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.
