I plan to use this unit to spray trees with fungicide. How far will this unit spray vertically?

Haven't used it for 8 months so memory is shaky. Don't think it would do 30 feet, but 20-25 is very much possible. By the way, I love this unit.

Depends on the spray pattern. Just like a garden hose a narrow stream will reach further than a fine cone.

Must be a big hedge for 5 gallons. I mix only one gallon at a time in a small (1.5 gallon) sprayer, 4 quarts of diesel and 2 quart of herbicide. Mostly applying to the trunk of small trees, but this mixture also effectively took out a few privet hedges along a clearing. It works slow but is deadly. Good Luck, be careful with over spray and drifting MIKE

It will work on ceilings; make sure you position the intake tube toward the rear of the sprayer.

It works fine on vertical surfaces. The snow and ice slide off my satellite dish and my snow plow blade. I don't know where you intend to apply it on the wood. I doubt it would prevent accumulation on horizontal planes. The snow would just pile up.

no, it will not. The spray nozzle is adjustable, but not enough to reach that far. Rough guess would be 2-3 feet, with little to no pressure, just enough to reach that far. This sprayer is excellent for spraying fine mist (pest control) over a small area.

My experience would say no. You will not reach 12' if you are going straight up. This may spray 12' or more along a more horizontal plane using elevation to obtain maximum distance. However if you point upwards around 80% my estimate would be more like 8' with a bleach type liquid. You might get 10' if you really pump it up and there is no wind present to deflect the stream.

Yes, vertically plan on about 24 inches in a 1/4 inch pipe. Horizontally, it will probably make it about 10 or 20 ft. Don't plan on a lot of flow or pressure though. The pump actually sits in the water, so you will need a small section of flexible tubing to hook it up. There is no float switch so you need to keep an eye on it so it doesn't run dry. It might work for a rain barrel pump, but I haven't used it that way yet.

I set the sensor at number "7" and it sprayed approximately 32 feet. The distance depends on whether or not your terrain is level and if you have it pointed up or down. My terrain is level and I have my unit as level as possible.

I guess it depends on how small your yard is. I've got a large yard, but am using this sprinkler to water only a 25x50 foot rectangular seedbed. With the sprinkler in the middle of this area, I've got it adjusted so the spray distance varies from about 13 to 25 feet. I think it could service an even smaller area if I turned down the water flow.If your yard is smaller, and is not very irregular in shape, you might want to use a small oscillating sprinkler. Keep in mind that impulse sprayers, like this Gilmour, are designed to shoot water fairly long distances because they aim in one direction at a time. The oscillating sprinklers provide more even coverage for smaller areas. I guess it depends on how small your yard is.

Sprayer is effective to about five feet. It's not meant for trees or tall shrubs.

I was running it on my work bench vertically. No problem. Be aware if you are using it for a duct fan that its on the loud side because it moves a lot of air. But for the money it is a good unit.

I have a 400ft stockade fence to spray. At first I was too close. Moved back say3ft. Pattern depends on what material your spraying and how high you pump it up. I was spraying oil based THOMPSON WOOD PROTECTOR.Both sides of the fence were coated (6ft high) in less than 3 hrs. Used larger 1 GPS nozzle. Years ago it took a contractor 10 plus hrs to do the same with a stain sprayer. So glad I bought this sprayer

I use a 650ml spray bottle. I add 1 tablespoon of the fruit tree spray and fill with water. My peach tree still got infected with worms in the peaches and my Apple tree still got rust spots (fungus). I switched to stronger fungicide and insecticides. Unless you're really against non-organic I don't recommend this anymore....

Not really - My barrel is about 8" above the ground and when the barrel is partially full, or even full, the pressure is adequate to fill watering cans or water nearby plants but not to actually "spray" very far as you would with an outdoor faucet. This unit works great for its intended purpose - to water our plants with "free" untreated water.

Yes, I spray fruit trees probably up 10-12 feet. The spray does get dispersed at greater heights, but still gets there. Hope this helps.

It would take at least a pint to get it up to spray nozzle . It has a 25 foot hose. Use the smaller hand held Wagner for your furniture. I painted half my house with the small one.
