COMFORTABLE ERGONOMIC HANDLE: With wide mouth makes this bottle easily fill in water and arthritis-friendly easy grip handle make continuous spraying less straining. An adjustable shoulder strap has been included to aid you in carrying the weight of the tank around your garden and allowing you to have two hands free. Versatility and mobility are two words that come to mind when I think of garden sprayers – you heard me mention in the intro how I prefer a garden sprayer over an electric sprayer:
they are versatile because they are able to help you distribute water, fertiliser, fungicides, pesticides, wood preservers, stains, teak oil, and paint, onto the parts of the garden that need them most with minimal waste. I even used my garden sprayer to seal in the tiles in my bathroom I just renovated – you could easily do the same with a patio sealer and brush for ease too.

This is a good quality garden sprayer, made in Germany and has Viton seals, ensuring a leak free gardening experience.
This garden sprayer’s dimensions are 19 x 19 x 50 cm and it weighs 1.5 Kg. There is a shoulder strap included to help handle the weight.Connected to the tank by a 1300mm hose is the plastic watering lance that measures 560mm, giving you a decent amount of reach for getting at those hard to water spots. The wand is adjustable and will give you either a jet, wide spray or a fine mist. The jet isn’t super powerful but for weed killer, specifically pet friendly weed killer, it is superb and holds a decent spray for ages, just take a look: SAFETY VALVE: After exceeding the safe pressure range, the safe valve will be automatically discouraged to prevent burst. As mentioned, the pump handle is large and heavy duty, and also smooth in operation. About 20 pumps is enough to give you very good spraying pressure for a fair while and there’s an integrated pressure release nozzle for safety. A nice feature is that this garden sprayer has a separate filling space so you don’t need to unscrew the pump handle. The tank is translucent and is graduated to help with the correct levels. An integrated dosing cap also helps with getting your mixes right.
Instructions are printed on the tank, and a holder for the hose and wand are also part of the design, as well as a shoulder harness. Garden Sprayer 5 litre Pressure Sprayer Pump Action by Ansio – super annoyingly the pump seal is less tight than the seal with the pressure pot so I started filling the wrong void 😀

There’s a problem with this though. Look at the picture and you see all the other components are plastic 🤔. You know that tells me the only purpose is to reduce leaks. You can’t connect a high quality brass to a cheaper plastic fitting and call the product higher quality surely? There’s definitely some contradiction going on there – please feel free to message in if there’s any logic behind that (@manufacturer).

A 2 litre garden sprayer is a good size for lighter gardening tasks such as spraying the underside of leaves or for use indoors. Their smaller size and weight means that they can be used in one hand and can be stored under the sink or anywhere else for that matter. This compact sprayer from Ansio does everything the larger models do. You can still use it to water, fertilize, spray pesticides, and fungicides. It still works on a pressure system that you need to pump up before use, and it still has an adjustable spray nozzle and pressure release valve, just like the others. As you can see it doesn’t take much getting used to and very easy to use – but remember not to spray weeds with a mist too fine in windy conditions as a herbicide in the lungs is not good! So always aim on the cautious side, and with Creocote I don’t care how rough it looks, I let it spurt out – there’s no way I am ingesting those fumes again. I felt really rough even though I wore a mask. So now I let it squirt out and run. No problem with that. I do not set the nozzle fine:
