Nota para mejora del producto
Creo hay un error de diseño, la palanca de bombeo esta del lado izquierdo y la manguera de salida esta situada tambien del lado izquierdo... la mejora que le haria seria (cualquiera de las tres dejarian que la bomba en general tanga un mejor uso por parte del usuario):1. Colocar la manguera de polverizacion del lado drecho2. La manguera del lado izquierdo debe estar ruteada para que no estorbe al momento de usarla y que sea mas larga...3. O simplemente colocarla del lado derecho.Ya trabaje con el producto y me parecio muy buen desempeño.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Product!
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2023
Pattern Name: SprayerVerified Purchase
I recently purchased the Chapin 61500 Backpack Sprayer, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. This backpack sprayer has exceeded all of my expectations and has made my gardening and lawn care tasks a breeze.

First and foremost, the build quality is top-notch. It feels sturdy and durable, which gives me confidence that it will last for a long time. The padded shoulder straps and backrest make it comfortable to wear, even during extended use, which is a huge plus.

The 4-gallon capacity is perfect for covering a large area without constant refilling. It's also easy to fill and clean, thanks to the wide mouth opening. The adjustable spray nozzle allows me to customize the spray pattern to suit different tasks, from fine misting for delicate plants to a more concentrated stream for tougher weeds.

One of the standout features for me is the consistent and even spray distribution. It doesn't clog or sputter, ensuring that the application is uniform, which is essential for effective pest control and fertilization. The pressure control system is easy to use, and I appreciate the pressure relief valve for safety.

Overall, the Chapin 61500 Backpack Sprayer has made my gardening and landscaping tasks more efficient and enjoyable. It's a high-quality product that delivers on its promises, and I would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and effective sprayer. It's a fantastic investment for maintaining a beautiful and healthy outdoor space.

5.0 out of 5 stars An unimaginable relief to have this
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2015
Pattern Name: SprayerVerified Purchase
I haven't actually used it yet, but I will within the next few weeks. I did assemble it, and having only used hand-held, top-pump sprayers before, this thing is a god-send; I will upload pictures on the updated review, so you can see it in more detail than what is provided on the Amazon site. But here's what I can tell you: THIS IS VERY, VERY WELL CONSTRUCTED. The pump action is very natural, and is a smooth rotation on the parts, instead of a harsh up-down impact action. The wand itself is extremely well manufactured, with a hose that I can't envision every kinking, wearing, becoming brittle, or otherwise breaking. The shoulder straps ARE padded, as advertised, and at least while it is empty, sit comfortably on my shoulders once adjusted - and there is a strap that goes around your waist/stomach to hold the tank in place while you pump. Adjusting the shoulder and waist straps is incredibly easy.

So far the only issues I see that I'm going to have with it are: 1) it's going to be very heavy with 4 gallons in it, and therefore difficult to get from the ground to my back - I imagine I will have to have it on some surface (table, counter, etc) in order to get it on; and 2) the base which the unit sits upright on is going to gouge in to my back, very uncomfortably so. I am 6 feet tall exactly, and rather lanky; the bottom of the base, which has a ridge around it, sits on the bottom of my lumbar back an inch or two above my hips, and digs right in to the skin/muscles there. So, I'm going to have to either A) put some padding on it, B) put some padding on my back (I'm thinking my ribbed elastic back brace will work well for this purpose, which I might want to wear anyway), or C) both A and B. If you are 5'9" or shorter, I imagine there would be no digging in to the back, as it would sit comfortably on your butt.

But given that using a 2-gallon hand-held sprayer caused my back to go out for 3 days every time I used it (and it took two fill ups to get my whole yard), I can only imagine that with this, I will actually be able to spray my entire yard and my back will be fine when I'm done. An unbelievable relief, as I have significant back problems (and a family that I like to spend time with, instead of laid up in bed). Once I use it, I will update this review and post some pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thompson's WaterSeal - A perfect sprayer
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2017
Pattern Name: SprayerVerified Purchase
I bought this to seal my fence using Thompson's WaterSeal. Before I start, I understand that Thompson's WaterSeal is a hot button topic on the Internet amongst people looking to protect their outdoor woodwork. I appreciate those opinions, but, for my purposes, I decided on Thompson's for my project, and if you have as well, this sprayer is nearly ideal. Thompson's recommends brushing, rolling, or spraying- but it is not recommended to use a high dollar paint sprayer. These pump-style chemical sprayers are the most-used option for spraying. I ran 20 gallons of Thompson's through this sprayer using the included fan tip, and it surpassed my expectations in ease of use and quick coverage. I sealed nearly 400 feet of 6-foot privacy fence, both sides, in about three hours. That was doing a thorough job, making sure to get all sides of the cross members and posts. I refilled the sprayer about six times as I didn't quite put in the capacity four gallons each time. As far as the spraying goes, this unit worked wonders. It does give your pump arm a bit of a workout, but I didn't find it excessively strenuous.

Thompson's is a solvent based product, which concerned me as to how it might degrade the rubber o-rings, seals, and other components. I did spend nearly an hour after I sprayed cleaning the unit. I ran a gallon of clean mineral spirits through the sprayer making sure to slosh it around in the tank to dissolve all the residue. I followed that up with warm, soapy water run through the sprayer, at least one gallon. I then disassembled the sprayer and pump (it's relatively easy to disassemble and reassemble, and instructions are included) and washed all components in warm, soapy water, followed by a rinse. After reassembly I ran a good two gallons of clean water through the sprayer to get the remaining soap out. That brought my total project time up to four hours - a time bargain!

Yes, the clean-up was time-consuming, but I was using the sprayer for a non-sanctioned purpose, and afterwards the sprayer is good as new. I look forward to using it again when that time comes, which, as Thompson's critics know, will be before I know it! ;)

Reviewed in Australia on May 30, 2021
Pattern Name: SprayerVerified Purchase
I found the Chapin backpack sprayer comfortable to wear, even when filled to capacity. It's wide neck makes it easy to add liquids. Pump action is smooth and there were no leaks. Great price point and, for some of my applications, more suitable than a battery operated pack as you can better focus the spary and have less drift.
