Rocky Mountain Goods Hose Sprayer - 16oz Bottle - Small 7.5" x 7.5" Size - for Spraying Fertilizer, Soap, Pesticide, Chemical, Insecticide - Dilution Adjuster - Nozzle Angle Guide for Trees/Garden

This 2024 summer, for whatever reason, there's an infestation of webworm in this southeastern coast of Texas. Thousands of caterpillars would devour our tree leaves. Not only does it make the tree unsightly, there are literally 30 caterpillar crawling up and down our patio and along our exterior sidewalls. Caterpillars don't bite of course, but they eat and produce lots of droppings. For a while it feels like my patio smelled like a farm with dry straw and hays (guess caterpillars eat the leaves and their droppings make it feel that way) After reading many pos/neg reviews, still decided to buy this Rocky Mountain Goods sprayer. IT WORKS ! Simply hook it up to a hose and it'll spray. i'll demystify a few negative comments: 1. The bottle did come w/ metric measurements and imperial units directly marked on the bottle. On the bottle, there's clear marking for each of the dials 1- 10 settings that corresponds to the equivalent ml/liter (metric) and oz/gallon (imperial) concentration For even more diluted applications (teaspoon instead of tablespoon), there's a little copper piece that you can unscrew from the top of the bottle, screw onto the nozzle tubing inside the bottle, and that allows low level vs. full level adjustment. Again, this is clearly marked on the bottle. I think there's a user submitted video on this amazon product page that shows exactly this. 2. Yes it does leak the pesticide. BUT, only if you tilt the bottle. For me , I had to aim the spray to as high as possible to top of the tree branches, so I had to tilt the bottle upwards, rather than flat (aiming straight, bottle perpendicular to the ground). Tilting it at an angle does allow the product in the bottle to back flow out. However, I think this is expected. If you hold it upright, no risk of leaking. 3. I'd say with decent water pressure 60psi, the spray will spray in a fan-out pattern, probably as distant as 6-8 feet. I didn't not true tampering with the piece at the tip of the sprayer, it appears that it can be removed, but I did not try. 4. I've had it for 6 wks, used about 4 times. It feels like the product will hold up well. The sprayer itself is made of copper it seems, and feels sturdy. I expect it'll last for a little while. Overall very happy with my purchase.

These are great multipurpose sprayers. I spray a variety of products through it. Fertilizers, pesticides, and even use it spray soap on my vehicle to wash, spray bleach to clean vinyl siding on houses.

Waste of money. I even thought to myself when shopping: "This time I'm going to spend the extra money and buy something that will last me YEARS." NOPE. I should have just bought the cheap Chinese plastic sprayer for half the price. At least then I wouldn't be buying cheap products AND wasting my time... And water. I sprayed HALF MY YARD before I realized none of the chemicals were even going up the suction hose. I found it only works if you turn the dilution dial ALL THE WAY UP. But then the chems dump out in a matter of a couple minutes. So THERE I also wasted about $5 worth of expensive pesticide concentrate. Just buy a new PLASTIC one every season. At least then you will know you are actually getting the job done.

Good: Sturdy (but see below). Mix control is easy to use and effective; using Simple Green I went from pure water to threaten-to-bury-the-car soapsuds with a twist of the knob. Simple control twists to direct spray as needed. Soap / whatever capacity good, lasted for more than an hour of car / siding washing. Bad: Limited to a single fan spray that's off-center no matter how you twist the control; takes some getting used to. Spray range isn't as good as I'd expected, cannot reach upstairs windows that my regular sprayer hits without difficulty. Might be even more useful without that fan diverter, which I tried to remove but gave up for fear of breaking it. Ugly: Sprung a leak near the mix control as I was turning the water off. Doesn't seem to be a loose nut or such; will have to peel back the sticker on the control and inspect. Bottom line: It's probably better than the cheap generic sprayers elsewhere on Amazon, but didn't impress me enough to justify its relatively high price. Four stars; will revise if that leak turns out to be a defect.

This works well, attaching it to my hose to put dog deodorizer over our rocks in the backyard

I purchased this device to spray my trees with insecticide. The unit works but the height of the spray is directly related to your available water pressure. Although my hose has very good water pressure, this device did nothing to aid in spraying trees. It probably works well up to say 10 ft. Beyond that you need some mechanical device to provide required pressure. I believe it will be useful in spraying bushes and ground areas. But this will not handle the trees as shown in the video.

Great product!!

Very useful...easy to use

I ordered this for my husband to use in our large garden. He was tired of inferior ones that broke easily. This one is strongly made and should outlast the lesser quality spray guns/nozzles he has used before for fertilisers and pest spraying. He is very happy. They are not cheap though as we are in Australia- this one worked out to about A$72 with P and H added etc but the quality is there. Hope it lasts now.

Couldn’t get this to work, tried all the recommend fixes on YouTube, etc but it just wouldn’t draw up the liquid. Also keep in mind it doesn’t come with the standard UK fitting so you’ll have to get that separate.

I use this to spray liquid fertiliser. The ready to use packs of fertiliser that you connect a hose to are very hit and miss. Sometimes they empty quickly and sometimes take forever. So the concentration of fertiliser is too much or too little. With this sprayer you can dial in the strength according to the recommendations of the fertiliser manufacturer (requires a bit of maths for ratios. I use setting 2 for full strength Seasol or similar). TIP; Buy the fertiliser in the bigger packs as it is cheaper and more concentrated.

Useless doesn’t pull liquid from tank - also American fitment which does not come with the unit - so useless all around - returned to amazon.

Easy to use
