We have used a Solo backpack sprayer with diaphragm pump for several
years for spraying Dipel DF (Bt) and it has worked very well. We
occasionally need to clean the filtering screen in the nozzle and
have replaced a washer or two but otherwise no problems. Parts are
very easy and quick to obtain from Gemplers in our region (southern
WI). My main complaint is that the pumping is pretty tiring. We
spray about once a week, mid June through mid September, 2-4 hours
each session, and 2-4 hours of pumping is hard on my elbow. This
year we have invested in a Shurflo electric sprayer but we have not
had any experience using it yet.
