Device structure
Almost any model of hand tool requires the presence of certain components:
- container for solutions;
- a pump that maintains the required level of pressure inside the tank;
- nozzles for spraying liquid;
- filters that prevent the formation of blockages;
- hose and rod with or without an extension mechanism;
- safety valve for bleeding excess air.
Advantages of the device
The summer resident is asked to first verify the quality of the sprayer and study the manufacturing materials. After all, the devices are made of strong plastic with metal components - they are resistant to exposure to toxic chemicals.
Quick refueling during operation occurs through a wide opening. The hose sprays liquid over a distance of 1 to 12 meters, and the telescopic hose makes it possible to spray even tall trees and shrubs.

How does a handheld garden sprayer work?
The pump mechanism is one of the most common in gardening conditions. It is easy to use and affordable. In addition, even a person who has never dealt with such mechanisms can figure it out. The control process is intuitive:
- To begin with, a fertilizer solution is poured into the tank for disinfection, against parasites or just water.
- A pump forces air inside the tank, creating high pressure.
- Next, the sprayer is taken to the place of use and the lever is pressed.
- This action opens the nozzles, from which air is squeezed out along with the liquid.
When the air pressure in the tank decreases, it is necessary to stop work and pump it up using the internal pump.
Types of pump sprayers
There are three main types of hand tools:
- brachial;
- knapsack;
- on a trolley.
The first one is not very convenient if treatments are carried out regularly and a lot. Capacity: 3–12 liters. Special straps make it easy to carry the device from place to place, but with prolonged use it puts too much strain on the spine. Backpack mechanisms hold 12–20 liters of solution. Thick belts distribute the load on the spine and ensure quick movement of the unit around the garden. Spray area up to 50 acres without refueling or pumping air.A trolley with a sprayer is convenient as it relieves stress on the arms and spine. The wheels make it easy to move around the garden without any extra effort. This is an option for working in a greenhouse, greenhouse, vineyard or greenhouse.
