Can this sprayer be used for large surfaces like deck floor? Sounds like it does not save time, but makes a more professional finish.

If you are going to use a very thin product like a stain, it should work fine. However, this sprayer does not handle thicker products well at all. You would have to dilute paint quite a bit to make it function. This sprayer is better suited to a smaller project than a deck. I would invest more money in a better quality sprayer to use it on something of that size. I ultimately returned mine because it did not work well at all, plus the contatiner was cracked so it leaked everywhere.

You can certainly use it but it would be more convenient to use a sprayer with a larger reservoir capacity. As I stated in my review, I used this unit with undiluted deck stain and it worked just fine for a small surface.

Yea it can and will save lots of time. I used it to spray a 75ft fence front and back in an hour or two.

I would not waste my time with this Paint Sprayer. I found the paint or stain has to be so thin it becomes all most useless.

Actually you can. But my suggestion for this sprayer is to use Oil Based paints and enamels. It says you can use latex. But even after using latex paint conditioner and watering the pain down somewhat, it still clogged and sputtered. I actually painted my outdoor porch underlayment(ceiling) with a high gloss white oil based enamel and it went on very even and good without overspray.

How is the best way to apply it to floor joists in a low crawl space when a sprayer won't work!

Hello Mark, Unfortunately I had bought it for my farther to fertilize his lawn. Though from experience you can use the pro tank sprayer for stain depending on stain...paint...I have also had stains that do not work. It is a gamble.

I haven't done this, but don't see why not. The stain probably isn't any thicker than other gardening solutions commonly used in this sprayer. Thinking that it may be easier to throw sprayer away after the job, or spend a whole lot of time doing a proper cleaning so as not affect future spraying .

I would have to say yes. The sprayer has adjustable volumes for the paint. You may need to adjust the angle to get all of the nooks and crannys. Also overspray will probably be brutal due to gravity. Falling on you and the floor... Hope this helps

I did not keep it long enough to test it on wood doors. I would rent a pro sprayer on jobs that are critical.

I think this is made for only the floor of a deck, a patio, or a driveway. I only used it on a wood deck floor.

My sprayer does not have a uniform spray pattern and the pressure varies. I would not use for stains

If the stain is water based, yes... If the deck is big, it's an OK idea, but small decks, just use a pump sprayer...

This is a commercial sprayer used in construction mainly, waterproofing masonry,concrete etc.. In my opinion to heavy to carry across the lawn , it does not require a different nozzle, sprays like any other sprayer , you can get different nozzles with different angles if you want.

I used it to paint a large shed and it made short work of it. I tried to roll it but had difficulty because of the sidings textured surface. After getting the sprayer the job was finished much faster and consumed much less paint.Ceilings may be difficult because of the position of the draw from the reservoir. Pointing the sprayer up to spray the eaves required frequent topping of the reservoir.

Other than this one is not concentrated and you will not get many uses out of the bottle, this would work great as a floor cleaner. Maybe try it as a spot cleaner before you want to invest in the spray for a total floor cleaner.

Campbell Hausfeld states this sprayer is perfect for commercial and home maintenance, these sprayers are built to last. They list their contractor grade sprayer as Model PS6521 which is designed for fast spraying of large buildings.

Yes. But you MUST follow the directions for cleaning afterwards. LOTS of water thru the unit, use the solution that comes with it and remove and clean every part that is removable and clean those as well. This sprayer is a great time saver and will last and last if cared for properly. Any paint left will dry up, become impossible to clean and you will have ruined it. We have even used deck stain. Can't say it enough - clean clean clean.And as another person said - proper tip. Also very powerful sprayer so use caution as it can literally slice through skin.

It's not as powerful as a compressor driven sprayer. There will be more overspray on the floor, cover anything under the target area and go. Drywall texture is a mess with any application. This is a good tool for small, less than multiple rooms. For the money, it is a good tool.

This is an excellent sprayer for home tasks and will do the job well. Some helpful tips: Read the instructions until very familiar with the machine. Remember to remove the sticker on underside of machine, it helps airflow and this is not clearly stated in the instructions. Definitely strain the paint just before application, and definitely use a product like "Floetrol", both will help prevent annoying clogs. Make sure that the ceiling height is sufficient for the 'dryfall' paint overspray to dry...some say 8' clearance while other brands suggest more than 10'. The machine is not designed for extension hoses, and 25' is not enough line sometimes...a wagon or cart to move the machine with you as you apply the paint will save a lot of time that would be wasted on repositioning the machine. And it is better to apply lots of thin coats rather than a solid single coat because the paint will run. (No paint ever covers in a simple single coat). Finally have some buckets of water handy to clean the machine after use...paint will dry really fast an make cleaning difficult if you wait.
