Product Overview

Designed to meet the needs of professional landscape maintenance, the battery-powered backpack sprayer provides instant, constant, and adjustable pressure up to 140 PSI and a 24 ft vertical spray distance.

The sprayer tank has an optimized design for better weight distribution, a wide mouth opening for easier pouring, and a strainer that filters debris from getting into the tank. The backpack frame includes padded straps, lumbar support, and a hip belt, giving you added comfort during extended spraying applications.
