Sprayer ..... low weight

cant find this on the forums
Looking at sprayers, around 5 gallon capacity, not a back pack.
But would like to be able to reach at least 20ft vertically.
I am thinking, actually don’t know what is needed.
but got in my mind between 1gpm and 2gpm.
is this feasible?
I was looking at NT but I am lost.

Little 2.2 from NT with up to about 35-40’ of 3/8 hose will shoot that high with right tip.

Sounds like it’s same pump as this. Sure it is if you need all that other stuff. This is a great price on this pump by the way. Cheapest I’ve ever seen it. Going by and pick me up another one tomorrow. I use mine for sealing and staining but was at a friends house that does a lot of sealing but doesn’t do roofs and I cleaned his roof with his. Shot about 25’. And I’ve stained 25’ high fences with mine.

I want to spray oxalic acid but dont want to get on ladder

Was a lake front home and back yard dropped off a cliff but they wanted fence to be pretty level at top. It was crazy. As you can see it stepped down and most was about 15-16’ The last few sections got ridiculous because just past tree it dropped straight off

Wow. That’s impressive. I know they were happy with that invoice lol.

Thank goodness they were buying stain because ran about 10 gal over. Get a lot of waste shooting that high and making sure it got covered. 2 coats both sides. It was 515 linear feet of fence.

Learned my lesson about spraying in wind too. wind started to pick up off lake late in day and we were trying to finish the inside. I had checked earlier but neighbor and her father with his new white Lexus came in about then and I didn’t realize. Wind carried stain while I was shooting up towards top of fence over 100’. Cost me $600 to have 3 cars detailed to remove all the stain. It was bad. I was happy that’s all it cost me.

Fence turned out beautiful though.

I learned about the wind too. The house wash somehow traveled up wind on to the neighbors Lexus. The guy politely asked me if I did it. I said of course kinda baffled by the question. He was semi estatitic. He said I could have said I was on my side of the fence. I’m thinking to myself what type of idiot would say that. I washed it and shammy’d it and he was happy. Left my card in case he found something else later. Wind direction doesn’t necessarily matter was the lesson of the day.

I’ve picked up a lot of nice business over the years by rinsing off neighbors car if wind blowing and I’m washing. I just knock on door and tell them wind may have blown some spray over on their car and there’s nothing that will hurt it, but don’t want to leave dried soap on their car and I’m going to rinse off for them. Takes less than a minute. Give them a card. I’ve had people call me 6 months later and refer people because they thought I was nice to do that.
