Chapin 1 gallon bleach and disinfectant sprayer

This is the same as the bleach sprayer. One is about 15 and the other is 20. Couldn’t see what the difference was so I called chapin. They said they are the same, one is available online in their store and the other isn’t. Both are listed on the zon, so I don’t know why they would do that. Anyway, it isn’t the greatest but it works and when it dies it is cheap to replace. I use it for spot treating things like a little lichen on the edge of a sidewalk that didn’t come out while running the SC or rinsing. You’ve been there, do a black piece of concrete and after a pass you see the junk that wasn’t visible and didn’t come up with the HW mix pre wet.

I break one every couple of months and I’m just a part timer.

The problem I’ve found with all the pump sprayers is in the trigger. The “bleach” sprayers just have viton o-rings. That does nothing for the steel spring in the trigger. You have to rinse them out after each use, no matter whether it’s a bleach sprayer or not. For small touch-ups, I prefer using a spray bottle. It’s easier to just unscrew the sprayer and pump a few squirts of water through it when you’re done. I’ve tried the Zep for bleach, Ecolab for bleach, and currently using the Harbor freight one. The issue I have with all of them is the cap breaking easily. But, at around $5-6 each, not a big deal to go through one a month or so.
