FaithfullPressure Sprayer Knapsack - 16 Litre Capacity Garden Spray Pump with 3 Adjustable Nozzles & Service kit

Having read some earlier reviews I was cautious re the leaking. Having used this knapsack on several occasions at 80% capacity I have to say that leaks there were none. The device came with a 'maintenance' kit including spare rubbers and different nozzles etc. I nice touch.Working - I found the pump action really easy and was able to keep a good, strong pressure right to the dregs of the liquid. I covered an area 10M x 20M which is severely overgrown and full of weeds, grass and such in about one hour with one refill. Initially the device feels heavy but them I was carrying over 14 litres of the 16 litre capacity.Comfort - I found the straps easy to fit and adjust and comfortable to wear even with such a weight on my back. I kneeled down in front of a small table where I had stood the knapsack and slid my arms in backwards. It would help to have someone assist if you are going to use the knapsack with 16 litres of liquid in. I'd recomment 8-10 litres if working alone to make getting the knapsack on easier.Build - For the price I was surprised at the build quality. Everything appears to be well made and there is a good 'feel' to this knapsack spayer. It feels sturdy and strong and I am sure I shall be using it on a regular basis. There is a filter in the input and the pump works very well indeed increasing pressure instantly.Summary - if you want to cover a large area and you don't have a Massey Ferguson or a crop sprayer then this will be a friend to you. If you have an overgrown allotment (as do I) or a large garden then you will be pleased with this product. On a further note; I didn't experience any leakage at all but if you do then as some of the other reviewers mention - probably worth having a tighten-up of the fittings.All-in-all a great product and for me worthy of five stars.

This has been great for watering new plants in remote areas of the garden. Comes with a service kit (spares) which includes a variety of spray nozzles, but nothing to explain their different applications. The standard nozzle should give anything from a fine mist to a thin jet, but through the range all I can get is a normal spray. I use this and the yellow headed one for watering, and the fan one for weedkiller. There's also a double headed one which I'm guessing could be used for covering foliage with feed/nutrients.Found it all easy to use with no leaks. Sits well balanced on my back which is good as I have a very steep garden, but agree with others that the shoulder straps could be a lot better - but for the price, I'm not complaining; an extra pair of thick gloves between the straps and shoulders does the trick.

I have toyed with cheaper sprayers in the past but they failed quickly, in other words you get what you pay for.This Faithful 16L sprayer is a well made very sturdy piece of kit.It even comes with a selection of spray heads AND spare o-rings and washers for future servicing.I got my job done in a fraction of the usual time and much less tiring.Suggestion - Chuck a couple of litres of water in and 'pressure up' for testing before use.This will expose any parts which need tightening to cut out leaks.No tools are needed I managed to get everything tightened by hand.

Pros: relatively inexpensive, sturdyCons: leaks, can’t read the graduations, poor quality straps

Used the Knapsack 16L sprayer today to spray my driveway (160sq M). From start to finish the sprayer worked flawlessly with no leaks whatsoever.I like that the sprayer comes with a service kit, so you can replace working parts\seals as and when they wear. Also included are 4 different spray heads to suit your needs. So far I am very satisfied with this piece of kit and recommend it.

I was dubious on this one due to the mixed reviews but I have to say I am not dissapointed at all! Yes, you do have to make sure the connections are tight before use but I would have done that anyway. Really easy to use and the different nozzles make it good for every type of job. Purchased for liquid lawn feeding and I have used it several times now for spraying seaweed extract. I flush it through after each use and it has not stained at all. I tend to fill up to 10ltrs as I find it easy to mange and I would say (like other reviewers) to put it on a wheelie bin and fill up, then put it on as the straps can be a bit awkward but once it's on it feels very secure. With regards to pumping I give it 8 or so pumps at the start and then I just count as I go along and every time I get to 4 I give it one pump and it keeps going without any changes to pressure.

Comfortable to carry .Sprayer works very well, pump very efficient.I like this sprayer

A little difficult to get onto one’s back initially, but once straps are adjusted, fits comfortably and is extremely effective. So much better in every way than my previous ‘pump up’ diy sprayer. Gets the job done in a quarter of the time. Highly recommended.
