Chapin 2553E Industrial 3-Gallon Poly General Duty Sprayer for Multi-Purpose Use, 3-Gallon (1 Sprayer/Package)

This product was unusable out of the box due to flaws in the molding, as pictured. I am unable to return and was able to modify and get it to work more or less, and it now holds pressure for a short period of time. The sprayer works okay. I went with this product and this brand hoping for higher quality and am really disappointed. I am using this for water only (as a shower on a boat) so I'm not as concerned about the issues raised by other reviewers, but I would not trust this for any hazardous chemicals of any kind, as it is impossible to get a complete seal around the hose outlet or pump handle.

Daughter is using this (with the shower head adapter) as her camp shower. The black color will absorb the suns heat and allow her to have a nice warm shower while out camping. Well made. Please note: NEVER USED FOR CHEMICALS...was thoroughly cleaned and will house water for her only.

Not a bad sprayer, but its lacking in a couple areas. First, the carry/pump handle is very weak and bends severely when I tighten/loosen the lid. I am just waiting for it to break any day now. Second, there is no pressure release valve. Even my $20 Ortho sprayer had that. Instead of being able to safely release any unused pressure, I am forced to unscrew the lid with puts more stress on the already flimsy handle and blows any liquid/chemicals up at my face when it is opened.

Started to leak under heavy use, but still not terrible for the price. Taken care of, it could last very long.

This sprayer is poorly designed and even dangerous. I had a Chapin 2.5 gallon sprayer for over 10 years. When the pump finally broke (my fault, actually), I replaced it with this one. I should have just bought a new pump for the old one. The issues: 1. 3 gallons is too heavy to carry easily, especially on uneven terrain. It must be used with a flimsy shoulder strap (see No. 2) and that is very cumbersome. 2. The pump handle does not lock securely. If one lifts the unit with the pump handle and puts even a slight counterclockwise twist on the lift, the handle will open, the tank will fall, and disaster. 3. Most dangerous of all is that there is no pressure release on the tank. When one unscrews the pump handle with pressure remaining, you get a vertical whoosh of air and whatever you are spraying, directly in your face if you are looking down. The 2.5 gallon did NOT do this. It released pressure gradually with a slight twist of the handle. Not so for the 3.0. 4. The spray wand, while lengthy, is flimsy. The entire sprayer is simply not as well made as its 2.5 gallon ancestor.

This product works really well, the hose is flexable and the construction is well made. We use it as a shower on our boat, and when the power went out at our house. We changed the end of the sprayer to get a wider spray pattern. Overall very happy with this purchase.

I bought this for my husband for an after-surfing spray down. I thought we'd need to find a better shower nozzle, but he likes it just the way it is. We also take it with us camping. Water gets warm, but we haven't experienced it getting too hot. It's been great for the whole family- and the dog when we're not near showers. The pressure isn't like a shower,, but it's great for a moderate spray down to get sand and dirt off.

The sprayer arrived DOA. The pump has a flimsy plastic housing that is supposed to stabilize the pump shaft and act as a handle support. It was already broken when I opened the box. What is really a shame is who ever called this an industrial sprayer. Do not buy one till you see it, I have bought Chapin sprayers before and can't believe the same company made this. ( Industrial it is not, flimsy it is) Dave-R

JE NE RECOMMANDE PAS 1- bague plastique de maintien de la pompe très fragile cassé dès la première utilisation. 2- pas de soupape de décompression extrêmement dangereux surtout quand il y a des produits chimique. Quand on dévisse la pompe la pression part vers le visage! NON CONFORME aux standard de sécurité!!!! 3- PRIX TRÈS ÉLEVÉ RECOMMANDATION AU FABRICANT Faites une bague plus solide pour pomper Mettez une soupape de décompression pour la sécurité! Faites un modèle plus petit pour baisser le prix à l’export! J’avais l’ancien modèle marque « Solid » impossible à retrouver!
