I didn't have any problems using a solo diaphram pump if it was cleaned out well (don't forget the screen at the sprayer tip
(the screens are cheap enough to have a few on hand).
With surround, I found the best results after 3+ applications (used crockers as a spreader sticker). After one application
and several heavy dews, it usually needed a re-application.

I've never run into any problems with either the piston or diaphragm style and surround. Premix and then add to the sprayer keep agitated and rinse well. Add fresh water pour out add fresh water pump with nozzle removed until clear. Rinse nozzle.  Good to go for as long as they typically last

I have just bought some Surround to protect my late cuke planting.  Anyone with good or bad experience with the Solo backpack sprayer with Surround?  I don’t want to mess up my expensive sprayer, so need to know whether Surround will clog or wear it please?  I can go buy a cheaper 1 gallon sprayer for the Surround if necessary.  Thank you.
