BUGSPRAY SKY-HY NO PUMP 1.75 – 3G – 5G HIGH AIR PRESSURE SPRAYER 40 FOOT REACH

BUGSPRAY “NO PUMP” DESIGN WITH 5 NOZZLES AND 3 POWER INJECTING NEEDLE TUBES:   The Bugspray Sky-Hy is the most versatile and powerful in our line. It relies on the same pressure system as our No Pump so it’s super reliable and easy to use. From ground level, you can reach “up” 30+ feet while standing.

The included 12 foot long hose allows you to add another 10+ feet of spray height by positioning yourself on a ladder or platform like a deck. The 12 feet of hose enables you to leave the tank on the ground making it easy to use a ladder while spraying.

**  ALSO AVAILABLE WITH 25 FEET OF HOSE FOR REACHING UP OVER 50 FEET – SCROLL DOWN PAST THE SPRAYER PACKAGES TO FIND THE SEPARATE SPRAYER OFFERS  **

DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHTS:  The 3 gallon weighs just 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.

HOW DOES IT WORK:  This sprayer is part of the Bugspray NO PUMP series of sprayers that enable the user to pressurize a tank and then spray their mixture without having to rely on batteries, pumps or any moving parts. We currently have 3 models that employ this same technology. The small, surgical like tool known as the POWER INJECTOR along with the NO PUMP and ULTRA LIGHT NO PUMP.

All of these sprayers include a super light but amazingly strong tank that can hold water, chemical and up to 100 psi of air. The top of these tanks uses a clamp that seals from inside so it can never leak.

The top has 3 “ports”. One is for filling it with air, one is for the sprayer hose to connect and the third is a release valve that also serves as a safety valve in case the tank is over pressurized.

Using any electric air pump (the kind you would use the fill tires on your car), you can safely pressurize the tank up to 90 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 before it starts to release.

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

 

SKY-HY NOZZLES AND STEEL NEEDLE INJECTORS

The Spray Kit includes the 5 sprayer nozzles pictured above.

The most common one used is the red 0° nozzle. Pictured below is the red nozzle spraying outwards nearly 35 feet. The Ruler is out 25 feet and the sprayer is reaching nearly 10 feet past it.

The rest of the nozzles will have wider swaths based on width of the hole

The Yellow nozzle has a 15° swath.

The Green nozzle has a 25° swath.

The White nozzle has a 40° swath.

The Black Nozzle is for “dousing” plants like a shower so no outward reach, only downward. Well suited for treated ground cover and mulch so you don’t need to worry about splashback.

These next 4 pictures show the swath of each nozzle. Remember, the wider the swath, the less total height or reach the sprayer can deliver (Red will reach the furthest). That said, even the White nozzle will spray over 20 feet out so you can effectively use these nozzles to treat large wide areas like home siding, tree trunks or mulch.

All but the Black nozzle are marked so they’re easy to identify. For reaching out or up, the Red is the preferred nozzle. For home siding, the Green or White. Yellow is well suited for tree trunks.

 

STEEL NEEDLE INJECTORS

The 4 included Needle Injectors are used for Power Injecting. Much like the Smaller Bugspray Power Injector, the Sky-Hy can Power Inject. That said, the Sky Hy offers huge advantages for large jobs where you need more mixture to flow into large voids. And the flow packs more psi too.

Overall, the Sky Hy will Power Inject up to 5x faster compared to the small system. And with the larger tanks, you won’t need to refill quite as often. This allows you to get through large jobs (like vinyl siding) in a lot less time.

All models can hold 15 to over 65+ times as much of your mixture compared to the Power Injector. So if you have a need to be injecting a large areas, the Sky-Hy will help.

 

ALLOWS YOU PLACE THE TANK ON THE GROUND WHILE YOU WALK UP TO 12-25 FEET ON EITHER SIDE (depending on the hose option).

The included 12 Foot Hose allows the applicator to move about freely without having to carry the tank. This will save time and effort allowing the user to be very mobile without the weight of the filled tank in tow. The 25 foot option allows over 50 feet of range (25 feet on either side of the stationary tank).

 

ALLOWS YOU TO LEAVE THE TANK ON THE GROUND AND CLIMB A LADDER WITH JUST THE SPRAYER IN HAND

The 12 feet of hose will allow the user to safely climb a 10 foot ladder which effectively adds 10 feet of height to your reach. using a 20 foot ladder with the 25 foot hose will add over 20 feet of height so you can spray over 50 feet up!

 

ADD UP TO 90″ OF EXTRA HEIGHT TO THE STOCK SPRAYER USING THE 6 PIECE STEEL LANCE EXTENSION RODS

These steel rods are 15″ long each. You’ll need at least two mounted but add the mid sections as needed. One of the rods has a quick connect at the end so any of the Steel Injection Needles or Spray Nozzles can be added in seconds. This extension alone can add nearly 10 feet of height to the stock system and some users enjoy having the long rod so they can pin point their treatments without having to climb a ladder. In the picture below, Jay is using all 6 extensions and the red spray nozzle to reach above the small section of gutter instead of climbing the ladder as seen above.

And when fitted with any of the Needle Injectors, you can spray just as far as the Red Tipped nozzle but with less volume. The steel needle injectors are especially helpful for Power Injection behind gutters, home siding and even direct treatments into insect nests including bald faces hornets, fire ants and more.

 

HOW TO USE THE SKY-HY NO PUMP SPRAYER

1) For normal “spraying” of turf, gutters and home siding, 50-60 psi should be enough for you to empty the tank assuming you add no more than 2/3’s of the tanks capacity with water. So for the 3 gallon tank, add 1 to 1.5 gallons of water so when filled with 75-80 psi, it will empty with just one tankful of air and still have plenty of power.

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 30+ feet or higher targets, pressurize the sprayer to 90 psi and again, mix up only what you plan on using. When standing on the ground, the Sky-Hy will reach up over 30 feet. If you need more height, now you can safely climb a 5-10 foot step ladder while leaving the tank on the ground by using the included 12 foot long hose. You can also get every model with twice as much hose enabling the sprayer to reach up over 50 feet (to reach this height you will need a 20 foot tall ladder or some other way to elevate yourself above the tank by 20 feet).

3) When the mixture “runs” out, empty the air pressure inside the tank by holding the valve open OR using the pull ring on the safety relief valve mounted on the center lid. 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 what’s 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 Air will only fit over the “in pole” on the sprayer’s topside. Just match the color dot on the Air valve with the dot on the tank.

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. And look to match the colored dots; the dot on the brown hose will match the dot on the tank (which will be the “out” barb).

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.

In summary, the Sky-Hy sprayer is well suited for anyone who would like to use a sprayer without having to continuously “pump” as they work. Its also great for anyone needing reach 30 feet up but has no need for a battery operated professional back pack sprayer that typically costs $800+. And with the included S/S Injector Needles, the Sky-Hy can super charge your Power Injecting needs. This will allow you to treat large areas super fast compared to our POWER INJECTOR.

SKY-HY STEEL LANCE 90″ EXTENSION (SIX 15″ RODS THAT CONNECT BY HAND. THE BASE SNAPS INTO THE SPRAYER’S QUICK CONNECT AND THE TOP PIECE ACCEPTS ALL NOZZLES AND STEEL INJECTOR NEEDLES

The rod to the far right connects to the sprayers quick connect. You can then connect the rod to the far left. It threads on and can be secured with nothing more than your hand – no wrench needed. You can then connect any of the spray nozzles or injector needles. The 4 rods pictured in the middle can be added in between the other two rods. Each rod is 15″ so in total, you can add 90″ of extra height to the sprayer. And it’s design allows you to reach up 90″ higher for more specific treatments and to power inject.
