"My first backpack sprayer, after probably two dozen of the hand held variety. It works well and gives a consistent spray pattern. It is easy to use and makes quick work of the task."

SP2 sprayer,
October 17, 2008
"I cut grass as a side job, and I must say this sprayer is so much better than any of those one or two gallon pump sprayers I have ever used. It saves you time, both due to the 4 gallon capacity and due to the sprayer output patterns and volume of spray. You get a brass nozzle that adjusts from a cone pattern to a stream. And you get two plastic nozzles that spray a wide fan pattern. This sprayer is heavy duty, it can take a beating if "I" didn't break it yet... and it does not leak. I follow the instructions about rinsing it after use, and putting a light oil on the gaskets.
All this being said, it is a rugged sprayer. However, the reason this sprayer did not receive a perfect 5 star rating is because it is NOT perfect. The clamps that secure the shoulder straps are made improperly, and constantly pop off the sprayer when you try to pick it up or take it off. Not a good thing when you are carrying the weight of a 10 lb sprayer plus 33 lbs of water. I have contacted SP Systems about this known issue, and they offered to SELL me another set of the exact same clamps. Obviously, they have no plans yet to offer improved clamps on this model. I will eventually have to go to a hardware store and buy something to rig this up better, because the straps coming off is really a pain and wastes time when I have many yards to spray. And the whole purpose of owning this thing is that it supposed to save time. Time is money in this business. But don't let this deter you from buying this model, I would buy another, just expect to be on your own when it comes to fixing the strap clamps' shortcomings....."

"This sprayer works perfectly. It is comfortable to wear and takes only a few pumps of the pressure handle to create great pressure for spraying. I have used products in this sprayer that would often clog other sprayers, but with the SP2 I've had no problems with clogging."
