How many gallons per minute will this thing spray?

I don't really know, but I'm guessing I get about 5 minutes of spraying out of a tank so it's probably about .2 gallons per minute (but don't quote me on that...)

this sprayer takes about 15 to 20 min to use on gallon. this unit has a fine spray to a steady stream if you like. Using the fine spray... 15 to 20 min... steady stream 5 to 10 min. to use one gallon.

I really have not timed usage. With a full tank, it has lasted 4-5 sprayings There seems to be plenty. I have not changed the batteries yet after 8 to 10 sprayings.

You do not get a lot of spray per minute. I can spray all the weeds on my 4000 sq. ft. lot in less than and hr. 4 tanks full. It holds1 1/4 gallons you get about 12 gal spray per set of batteries

It takes me 10 minutes or more to use the entire jug one time. I've never tested it by just spraying it constantly, so it is not very fast at all.

add 2 fl oz per gallon of water for each 500 sq feet. when using a tank sprayer

I suppose it depends on how long your air pump hose is. I'd say it sprays around 3 feet. It's not that much water, anyhow. -- Personally, I use a battery powered air pump, so you just click it on, and step away. 5 seconds of it pumping, psssht, off it goes. Fun toy. Mental note: Avoid trees. It will get caught and may never come down.

If I knew the square feet that you were going to spray that gallon of water onto I could give you a precise answer but here is a best guess. 1.3 - 5.3 oz in a gallon will give you a spray solution in the range of what I would expect you should use in doing a high volume foliar or spot spray treatment.I hope this helps. Thanks for considering doing your purchase through AgCare Direct.

Looking at the other answers - I agree that it will empty a 50 gal tank in 5 minutes. Doing the arithmetic - that sounds like 600 gallons in an hour.Thus my estimate is from 400 to 600 gallons per hour. It is solidly built with the pump housing in cast iron, but I only run it for a short time. It needs a pressure switch and pressure tank to let it cycle on and off in some applications. It is designed as a transfer pump to boost irrigation systems. I hope this helps.

It's all about CFM (cubic feet a minute) not pressure, this spray gun requires quite a lot of CFM and if your compressor cannot supply enough of it than you will have to wait while the compressor can fill your very small tank

Did you ever find a timer that does performs like you asked? I want to program my misting system like this...come on every five minutes for a one minute spray time. Thank you.

May I assume that either at 100 ppm or 250 ppm only a one-time spray is needed? Then I wait. :-) Thanks.

Hi carl I believe it was either 7 or 9 gallons per minute but it has low lifting capability it is designed only to supply it to the pressure pump. I am using it for a cummings diesel engine in a motor home. Have driven it 1600 miles since install, works well.

I would estimate it pumps about 2 gallons per minute through. For what I use it for, that works fine. However, I'm using a much larger space.

I have 20 nozzles spaced about 5-6 feet apart, and all are over or near my flower beds and lawn. they've been on for 3 hours with minimal puddles. you have 40 nozzles for 40 feet? ya, might be a bit much unless it's over your garden. 10 should do it. on still days, we have a $15 stand fan moving air and we eat outside up to 5 times a week. it gets 100 plus here. works fine. get the orbit universal cleaner and soak the nozzles for a couple days then blow them out through the holes once a year. I use the canned air. flush the lines as well.

The 1/2" flexible polyethylene pipe will give you about 5-6 gallons per minute which works out to about 300 gallons per hour. Add up the amount of water your emitters or sprays or drip line you are using to see if this will deliver enough water.

You adjust the pressure manually with this sprayer. So, if you keep it pumped up and have the nozzle adjusted to a stream-spray, it may spray up to 8' . I typically use it as a mist spray to cover a broad area and then it only sprays about 2-3' ahead of me.

I believe it is 3.5 gallons per minute. I am on holiday and do not have the specs with me. I was very pleased with this pump.

About 1/2 gallon per nozzle per hour. But it also depends on water pressure. I ran it all summer 10 hours a day and didn't notice it on the bill.

Many gallons. It's in the form of small pellets. Comes with a measuring tube. It's less than a tenth of an ounce for a 2 gallon sprayer.
