. The Gilmour did it in stride with an accurate mix of the required dosage. Very nice quality - the neighbors won't be borrowing this.

3.0 out of 5 stars does not spray the chemical if held at certain angle June 25, 2011

By John Samadi

Amazon Verified Purchase

It sprays well if held slightly downward. However, if tilted at steeper angles toward the ground, it does not mix the chemicals and sprays water only. This became evident when I sprayed round up to kill weeds. After a few days, it was clear that only the midfield areas were properly sprayed but the edges, where I had to tilt to avoid spraying good grass, it did nothing but spraying water.

4.0 out of 5 stars Disinfectant Sprayer March 29, 2010

By HSBC

Amazon Verified Purchase

Instead of pesticides, we use the sprayer to clean our kennels with disinfectants. We leave the disinfectants in the bottles even though it says to rinse after each use. The sprayer is well built and durable. The sprayer dial is convenient to adjust the flow of the disinfectant/pesticide. Only a couple minor issues I have with the product is the opening on the reservoir is small. A funnel will probably be needed in order to not spill any disinfectant/pesticide. The other minor issue is that we use very hot water to clean our kennel. The handle of the sprayer is metal so the water heats the handle and makes it hard to hold on too. I imagine most of the time the water used will be cold so this would probably not be an issue. I would rather have a well built handle than a cheap plastic on though so if need be, gloves can be worn.
