    Can anyone tell me if they use Chloros in a knapsack sprayer?

    Does the sprayer handle Chloros or does it cause problems with seals? I'd be talking about diluted Chloros, not neat.

    Anyone any experience with this?

    Most such seals would be polymers and not (NBR) Natural Rubber. Couldn't see a problem. I presume you mean to use and then wash the sprayer.

    Cooper Pegler use viton seals which are resistant to sodium hyperchlorite.

    The only thing I'd keep an eye on on a CP sprayer with the diaphragm pump is the diaphragm which can split with wear.

    Was it out straight away. Some of them sprayers have washers or bolts inside the tank. The chloros will corrode these exposed steel bits and you will end out with lots of particles floating around the tank and blocking up the lance and boom
