    Hoping to get some advise on a Knapsack Sprayer.
    I have 3 cheap enough 5 litre sprayers (Aldi and Woodies brand). They are a a couple of years old now and have lost their ability to spray (single jet of water spraying out of them instead so not much use).

    I have 3 seperate ones - 1.weed killer, 2.blight spraying (Dithane stuff) and 3.fertiliser/Miracle Grow.

    I dont like the idea of washing the sprayers out and using one that hand roundup in it for fertiliser which is why i have 3 :)

    However the professional/semi professional Knapsacks (Hardi, Stihl etc) come in at over €120 depending on the size so getting 3 would not really be an option :)

    What is the usual course of action in this case?

    The Hardi ones look the part I have to say:

    Have you tried cleaning or replacing the spray heads?

    Solo (German) are excellent professional Knapsack Sprayers and are more expensive!
