This is not your average sprayer
June 27, 2010
Verified Purchase
I have bought sprayers in the past with the flimsy (plastic) wands and cheaply constructed connections. This sprayer has a metal wand, solid connections. You can tell it is made for years of use and commercial applications. I really like being able to release the pressure in the tank but just turning the little knob on top of the lid. You will love this sprayer.

Chapin Premier 1 Gallon Sprayer #21210
December 29, 2010
Verified Purchase
I found this sprayer would constantly need tightening and adjusting at the metal nozzle, and where the metal handle is attached at the wand. It was a constant battle to control leakage and waste of insecticide. Even my husband checked these seals and brass tighteners to be sure they were put together correctly. Some part of those components are too large to keep a good seal. Felt it was also not easy to control the amount of product sprayed, both in a more concentrated stream and a wider spray without constant adjustment. Just didn't want to hold position, and would quickly get out of adjustment. We will be on the hunt for a better sprayer in one of the local home improvement stores.

Looked good out of the box
December 27, 2010
Verified Purchase
I have never needed a sprayer before and wanted functional, high quality construction without unnecessary material costs or features. I have been completely satisfied with the Chapin Premier Pro which I purchased to spray Boracare on base plates. I believe the smaller one gallon size has been an advantage for maneuverability in awkward access areas. I, too, have recognized a tendency for dribbling from the nozzle but have found two tweaks to eliminate the problem. First, if a dribble starts, I pump a little more pressure in the tank. Second, I seem to achieve an optimum spray pattern with the adjustable nozzle fractionally opened. For such a well designed and solidly constructed unit, the range of spray patterns seems limited but it has been completely acceptable for my application. I should also note that the locating tabs on the fitting for the filter tube to the tank are a little difficult to hold in position while the hose nut is tightened but a snug fit is much better than a leak. Finally, there is a swivel trigger lock on the handle which is probably intended to maintain a stream during casual upright spraying. While releasing the trigger in contorted positions, I have had the lock pinch me. This is hardly worth noting but you may want to keep tender folds of skin away from the lock at the end of a spray. In summary, after several uses, I continue to feel this sprayer is the best purchase I could have made.

This is a highly effective sprayer that does not clog up and is easy to use. Very helpful was the DoMyOwnPestControl website video that explained how to utilize a sprayer while adding a pest control powder and water to it.

Chapin Sprayer Nozzle
September 12, 2010
Verified Purchase
Sprayer, wand, relief valve, handle and lid are all fantastic! However, two issues: 1) The cutoff in the handle lags, so liquid runs down the wand after you release the handle. 2) The nozzle is excellent for outdoor use, but the nozzle will not close enough to create a fan spray inside the house. The result of these two combinations, creates dribbling of residual liquid in the wand after cutoff, which in-turn pools out of the end of the nozzle. Additionally, I cannot locate a fan spray nozzle for this sprayer on this web-site.

Easy sprayer to use
July 17, 2010
Verified Purchase
This sprayer is very easy to use, since the screw top has a wide opening for the threads. This is better than cheaply made sprayers found at box stores that have leaky threads next to the pump, because the wider Chapin lid requires less torque to open. The lid on this sprayer does not leak due to the o-ring. The pump handle is good quality and made of a metal material painted black. The quality Chapin Premier brass sprayer's fittings went together smoothly. The adjustable spray pattern allows me to quickly place the product exactly where needed. This product was so easy to use, I bought one for my son to use at his new house. He loves his too, and has not seen a bug since application of the barrier around the outside!

Happy for the most part

Verry well built sprayer, Should give me years of service. Mostly for outdoor use,The tip is adjustable but sprays too much volume for indoor use. Called to check on purchasing A differant tip but there is not one. The more you turn it down the wider the spray pattern gets and tends to drip. I plan on ordering A new tip to rule out defects.

Order the fan spray tip!
June 29, 2012
I purchased this sprayer with Demand CS to control insects along the perimeter of my home. I wrongly assumed that this came with a fan tip, but it doesn't. You will need to order this and the #3-6001 Fan Spray nozzle to really use this. Wish they had recommended that so I didn't have to wait an extra week.
The sprayer is a great quality unit and once I had the fan nozzle, it worked great!

Chapin 1 gallon sprayer
January 21, 2013
Works as advertised. As another person suggested, I wrapped ALL brass threads with 3 wraps of Teflon tape, snugged them down but didn't ape-tighten them, and no leaks (there's NO need to wrap the plastic threaded bits). Well, there's a tiny bit if you use the 12" wand but that's to be expected since there's fluid inside the wand once the pressure is off. The adjusting sprayer only requires minute adjustment to affect the spray and didn't cause me issues though I can see how it being not so sensitive would help. The Teflon tape helps hold it in play and keep a good seal. I used it with 2 scoops of Cyper WP with one gallon of water and it handled it easy-peasy! Worked great for me and I'd recommend it.

Very displeased!
July 22, 2012
I had gone through several of the cheap big box store sprayers and decided I needed to get a quality sprayer. I had read several good reviews of the Chapin sprayer and decided to order one. Upon receipt, I could tell it is a much higher quality sprayer than the big box stores offer. Upon first use, the sprayer would not stop spraying when the handle was released. I thought that I may have done something wrong in the assembly of the product and double checked my assembly, it was assembled correctly. I contacted DMOPC to get some guidance as to what I can do to correct the issue. I was told that I need to contact Chapin directly. I contacted Chapin and was told that they will correct the issue I was having and sent replacement parts. About a week later I did receive parts in the mail, but I have no idea how to replace the parts to fix my new sprayer. Now I have a useless sprayer and some replacement parts that I have no idea what to do with. Poor service provided by both DMOPC and Chapin.

Spray tip nozzle trouble and missing strap
September 7, 2011
Verified Purchase
With the sprayer came a list of things that should have been inside the box. The one thing missing that was on the list but not inside the box was a strap. As for the sprayer, I have to keep adjusting the spray tip nozzle because it doesn't seem to stay at the point where I left it at.

Chapin Premier 1 Gallon Sprayer

Great sprayer for the price and like most other reviews and comments unfortunately the tip leaks drops of insecticide when one stops spraying. I hope Chapin invents a new tip specifically for spraying fine mist or fan spray without the problem of leakages.

Nozel and spray patterns
January 8, 2013
The real rating unknown to me.
But the problem seems to center a lot around the spray pattern and both it's adjustment and hold.
I spent 30 years chasing bugs professionaly. I used a "professional grade" B&G sprayer. It had a 1 piece multi tip selection of course or fine fan spray tips/openings as well as course and pin stream patterns (I paid $160.00 for my 1 gal back in '96).
Perhaps the company could at least imitate (within patent laws) these tips and charge a few dollars extra for good brass parts and a product that has both "good points and parts in its manufacture and operation as needed.

It drips, not good.
January 21, 2013
Verified Purchase
Overall it's much better than the cheap plastic sprayers, BUT the nozzle drips. It is a little flimsy but overall ok if you don't mind the liquid dripping all over the place. I am going to see if I can fit a NON drip wand to it before I go out and spend a lot of money on a true professional one. Those are the all metal ones that do not drip and put out a very fine mist. I was saying "Why can't I spray like the professionals"??? Because I need a professional sprayer that's why. I end up moppng up places on the floor it dripped.

Received defect sprayer. Called customer service, spoke with Krystal. She was very understanding with my problem, She had a replacement sprayer shipped out the same day. Customer service doesn't get any better than this. I have made previous purchases from this company, there product line is TOP QUALITY ! 5 STARS in my book !
