Jeff, Good metal
tanks, you described as “compound curing sprayers”, can include specifications for
interior lining. Hudson sprayers,
in the professional line, are lined with epoxy, stainless steel, or tanks are
of high-density polyethylene. Great parts
availability and good customer support direct!! The actually sell the parts to
fix their sprayers! (Sustainable tools?) One of the most convenient of all sprayers
is the Swiss made Birchmeier. They have a backpack with removable 2.5 G Plastic
jugs several products can share the sprayer with a rapid cleanout using a jug
of water to flush. Tea to oil to soap, a water rinse and Beauveria can be
applied. No cross contamination of products sharing the same jug. Handy
pressure regulator and the ability to use TeeJet nozzles with flow control make
it an estate/sustainable garden workhorse. Parts take a bit of creativity to
find and I just make sure I know which hardware store has the best selection of
“O” rings. Still not the best for the mechanically disadvantaged, but I managed.
I have done foliar spraying with straight tea in it. All filters are removed
and the tea is strained by a tea bag from my brewer. For soil drenching, a venturi fertilizer
injector works well but with higher volumes of water than may be appropriate in
non-desert climates. Tom Jaszewski www.livesoil.com 702-595-7012 -----Original
Message----- Thanks,
Steve, for finding that address. Again,
I have to caution against using metal tanks as some of the metal can end up in
the teas. So, we need to find out if these are lined with something that
won't leach out into tea. Or, replace the metal tank with a plastic one.
I will try and email the good folks at Rittenhouse and see what they have to
say. Or, anyone on the list has such a sprayer..... Cheers, Jeff
