Best Backpack Sprayer? Flowzone Tornado and typhoon 2V vs chapin 24v battery powered
Today we do review and comparison of the flowzone backpack sprayers tornado and typhoon 2v vs the chapin 24v batter powered backpack sprayer.
In the end we discover the chapin 24v battery powered backpack sprayer has a runtime of 2 hours, sprays between .12 and .2 gallons per minute. Runs between 35 and 40psi and the charge time is 4 hours It does well for the casual user. It tends to be shipped without the hoses tightened down and it has several design flaws.
Best Backpack Sprayer? Flowzone Tornado and typhoon 2V vs chapin 24v battery powered
The flowzone backpack sprayer tornado
-2 hour run time
- 2 pump speeds. Low 45psi High 60psi
- fully charges in 2.5 hours
- pump is rated for 200 hours.
Does great spraying herbicide, pesticides, water and may other liquids.
The typhoon 2v is a beast. The V stands for variable pump. Which means you can choose how much water comes through the pump.
Here are the ratings
- 3.5 hour spray time
- variable pump from .12psi to 115psi (.12 gpm to 1.12gpm)
- pump life 1000 hours
- batter charges in 1 hour
There is no comparison between the Flowzone models and Chapin. Design is superior and you can repair the backpack yourself. Flowzone allows you to order any part on the backpack.
The typhoon 2v could just be the best backpack sprayer on the market. I was able to fully customize mine and put a 1-3gpm rainhead nozzle on mine and spray just like the professionals I couldn't be happier.
This backpack can altered with a boom sprayer, rainhead, fan head, cone head. You can also customize it due to the fact it has quick connects. Weather your spraying pest control, herbicide, non selective herbicides like glyphosate or roundup, or water you'll be happy.

Pest and Lawn Ginja thank you for this
What kind of grass is on that lawn
Kentucky Bluegrass
You're welcome Ralph
Could this tip replace the ortho hose end sprayer? I know the ortho does 2+ GPM but math is our friend. I'm just sick of dragging 500ft of hose around my one outside spigot house for 7k sqft yard.
I just replaced a 4 gal backpack with the flowzone 2.5 gal. Calibrated to 1/2 gal / k² ft with the correct TeeJet nozzle, using 60 psi setting. Used it today, really pleased. Can do 5 K² ft with it and much lighter than using the 4 gal pack...
That's awesome Gordon! Way to get calibrated!
Mine lasted 2 months with light use. Straps became frayed and had to get a new pump. Got mine from Greentouch Industries. Same product( Strom Sprayer), good thing was they warrantied it. Love it when it works. Hope it lasts more than my Sprayers Plus Electric. Not even a season.
Great feedback Shane! Thanks for letting us know
I just got a Strom sprayer, it's the same exact sprayer as the Tornado, but with the Typhoon wand. Absolutely love it.
That's great feedback!
Great comparison, was just getting ready to purchase a Chapin, but now I have to seriously look at the $118. Flowzone
Well worth it! 2 speeds and better straps and layout
Where do you see it for $118?
That is an awesome idea. I do a ton of round-up jobs, but I can not pull a lawn care hose from the truck across good turf to do it and a standard backpack with a standard sprayer nozzle is slow and not efficient, your 1 gallon per minute chem lawn nozzle looks perfect. Great idea.
its so fantastic for spraying liquids. can't even begin to explain how much time i've saved.
I just bought a Typhoon 3! This is an outstanding video and thank you for producing it.
Glad it was helpful!
I use my flow zone v2 for commercial pest control, I consider it my most essential tool, even over my B&G, with its low psi setting I can even use it indoors and cover my entry points, get around large buildings quickly, with out dealing with a long hose and with out straining my body during every single treatment.
The only problem I had so far was the battery showed me full power when in fact it was dead, the trick is to push the button on the battery a few time’s back to back and the second or third time it’ll show the power level indicator bars drop to the actual battery level.
great feedback! I too have had the battery indicator issues with multiple sprayers.
Strom is the same as flozone exactly. I love the sprayer and highly recommend it.
Very cool
Thanks for the review, I just order a Typhoon v2. My elbow is going to thank me for the 1.17 acres I got to spray!
You'll love it! Way better than tennis elbow
Will it blend🤣 love it used to watch those videos back in the day! Your blender reminded me. Good review!
🤣🤣🤣 same
It's impossible to use a pump sprayer while supporting a beer so I switched to a Strom electric sprayer and life is good.
Good call 👊😂
Bless you and your little son great video.
Thank you! You too!
My 4 sons battery powered sprayer would be comparable to the flowzones and worth looking at. Been using it this year, great
That name has come up a few times! I'll have to check them out
That's what I have. Can confirm long battery life and variable speed pump allows for the 4000 sq ft load out with easy calcs. Customer service is excellent.
That thumbnail was pure perfection 😁. I was thinking about getting into liquid this is some really good info. Thanks for another awesome video Ginja!
Thanks! It was such a fun project
Where did you get the quick connect to fit the blue tip? I have the cycloneb2v. Does it have enough pressure?
@@aerator12 Someone local made it up for him, but you can probably go to a big box store and find the parts to make this tip yourself. I have a side business doing roof and exterior cleaning and i make all types of stuff like that.
That Typhoon is an animal. Gun is built like a pressure washer. You could wash a car with that thing, literally. Cool video, thanks. 👍✌
Soo true!!!!
I have been building my own for 11 years. Been through a few versions, but they all have 1+ gpm pumps. Game changer for me is that they all could use lawn guns.
that's awesome. love hearing it
I think you sold me on a Flowzone Tornado. Was looking at an affordable battery powered one but wasn't liking the reviews on the low end Chapins that were in my price range. I like that the FZ is serviceable enough to be able to replace individual parts if need be.
It's a game changer Nick. Part breaks and you can fix it. simple as that. Want to upgrade the wand, you can!
Amazon doesn't have the Tornado available right now but I did feast my eyes on the Cyclone!
crazy!!!!
I purchased the Cyclone 2.5. Typhoon was difficult to source. But I think the Cyclone will be a good fit for my residential needs (liquid herbicide for weed control). I have a Stihl gas powered fogger for shrub and tree plantings.
What kind of tip do you like for spot spraying vs blanket spraying a whole area ?
I’ve seen A LOT of your videos and I think this is the most excited I’ve ever seen you 😂
I've been trying to solve this problem, using a rain head sprayer nozzle on a backpack sprayer. I just haven't come across a backpack that would put out enough psi! So stoked
Another one DJ Khalid! I’m in lawn university. Deep star ⭐️ six. I want to sleep in my lawn now. Thank you. I need a real economical sprayer.
LOL ahhh yeah! Sounds like you're slayin the lawn game!
Very exciting demo. Good products are hard to find. So much easier to make the purchase if you see it I. Action and your endorsement is solid 👍🏻
Thanks! It was fun and challenging
I'm looking at these for a very unique reason. To rinse cars. I want to start a vehicle detailing business but I don't want to leave water spots at all. Without having to buy a tank and what not since right now I don't have the room for It. I really like the 2V. That's more pressure then a water hose, that would be perfect for rinsing off water pretty fast. I'm tempted lol
great question...... it does provide a unique spray that ranges from a mist all the way to a squirt gat. it's basically a pressure washer for your back that sprays 1gpm.
I've been using my Flowzone Typhoon for months, love that stupid thing! The issue I had to contend with was the trigger assembly getting debris in it and it wouldn't stop dripping. (Mine was a hand me down at work, god knows what the hell the previous owner used it for. Probably used it for sand blasting...)
Great feedback. I get that from any sprayer I use. The plastic wands don't always get all the crud out and the buildup kills it. sucks. #lawncarenutproblems
We have to be total lawn nerds to get off on backpack sprayers but who cares I love it. Ginja Jr has a great dad to learn from. I'm sold. Been eyeing and eyeing and looking and looking online for a backpack sprayer and this one sounds like it. Totally sold. Now to on to justifying in my mind to buy the thing. While I am no pro but I want it. Toys for lawn geeks. LOL Honestly, this lawn thing is really fun. It's certainly a challenge. I find myself talking to my lawn? Ok now there you go, you have everything you need, just grow. I'm not going crazy am I. LOL
I've been using it now for a week. It's still pretty cool. I can spray so fast. Makes me happy.
AS always NEVER Disappoints the GINGA , brings the GOOD info right straight to everyone1 🎯👍
Thanks chapo! I do what I can!
Dude, FlowZone better be giving you a nice nugget for this video. It's practically a commercial. Thanks for a good look into those sprayers.
LOL NOPE! they haven't even offered ;) . but really i don't like to be tied down to sponsorships.
Pest and Lawn Ginja, well that's a bit of a bummer. Anyone with a brain can see that they've moved inventory because of your video. Even a simple thank you would be nice.
@@jaygonzalez3555 I've gotten a thank you. To prove value for most companies is tough. they just don't get it.
@@pestandlawnginja How are you liking it up to now?
I've been just fine with a manual pump hand can, but these days I'm wanting the consistency of a battery-powered sprayer.
Figures I bought a new Chapin two days ago. :-(. Thanks for the video
You'll do well with the chapin! Just watch my latest review
I bought the Chapin two weeks ago. Thought I was keeping up with the Ginga's. Haha
It's still a great sprayer if you treat it right! be sure to watch my updated chapin sprayer video
Fantastic review... so helpful. Just ordered the Typhoon!
Glad it was helpful! I love these sprayers still
This is the first video of yours that I have watched . Great review on these sprayers. You saved me! I had the Chapin sprayer in my cart on Amazon but I did find tHe Typhoon for a better price than on Amazon.
Awesome! Thank you! Even the cheap options that flowzone provides are a much better choice than the chapin
I own a flowzone and love it. I heard they are made in the same factory as the stroms. At half the price. Granted they have their 100psi ones in the $200+ price range.
Few comments on that. I dont know the answer.
Awesome information! Thanks once again Ginja! You're the best!!
Thanks elaine! This was fun
Flowzone Cyclone is money, to bad it didn't make the video. Love mine have run gallons of N-Ext products through it. Upgraded the nozzle and been applying with no issues at all. Great video my man!
It is a great sprayer from what I've heard!
The Cyclone and the Tornado share the same pump, the only really difference is the wands.
@@lambert1702 at face value looks to be true, but I like the gun so much better then a wand.
@@79mini The wand is cool, just saying the pumps are the same. For anyone using mostly teejet nozzles to spray turf, the Tornado is a good deal because it already has 11/16 threads and will take teejet nozzles and quick connect fittings.
Men cool I have been having problems with my chapin sprayer Noooo more pumping the thing I was going to buy a 24 V but chapin so l was looking around I found Ryobi 4 gallons battery operator I have used it for two days amazing!!! has a really interesting frame it’s super ergonomic And also I have probably 12 different tools from Ryobi So I have extra batteries and dude that these people guarantee products for five years is Great I haven’t have any single problem with any of those tools so hopefully this sprayer works good I own a small landscaping business we use it to spray weed killer and do crab grass control so we’ll see how it goes...thank you for the video
Very cool. Great to hear. You'll have to let me know how well it works out in the future
Pest and Lawn Ginja Hey man I will no matter what is better that it what I used to have so will see
Lawn Ginja, I did it. I just bought the Typhoon 2v - 2 model. I have the Chapin, but concerned about it's longevity and I am using the backpack sprayer a whole lot now. I really dig Flowzone's quick disconnect features, which like you say is a game changer. Hopefully, I can use my collection of various nozzles I use with my pressure washer with this unit. One of the main feature of your review that really made me decide to go the Flowzone is being able to use those pro nozzles (purchased the Blue and Yellow). Also, I like that all parts can be replaced by the owner. Unfortunately, Flowzone was out of the T-Jet adapters, which are on back order. I will have to rig up something. These backpack sprayers are hard to find these days and Flowzone says they won't receive any for at least around 5 weeks because of the Covid 19 and that can even change quickly. If anyone is looking for them and having a hard time finding them let me know. I've found a couple online suppliers.
Nice feedback! That stinks they're on back order makes sense given the situation. Thanks for letting us know
I just got my first backpack sprayer it is a Ryobi. Anxious to use it again, but I probably will not get to because it was so effective in getting the job done the first time. I also used Roundup 365 on my weeds in my driveway and there is absolutely nothing growing in my Gravel Drive
nice!!!! I'm sure you''ll find some use for it.
I have the Ryobi 4 gallon variable frequency drive sprayer. 18v....it’s awesome! I have used Chapin, Monsanto. Solo, etc... I have done this for years and Ryobi is my choice...great price too.
Right on, glad you found something that works well for you
Just received the Typhoon V today. This is a game changer!!!!!
So awesome! It's pretty amazing for the price
Ginger, I was blown away. Thank you for all you have done. I salute you!!!
You're welcome! That's great news!
Love this review. Gave me ideas for my Jeep build. That pump,is awesome. Now I just have to find the right spray nozzle
I love it!
Another awesome video and great info, I will definitely have to get the new sprayer, that’s a game changer for DIY’s thanks again for all the great help and explaining the tools of the trade, AWSOME
I was shocked to find out I could do 1 gallon per minute. Its pretty awesome
Now that would be a battle royal in a water gun fight
he had a blast!
That’s awesome!!! Thank you for sharing Ginja!! Your channel really helps me!!
You're welcome Paul! Thanks for binging out
Yes have fun with the family
yes! that was soo much fun
Funny, I ask the clerks in the store about which products sell and not get returned but the result is a puzzled look from them.
😂😂😂😂 happens to the best of us
WOW quality packs indeed , quality video quality calibration quality quality quality . here hereb . Where is that bell thingies I cant miss anymore of your videos . too much to learn to little time . WOW the typhoon is " Really really really ridiculously good-looking” .
LOL love the quote Erf!!! Glad to have you around
Heck yea, just came across this lesco tip, googled youtube, brought me to you..cant wait to build it and use it..got a strom over here..
Awesome! It works soo well. My suggestion is to avoid any fiberous materials such as sea kelp and humates if they haven't been filtered and refined. It clogs up the nozzel. Fantastic for liquid fertilizer, iron, herbicides etc..
@@pestandlawnginja ok thanks for the heads up..my current liquid line that i use is the "hydra smart" brand..response from it is outstanding, and most importantly doesnt stain..reach out to them and give it a review..
@@b1gdave514 sounds enticing for sure. I'll have to give them a good look
I bought the flow zone typhoon last spring. It definitely a solid machine as you say.
My problem is knowing whether or not I am getting the proper amount of herbicide down.
I'm really looking forward to your future videos.
Great feedback! It's all about knowing how to calibrate. I'll be sure to do a good video on sprayer calibration
czcams.com/video/98Yy6J6h7GM/video.html&t=1012 I've been binging the Ginga's videos and used this one to calibrate mine. I find I still overspray because of inexperience between my pace and the overlap.
I use the same video, agree with the pace and overlap, plus I tend to hit areas a little too long. One thing that's helped me is to use some herbicides at 75% strength (particularly tenacity), it usually takes a 2nd app anyways and this way the grass doesn't turn white.
I've used other sprayers but the flow zone is almost a low psi pressure washer.
I loved it when spot spraying but need help in the blanket spraying. Looking forward to the lesson.
The rainhead nozzle is a game changer in the lawn spraying arena. It will allow me to show you guys proper technique
Great video(s)!! They have helped me out a lot.
If you ever get a chance, please do a comparison between this Flowzone Typhoon 2v and the Milwaukee sprayer. They look similar with adjustable PSI. The Milwaukee is a little more expensive but cost of ownership may be less because you can switch the tanks but use the same pump. Plus I already own a bunch of Milwaukee tools and batteries. 😉
I've had a few requests like this one. I may just bite the bullet. You guys are killing me on expenses hahaha
@@pestandlawnginja ill buy it used off you when yer done.
An excellent video, thank you. My Chaplin died after a year, which is a great shame as I really enjoyed working with it. The design is seriously, seriously flawed. I am actually surprised that such a poor design could make it to market.
Thanks for your feedback. its a great sprayer. lots of good options out there to upgrade from the chapin
Nice but I gotta go with the Chapin. It uses Black and Decker batteries, and I have a lot of B&D tools and batteries already so. $99 at Walmart...wish I could get it tool-only without the battery so it could be even cheaper! oh and lack of a back pad and strap issues both are easily fixed for cheap.
I'm a new subscriber from Texas. You make quality videos.
Super kind! Really appreciate it
LOVE this channel! He has good content and doesn't take 30 minutes to cover 10 minutes of information, and he keeps it entertaining to watch as well. All the things I value in a CZcams channel!
@@Troy-Echo 🤘😁
I’ve been watching a lot of your videos on lawn repair (I bet my lawn would be in your top 10 of worst yards) and I have decided to tackle my lawn repairs myself. I’ve been researching a backpack sprayer and I’m proud to say I just ordered a Flowzone sprayer this morning based off of several reviews and your video of this product. Looking forward to getting my hands on it, should have next week! First up today, a soil test and general assessment of my lawn. I have a huge spot where a tree was removed two summers ago, so I need a plan there. Keep up the great work!
Sounds like you're right on track to slaying your lawn! It's fun. You'll do great! You'll love the flowzone. It saves so much time. I made a calibration video. Just make sure you always calibrate.
Pest and Lawn Ginja, I watched that last night too, I measured my lawn today 5500 sq.ft. Of grass so I have a ton to fix...but it will be worth it. I will be doing some before/after pics
can't wait to see them
And wetness is the essence of beauty...
Yes it is!
Okay. I’m convinced. V2 it is. Thanks, Ginja!
It's pretty awesome!
Pest and Lawn Ginja I decided to get the less expensive version but it should still be better than my Chapin pump handle backpack! 🤮
It's pretty cool. Even the cheaper version had two pressure settings.
Thanks for a great video !
I am sold on the typhoon 2v !!!!
It's a fantastic product! Still very pleased
Hi, I am simply not sure any of the 'pressure washer' nozzles can give you a wide enough angle to spray efficiently. This is why there is TeeJet. There is a video of guy converting this to TeeJet nozzles. Then you will have all the flexibility you need. GPM, angle, droplet size, drift control, endless options.
It's all subjective really. For this reason I enjoy the adjustable cone nozzles. I do agree there are several nozzles that can be retro fit that work very well
Looks top notch. Wish I'd had seen this video b4 ordering the sprayers plus backpack
thank you! its a great sprayer. I'm sure you'll be happy with sprayers plus too
How often should lawns be mowed ? To what height ? Is it better to bag, or mulch ? Thanks, love the channel !
Great question. The answer is it all depends on your lawn goals. If you want to keep it short, below 2" I suggest mowing 2 to 3x per week. If you want to stay at 3" or above I recommend every 5 days. If you mow frequently mulching is recommended. If you're taking more than .25" off the top I recommend bagging.
Excellent, thanks.
I noticed immediately, new camera! Waaaaay better Ginja!
Hahaha there are a few of you with a keen eye! Love it!
you should put a 16-18 inch extension on that so you do not get the product splash on your legs and more on the ground....love the flow products thats all i use....
I'm just used to this style when I spray professionally.
Thanks for your vid. I bought the new 2.5 typhoon and I like it so much I'm buying another. If you use a surfactant or drift inhibitor it will shoot a stream pretty far out. You might want to add a link for the 2.5 version.
I just released the video on the 2.5. its an amazing sprayer
I have never seen someone so excited about a backpack sprayer. LoL
Sometimes you gotta be excited 😂😂😂
The typhoon uses the same wand and nozzles as a quality pressure washer! Thats nuts! But Good Nuts!
It totally does and you can buy as many as the pressure washer nozzles as you want from the local store because the attachment ending is the same fit. It's a cool little unit.
Good video, Ginja!
Thanks Dale
13:44 is awesome!!
He was soo excited. Love that kid
Those flow zones are JUNK, just sit them out on the curb and I'll swing by and pick them up! Great review!
😂😂😂😂😂 comment of the day!
I had to read sdw comment twice!!!!! NAILED IT!!!
I gotta watch this one a couple times. Great info! The 2v hose and nozzles look like regular pressure washer nozzles. But I wonder if the orifice is bigger to accommodate a thicker fluid.
I think you're right. I think they are just regular old pressure washer nozzles. It will accommodate thicker fluids. just remember to rinse the tank out after use.
pretty cool with the rain nozzle but man it would suck to have to refill every 4k. skid sprayer for pro work plz.
Totally agree. Right machine for the job
Damn ... ! I Too Was On My Way To Purchase A Chapin ... Flo Ho Here I Come !
You'll be glad you did!
What about hand pump back sprayer for the home guys that only used there sprayer a couple times a year that don't want to add on another battery system?
I prefer the matabi
Thanks for an unbiased review. Looks like Flowzone also has the Cyclone 2V at a much lower cost than the Typhoon 2V, $245 @ Amazon vs $500 for the Typhoon. It's lesser power but still enough for me since I have a 100psi, 20gal Fimco when I need it and wondering if the Cyclone has the same quality as the Typhoon 2V.
I've had less issues with my cyclone in a commercial setting. However the typhoon's get used far more often. they push out the liquids faster and time is money
Awesome review! I think I am going with the tornado.
They're great little machines! So far I'm very pleased. The tornado is cheap too
I wish you were in my area! I would hire you immediately, you have a great personality!!!
Wow, thank you!
Careful Ginja! I think you have a stalker! :-p (J/K)
@@Troy-Echo Thanks for sharing your creepy perspective!!!
@@carlstoutamire9525 ROFL....really laughing here! Nothing creepy intended, just joking around. :0)
Which nozzle is the best for foliar apps and which is better for soil that will fit my tornado? Or can I use the two nozzles it comes with and if so, which one for each app?
any nozzle works great for foliar herbicide apps. Its all about the calibration. If you can get 1 gpm out of the tornado my blue rainbird nozzle is awesome. If not I would focus on using the cone sprayer.
I'm a pressure washing guy I do soft washing roofs. My question is with I be able to connect my J Rod tips to the Flowzone sprayer? And does it work with Bleach
I've seen a few guys hookup rods and extentions to the unit. it can handle it. as for the bleach you're better off calling them direct. it's something I've never tried!
Well I did a thing... I ordered the Flowzone Typhoon 2V! It was a bit pricey and I literally stared at my screen for 2 hours thinking about it. My fiancee is going to be mad when she sees it, and will ask how much I spent on it... I'll say it was on sale for only $50 dear. I used your link so hopefully it supports you! :) It's hard for me to spend that much, but I look at it this way --- if it brings you happiness/fun then buy it.. you don't work every day to look at a bank account grow and it's not like I'm buying drugs. Now if I've never put down liquid fertilizer before, is it pretty safe if I stick to a low amount? I understand doing the measurements of a product based on square footage of my lawn, but I do not really understand how you're suppose to know how much water to use? If my lawn is ~5,100 sq ft, do I mix it with 3 gallons, 4 gallons etc.?
I mix a minimum 1 gallon of water per 1000 sq ft. 2 gallons if you wanted to be super safe. it's a great product.
I need a sprayer to water my garden, or some other alternative because my garden is not near a water source. Any ideas? How would a sprayer work for watering a garden?
Flowzone! Cool!
It was a blast
Awesome video. kids included
Thank you 🤗 They had a ton of fun
A backpack sprayer with a built in agitator for applying diluted granules like 'Fahrenheit' would be awesome! Instead of killing my energy by swishing my pump sprayer around to dilute my granules, can I use a 'mixer on my drill' to dilute the granules in a 5 gallon pail before pouring the diluted solution into my sprayer to minimize mixing while spraying? IF SO, then I can add some soap for surfactant after it's poured into the pumper and swished again to mix the liquid soap.
totally agree. I've used the motabi systems for a while, they have a build in paddle agitator. I've heard rumors a few electric systems are hearing the feedback and implementing in the next round of sprayers.
If you're going to mix everything in a bucket, which I highly recommend. I would mix everything in the bucket. the surfactants, pre emergent, herbicides etc.. great idea
@@pestandlawnginja Awesome, thanks.
How wide of a spray should you do on the flowzone with your blue attachment form left to right. With you hand when spraying
I commonly do 6ft
For spreading herbicide, wouldn't you want finer droplets for the plant leaves to absorb quicker? I can see the bigger droplets are good for spreading fertilizer that is meant for the soil anyways.
Great observation. It all depends on the spray rate. I'm only spraying at 1gal per minute per 1000ft2. There is truth that a finer mist would be ideal to stick better to the leaf. At the rate I'm spraying it still works great. On our professional trucks I spray at 2 gallons per minute per 1000ft2 with a similar nozzle.
Looks like a great sprayer! That spray head you put on reminds me of a Seinfeld video "I don't sell dat one, it's for the circus, for elephants" lol
😂😂😂 love it!
Sup brother good video keep it going
Thanks Ricky bobby!
"This thing just feels good in your hand" As you're pulling the sheath back from the tip....I swear you do it on purpose lol
No comment 😂😂😂😂
Or “you’re only as good as your pump”. No truer words...
@@randygreen007 😂😂😂
Hey pest and lawn Ginja do you over lap to your foot step when you are spraying liquid fert with weed killer ?
yes, first step off the wet edge is 4 ft and the steps after are 6ft
Awesome video. I’m looking for a sprayer to have for roundup. I guess the Tornado would be my best bet? I have also used Chapin in the past but it broke so easily.
I've had really good luck with both of these units. so far no issues. the battery life is decent
Another good option to consider is the sprayer by My4Sons.
love the suggestion!
Looks like a nice sprayer but one question - Will it blend??
LMAO
My wife would kill me if I used our Blendtec pitcher outside. Lol
sssshhhhh don't tell on me hahaha
Great review bro!
Thanks Steven!
What about my4sons.... I just picked up this sprayer and it's the cats a$$ baby
👊😂
Do you like My4Sons? I hear they are great machine too ...but now I am in quandary about this typhoon too... shed not big enough for tons of stuff unless I put on addition???? Hmmm.
Great content. I love how excited you are lol. I'm still looking for a budget friendly way to put liquid on my 29,000 sqft. I'm thinking a tow behind sprayer, probably Northern Tool. Thoughts?
Great way to do it. To maximize your dollar sprays are the way!
Haha! Super sprayer.
Hig volume time saver!
Huge time saver! That's why I'm so excited
@@pestandlawnginja Amen to that. My Families "Kessler Tool Rule #1" applies...
"Tools are FREE, all you have to do is use them" Haha
Love that saying!
Great video, thanks for sharing the information. I'm learning a lot from your videos. Have you had any trouble with the flowzone, if yes what was some of the problems? If you was using tenacity in the fall which spray head would you use the rain head or Teejet? Thanks
launched an updated video on their new product the typhoon 2.5 and listed some issues with the older models.
For me that special nozzle you made would be good for when I am applying those products that, as you said, needs to get to the soil level, like insecticides or those N-Ext products. Does this company make the nozzle for the general public or is just a local thing?
The nozzle I have was made my gnc, lesco misled them too with the blue head. Link in the description
Why have that custom nozzle right on the end of the pistol and not on a quick-connect wand with like a 45-degree bend right at the end of it? Seems like you’d spray yourself more with the pistol?
@@TrippKnightly Have you ever seen those lawn companies spray lawns (True Green etc.)? If so, it's the same concept. They spray side to side fairly quickly and it would be more work/difficult to do that if the nozzle is at the end of a 24" or longer wand.
Nice I can finally sit in bed, open the window and spray my 2 acres from bed.
Very nice!
I am looking at a Murayama electric but that Flowzone looks awesome!
No dealer has one here though....
That's one I haven't tried! The flowzone typhoon 2v is soo cool!
Where are you in the country? We have a large distribution arm. Email me and I can help you find a reseller hkflowzone@gmail.com
Hello - Thx for the great Video - I have pump sprayers now and I pump with my right hand and hold the wand with my left - I noticed on the Typhoon the hose comes out of the right side - In your opinion is there enough hose length to go around the back of the unit and spray with the wand in my left hand? - I can't find any specs on how long the spray hose is - Thx
I've done that and for me there was enough room. you can also get your own hose and modify it worst case scenario.
@@pestandlawnginja Thank you for the update
