The Hozelock Knapsack Sprayer is a lightweight, fully adjustable shoulder strap or a replacement stand strap designed specifically for the hand-held pressure sprayer (spitters not included.) It is an excellent tool for working on smaller-than-normal projects including flowerbeds, fence posts, and shrubs without the use of a garden hose. It is an economical solution that is just as effective as a larger sprayer.
The Hozelock Knapsack offers hose compatibility with many other hose designs and is great for working on larger landscape projects like backyards. hose adapters are available to attach to most landscape tools and there is no need to purchase the full sized sprayer to attach the hose. The hose and adapter can be disassembled and stored in a convenient toolbox for easy access. A telescoping pole carrying case is also available.
Large landscape tools like chain saws and edgers often have a hitch attached to the nozzle. While using these larger tools, it is difficult to secure the hose and keep it where you need it. With the Hozelock Knapsack, the nozzle can be secured so the user can easily carry it and spray while standing up. The sprayer and the hopper are mounted on a sturdy stand so they will stay put and not move when used.
Many users prefer the streamlined design of the Hozelock Knapsack. Compared to some other brands and options, this is a remarkable advantage. Users are able to quickly adjust the length of the hose for spraying different landscape applications and plants. There are less hassle, less mess and less damage to landscaping tools when using the smaller Hozelock nozzle. These compact landscape tools are perfect for people who are always on the go or those with very limited floor space. Hozelocks are extremely easy to assemble and store and are available in a number of different configurations.
A Hozelock Knapsack Sprayer is made for attaching directly to the nozzle of a garden hose. Once the hose is attached, the user merely pumps the attached water supply through the hose and into the hopper. This is a much simpler process than trying to manually pump the water through the attached nozzle. In addition to being easier, this method is also more environmentally friendly because there is no longer a need to use a garden hose to reach the far end of the Hozelock.
Hozelock sprayers are available in three types of attachment fittings: magnetic, spring and retractable. One of these fittings is designed to work with all types of hose assemblies including metal, plastic and even braided hoses. All three of these attachment fittings will fit any conventional garden hose and will also work with water systems that attach to an in-line water heater. The spring-type hopper has an adjustable trigger and a detachable spray head. The final type, the retractable sprayer, will not require any further assembly and works with all sizes of hose assemblies.
Hozelock sprayers are not only ideal for applying fertilizer and pesticides, but can also be used to apply insecticides, fungicides and other chemicals. These attachments for garden hose are also available in the market in different configurations to suit both commercial and residential applications. These devices, which have been specifically designed to spray plants and other soil materials, work by spraying the water through a water hose and into a hopper where it is stored until needed. To ensure the best coverage of the targeted area when spraying, it is important to attach the sprayer with the appropriate nozzles that will go through the soil with the water.
The hopper itself can be assembled with ease by following instructions that come along with the device or by hiring a professional landscaper to do it. The hose assembly can then be attached to the hopper and the trigger can be set at a comfortable height for the user. However, some models may require assembly that may take more time than usual. Once all parts have been fitted and the hopper has been assembled, it can be used for months without the risk of water clogging or other complications.
