BUGSPRAY NO PUMP 1.75G, 2.5G, 3G and 5G HIGH AIR PRESSURE SPRAYER W/30 FOOT REACH

BUGSPRAY “NO PUMP” SPRAYER DETAILS:   This very unique sprayer is simple yet very good, easy to use and one of our “favs” for applying insecticides to your homes exterior and landscape (its too powerful for use inside). Ideally suited for spraying “up” 30-35 feet, it has no moving parts other than the valve you hold for spraying and the adjustable nozzle. Safe for use with most all pesticides including but not limited to insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and fertilizers.

DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHTS:  The 3 gallon weighs 6 lbs empty, stands 17″ tall and is 8″ wide. The 5 gallon is the same width, 8″, stands 25″ high and weighs 9 lbs empty. Water weighs about 8 lbs a gallon so the small unit is about 14-15 lbs when filled and has the hose/valve connected. The larger model with 2.5 gallons of water will weigh about 30 lbs with the hose/valve connected.

NO PUMP SPRAYER SHORT SUMMARY VIDEO

HOW DOES IT WORK:  This sprayer is essentially a tank that can hold water, chemical and up to 130 psi of air. The top lid has a clamp and rubber gasket that seats on the “inside” of the sprayer so as you fill it with air, the seal will naturally remain in place, nice and tight.

The top has 3 “ports” (pic below). The port to the far left is used to fill the tank with air. Using any electric air pump (the kind you would use the fill tires on your car), you can safely pressurize this sprayer up to 80 psi. The tank is rated for up to 130 lbs but the relief valve will only allow you to fill it to 90-95 psi rage before it starts to release. This happens to insure the tank is not over inflated.

The center is the “lid” which simply clamps on/off so no “screwing” of a pump or collar is needed to open/close the top. Simply unclamp it the lid, add water and chemical and then clamp the lid back on.

The lid has a relief valve mounted to it which serves two purposes. First, if you are filling the sprayer with too much air, the relief valve will release the air once you get over 80-90 psi. The tank is built to handle up to 130 lb but we do not recommend going over 80 psi. For our tests, 80 psi will provide enough of a “charge” so you can spray up over 25 feet AND still have enough pressure to empty the tank of its mixture assuming you use 1.5 or less gallons of mixed solution. Now given most people are 5 feet tall and can stretch their arms, reaching 30+ feet is usually possible from the ground and on a ladder? Even higher.

The connection port on the far right is for the quick connector that attaches to the 20 foot coiled hose and spray valve. This quick connector easily snaps off/on making sprayer maintenance and storage a breeze.

HOW TO USE THE NO PUMP SPRAYER:  Watch the video above first and then refer to this section for any details that were unclear.

1) For normal use around the home, 50-60 psi should be enough for you empty the tank assuming you add no more than 1/2 of the tanks capacity with water. So for the 3 gallon tank, add 1 to 1.5 gallons of water so when filled with 75-8- psi, it will empty with just one tankful of air. For the 5 gallon system, you can add up to 2.5 gallons of water and still empty it with one tankful of air. Of course, you can add more water to either but in general, this means you’ll need to add more air to empty it.

2) For reaching 35+ feet or higher targets, pressurize the sprayer to 80 psi and again, mix up only what you plan on using. Use a 5-10 foot step ladder to add the extra “reach”. One charge of 80 psi is enough to get the entire mixture to spray out so you don’t have to be concerned about constantly recharging.

3) When the mixture “runs” out, empty the air pressure inside the tank by holding the valve open OR using the relief valve mounted on the center lid by pulling on the circle ring. You’ll “hear” the air release within a few seconds. Once the air it all released, you can “unclamp” the lid and either refill or clean the tank and hose for safe storage.

4) To clean the system for storage, we recommend adding 32-64 oz of water, swirling it around in the open tank (no lid on) and then dumping out the mixture alongside the home. Do this twice. Now add 32-64 more oz of water to the sprayer and pressurize it so you can then pump out whats inside through the hose assembly. This will in turn purge the hose, get the tank mostly empty as well as the hose and valve so it can be safely stored. When storing DO NOT lock the lid back on. Leave the lid off so the tank can air out and dry.

5) The “white” quick connect ball valve has the air valve attached and should be fitted over the “in pole” on the sprayer’s topside. Use an electronic pump with a gauge for accurate measurement of how much pressure is in the tank. This ball valve should be removed after the tank is pressurized to insure it doesn’t get damaged when using the sprayer around the yard.

6) The hose/sprayer valve has a dark brown ball valve that fits on the “out” side of the tank. Ball valves can safely swivel without leaking air or mixtures. Just be sure to “drain” them when not in use as detailed above.

7) These systems come with a full 1 year warranty; not intended for corrosive materials like acid, vinegar, bleach or anything with a PH lower than 6. Same with anything with a high alkaline value like Liquid Lime. Using corrosive mixtures will void the warranty; that said, all moving parts like ball valves, air intakes, lid gaskets and sprayer components are replaceable.

QUICK SETUP VIDEO

In summary, this sprayer is well suited for anyone who would like to use a sprayer without having to continuously “pump” pressure into the tank. Its also great for anyone needing spray up high but has no need for a battery operated professional back pack sprayer that typically costs $800+.

** WE DO NOT RECOMMEND USING MORE THAN 80 PSI EVEN THOUGH THE TANK IS RATED TO HANDLE UP TO 130 PSI **

Remember, this sprayer is really helpful for when you need to spray up “high”, like 35 feet or more and/or if you are needing to treat remote locations where you can’t drag a garden hose.

Now if you have strong water pressure AND a really long hose, our 6 GALLON HOSE END SPRAYER can use the power of your water spigot to spray up onto the siding of any home and is well suited for many applications. But you will need strong water pressure and a long hose to get the job done.

Conversely, our “NO PUMP” sprayer is entirely portable, durable and very easy to set up and use. For sure it costs more but compared to the commercial battery operated back pack sprayers commercial applicators use, this one costs half as much and is well suited for any homeowner or business person needing to periodic treatments.

BE SURE TO RELEASE AIR PRESSURE IN YOUR PUMP’S HOSE AS WELL AS THE SCHRADER VALVE QUICK CONNECT!

When using any type of electric air pump, it’s important to power it off/on to release any “stored” readings. Be sure to clear the hose too. If the memory on any digital pump – especially the small rechargeable units commonly used on car tires – believes measures air pressure in the hose, it will fail to pressurize your tank to the desired PSI and fall short because it was storing the old value. Some pumps may clear this value and adjust automatically but we have encountered many that do not which in turn “appears” to be a tank that is not fully pressurizing.

** WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME USING YOUR NO PUMP SPRAYER SYSTEM **

You must also release the stored air in the Schrader valve. This is simple to do and the following video shows how to proceed:
