SOLO 404 2 Litre Manual Handheld Pressure Sprayer for Garden & Cleaning

SOLO 404 2 Litre Handheld Pressure Sprayer: Compact Sprayer for Garden and Cleaning

The SOLO 404 is a compact 2 litre manual pressure sprayer built for everyday spraying around the home, garden and workshop. It comes from Solo, the German sprayer brand established in 1948, and it's engineered to the same standards as their larger professional units, just in a light, one-hand size that's ideal for spot jobs where a backpack sprayer would be overkill.

Unlike a basic trigger bottle, the 404 is a pump-up pressure sprayer: a few strokes of the pump lever build the pressure inside the tank, and once it's pressurised you can spray almost the whole tank without stopping to pump again. That makes it much easier on your hand for anything more than a quick squirt. An automatic safety valve protects against excess pressure build-up.

The transparent tank has a fill-level scale so you can see exactly how much liquid and product you've got, and the adjustable nozzle twists from a fine mist to a direct jet. Thanks to chemical-resistant seals, it handles herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, fertilisers, disinfectants and household cleaners, so it's just as at home on garden pest control as it is on patio cleaning.

How to Use

• Fill the tank with your solution through the wide opening, staying under the maximum fill mark

• Screw the pump head on firmly and pump the lever to build pressure inside the tank

• Press the trigger to spray, and twist the nozzle to set a mist or a jet

• Use the trigger lock for continuous spraying over larger areas

• Re-pump if the spray weakens, and release the safety valve to bleed off pressure when you finish

Getting the Best From It

• Don't store it pressurised or in direct sun: releasing the pressure after use and keeping it out of heat helps the seals last longer

• Rinse the tank, pump and nozzle with clean water after each use, especially after herbicides, so residues don't carry over or clog the nozzle

• Keep a separate sprayer just for cleaners or weed killers, so you never accidentally spray a weed killer on plants you want to keep

• Spray in still conditions for better control and less drift

FAQs

What can I use the SOLO 404 for?
It handles garden and household spraying, including herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, liquid fertilisers, disinfectants and cleaners, as well as plain watering and misting of plants.

How does a pressure sprayer differ from a trigger bottle?
You pump the lever to pressurise the sealed tank, then spray continuously without squeezing a trigger over and over. It's far easier for larger jobs, and the 404 can spray almost a full tank on one pump-up.

Can I adjust the spray pattern?
Yes. The nozzle twists to move between a fine mist and a direct jet, depending on the task.

Is it safe against over-pressurising?
Yes. It has an automatic safety valve that releases excess pressure, and you can lift the valve to bleed off pressure when you've finished.

Can I use it for both cleaning and garden chemicals?
You can, but it's best to keep a dedicated sprayer for weed killers or cleaners separate from one used for plant care, to avoid cross-contamination.
