Chapin International G6015 Wet/Dry Hose-End Sprayer, Translucent

This little gem is just what I needed to wash my truck. I tried one of the expensive foamer vehicle wash nozzles. What a hot mess it turned out to be. It was expensive, it leaked horribly and I got as wet as the truck. No happy. I saw this while shopping for something else that would work. This seemed unlikely since it’s main use is for chemical spray but I read that the contents could be wet or dry. I don’t use any chemicals but this thing is great for what I need. I put in 4 ounces of McGuires Gold Class Car wash, turned the setting on liquid and full fan. It gave me a nice fan spray of soap that I could then use my Mr Clean Magic Eraser w/ Dawn and scrub the black acid rain off of my silver truck. It has a off lever so after scrubbing I turned it back on for more soapy water. After I was finished washing I attached my fireman’s hose nozzle and blasted away the black soap. Then I waxed the truck with McGuires liquid fast wax. I love this handy dandy tool. I will be using it to wash my vinyl siding as well. 👍

This thing SUCKS! Hands down the worst product I've ever used. If I could give it zero stars, I would. No matter what you do, or how tight you get the connection, it ALWAYS leaks from the OTHER side of the plastic. What a stupid design! Not only that, nematodes clog it up constantly to the point where I could barely do 200 sq ft without stopping and unclogging it at least 20 times. I ended up smashing it into the ground, I lost my patience with this hunk of junk. Do not buy this.

This works GREAT. Purchased it to fill with outdoor bleach for house siding. Yep, this thing reaches the second-story! Some pressure washers don't even make it to the top floor!No leaks! If it's leaking a) you didn't screw it on right, b) filling it with improper DRY junk will mess it up (READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, LOL)The dial for the amount of concentrate is SO cool - I was able to layer a thick portion of bleach on the siding with the 6oz/Gallon adjustment.Great product - yes, you can get quality made things for $13, believe it.

The sprayer is easy to use. The settings are easy to set for a variety of options. It doesn't leak. The seals are tight. It sprays good. I would buy it again, BUT they put a stupid paper circular (I suppose some kind of directions) INSIDE of the filter that is attached to this sprayer and I didn't find it until the second use. Had it been inside of the jar one would have easily seen it, BUT inside the filter that was inside the jar............??? A little nutty.

Great sprayer takes all the guess work out of measuring mixture. Makes spraying my fruit trees a breeze. Simple pour chemicals into holder, set mixture rate and spray your plants, trees etc.

UPDATE: save your money and just don’t buy. After using it as described below (in my earlier review) to attempt to fertilize my parents’ garden, all setting have been rendered useless. It no longer mixes the concentrate with the water output. The evidence is twofold: one, the output water is not blue hued from the fertilizer, and two, the reservoir isn’t emptying. Now before you discount me as a disgruntled person who “must be doing something wrong” or “doesn’t know what he’s doing”… I do. I do my research and investigate and get to the bottom of things. Each ratio on the dial mixes through a different output, but as I used the product and one output would “die” I would just move up to the next ratio until it died and so on. I tried cleaning it and running water through, etc etc followed directions and all that. Just save your money and fertilize by hand. Or tell me which product you use instead of this one because I’m returning it!EARLIER REVIEW:OK folks. Here’s the tea: the sprayer is going to perform slightly underwhelmingly and the reservoir is most definitely going to leak horribly and pop off if you use it in the dry fertilizer function. HERES WHY: there is a design flaw with the amount of water being put into the reservoir versus the amount being put out of the end nozzle - but only when you use the granular fertilizer function. In granular function, there is siGniFiCAnTLy more water being put into the reservoir than is being put out the end, causing the reservoir to fill, build pressure, overflow and leak your chemicals horribly, and eventually dislodge fully. I tried every way I could to make it work, adjusted all the settings, and eventually decided just to make up a super concentrate of granular fertilizer in water and just use the liquid function instead. MORE BAD: overall, the different nozzle settings function adequately, but the “shower“ function is underwhelming and uneven, projecting more toward the outside corners and lacking centrally. The jet function could probably strip paint off of a car and I’m not sure the purpose of it being that strong unless there is some sort of distance fertilizing competition. The other functions seem fine. I assume mix ratios are within a certain margin of error. THE GOOD: I was expecting it’s to not mix well, but it seemed to do a decent enough job given that I don’t have a way to measure it’s precision of mix ratio. I will assume it’s at least close because none of my plants are fried and it eventually used up everything in the tank. It’s comfortable and seems well-built structurally, but I’m quite disappointed in the granular function I mentioned above, as well as the shower function of the nozzle. Would I recommend? Eh. Read the above and set your expectations accordingly.

It’s great to have a sprayer that works as simple as this whether using dry fertilizer or wet applications. To be able to adjust the amount that you need and not have to worry about whether you have it right is awesome. It’s comfortable to hold and sprays well and has the ability of adjusting to spray upward under the leaves of your plants or downward or to fan out. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

I was really excited to use this for applying fertilizer in my vegetable garden. Unfortunately the sprayer is not consistent. I can tell that no fertilizer is coming through as the water coming out is clear (the fertilizer is brown so when it’s working the water is tan) I have tried thinning the fertilizer with water and adjusting settings but it it only works about 20% of the time. I also used it to apply some round up outside of my garden and none of the weeds died which makes me think it was not properly extracting the concentrate then either and that concentrate was very thin. I’m not sure if I got a defective sprayer or if this is just a poorly designed product. Either way, I’m disappointed.
