Chapin Hose End Sprayer. Better Than Ortho?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Here is everything you need to know about the Chapin Hose end wet dry sprayer. The tank holds 32 ounces just the same as the ortho. The settings are very similar except for the dry measurement.
at 8 ounce setting the tank is dry in 2 minutes and 40 seconds. The sprayer runs at about a third less volume than the ortho. Meaning that it will take longer to do 1000 ft.² The flow rate on the ortho sprayer is 2 gallons per minute, the Chapin sprayer is 1.5 gallons per minute. Basically, this means that you can set yourself up for a more leisurely stroll.
Depending upon your experience, the rates listed below in the description are suggested for basic applications of any of the liquid products from a Greene County Fertilizer Company.
An added benefit of the sprayer is its ability to put through water soluble fertilizers as well. Even though I am not a manufacturer of any water soluble powders, this would be way easier than many of the things I’ve seen online mixing up powders in a backpack sprayer.
I would suggest that you mark off 1000 ft.² and set a timer so that you can get an idea of the pace you need in order to properly apply product. After a few times of doing applications at the right place, your body won’t forget.
A couple of things to note with sprayer, the filter basket should remain in the cup when you pour through your concentrated material. The straw will then go all the way through to the bottom and pull the material back through the filter. I would suggest you leave that in the cup so that you don’t get in for an object stuck in the sprayer.
If anything were to get stuck in the siphon, it takes about two minutes to pull it apart and clean it out. There are four Phillips head screws on the bottom of the spray device and one on top where the wet dry indicator is.

First time I can recall that you kept a filter on something lol
🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
The good ole John Perry Mod 😆
I definitely don’t filter some things…
Boop Boop!!
I love ❤️ this Chapin or the Ortho. Feels good in the hands and doesn’t feel cheap. I even did a video using it but I have done a comparison video 👍🏾
Thanks for taking the time to do the leg work and make this tool a success first time out. Will definitely give it a shot when my Ortho gives out but so far it keeps spraying away. I can see the advantage of ease of container attachment.
Keep your Ortho. I have had 2 Chapins that leaks one up from the connection, look like a connection, but isn't. Sure my neighbors got a kick seeing this. I am going for the Ortho.
The Chapin with the K1 nozzle is the best I’ve found (or anything with the K1 head for that matter). Great consistent pressure and there’s no sputtering when you get close to the end.
Do you have a link for that?
@@scottlarkin4748 couldn’t paste it on here but they’re at Ace hardware for $10. It’s called the “20 gallon hose end sprayer”. The bottle has volume markers on the outside and the K1 nozzle. Works really well for me.
Put that thing to the test and lets see how long it lasts. I'm not anxious to go back to a hose end sprayer again but if it withstands the test of time I may just give it a go. Well done John. 👊🏼
I’ll Chuck it off the roof and see if it still sprays.
@@Lawncology 😁
Seeing as my Ortho finally crapped on me after 2.5 years… gonna check this out!
Was better man.
I've got a couple of different Chapin hose ends and have had zero issues with them
I also have a Chapin 12 gallon push sprayer that I made a 2 nozzle tee jet boom spray for...love it!!!
That push sprayer is sweet. I found another really cool device that I’ll debut next year. Kind of a different designed push sprayer.
@@Lawncology can't wait...
I’ve been lucky with my Ortho compared to what I have seen and read online. However I like that filter on the Chaplin! Will give it a try this season. Thanks for reviewing 🤠
Finally... what I've been waiting for
Tip one, take the instructions out of the filter...😂
Haha. Yeah
I read this and was like, what instructions?” so I open it up and sure as shit. I guess when I opened it to fill it the filter came out with it.
@@RhuleBeans a good laugh 😃
FOURTY TWO!!! The answer to life, the Universe, and Everything. Thanks for all the fish!
Zephod beeblebrox!
@@Lawncology In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
I actually went back to the older ortho dial n spray (yellow cap) this year and like it better. Thanks for the video, I'll have to give this chapin a try.
I have one of those. The chapin has that same fill feature.
I picked this Chapin HES a few days before you first showed it and thought what a coincidence 😂
I’m 💯 loving the Chapin over the Ortho! My Ortho what crap, and the 2nd and 3rd Ortho I bought were also 💩
I was thinking about buying one before I decided to buy the Blue Mule 50b. It's a little pricey but it's worth it, since making the switch I haven't had any issues at all.
Great channel and content! Love the daily uploads, too. I used d-thatch today & looking forward to my first liquid fert season on my TTTF
Thank you!
I picked one up last week. Looking forward to trying it out this weekend. Great timing on the video JP!
Its a life changer
I clogged up the Chapin in about 20 minutes. Maybe I just got a bad apple but it kept leaking at the connection to the hose and wouldn’t draw from the reservoir. Switched to the ortho and never looked back. Ortho gets a lot of hate but I actually like it quite a bit.
My chapin just arrived today going to give it a whirl tomorrow 👍🏻 can’t go wrong with these hose end sprayers! They’re so cheap
They are. It’s more durable than the Ortho. Works very well.
My cousin gave me one of these to try out..definitely better construction that the Ortho for sure, but mannn its slow! I’m sticking to my backpack though. Great review JP.
Thanks boss
Always gonna finish quick the first time… the second time you get closer to hittin’ the spot (you must be talented since you hit it just right the second time). Now the third time, you’ll for sure knock the hi/low out of it and enjoy your properly timed spray 😉.
Perfect 😂😂😂
Hope this hose end sprayer pans out and makes applications easier for folks. Curious to see how well the Microgreene favors on that filter. 👊
I have used both of these brands hose end sprayers and for ease of use I'll take the Ortho sprayer over the Chapin for one simple reason.
The Ortho has a trigger you can squeeze and adjust flow rate by how much you depress the trigger.
The Chapin just has an on/off valve that can be difficult to switch on and off when you have protective gloves on and as you are trying to turn it off water is still spraying out while on Ortho, you just stop pressing the trigger which is much safer and easier to use.
John I think it’s about time for Green County Fert to come up with their own hose in sprayer. LoL
It’s been suggested so many times. I really don’t know that there’s a better design. It’s just a basic thing
I have to be honest. The Anderson’s Refillable multipurpose hose end sprayer 32 oz two pack for $18.99 on Amazon is the best thing I have found to use your products in.
@@braycav6609 those are fantastic and always have been.
Nice vid John! Was thinking of you today spraying in my sanders with my ortho. Of course it was sputtering it’s way through half the bottle. Was thinking about this sprayer as well and going to pick one up:). Cheers bud
I switched to this a few weeks ago. I find that it is easier to thread a full container on. The Ortho always went crooked and made a mess.
So much better. I agree with that 100%
I always have trouble with it too, very easy to cross thread.
thanks John gonna try this one
Way better dude.
Just picked this up at the Walmart across the street. Happy to try something besides the ortho
Thanks for your info! I just got this Chapin a few days ago but I am still confused. How do I use it to Foliar spray my trees when the D-Grow said to use 1 teaspoon per1 gal of water. What setting should I use? How long should I spray?
Nit picking here but these hose-end sprayers should make the bottom concaved so that centered "straw" can suck up most everything when it's channeled into middle. Then just make bottom thicker a little to allow it to stand up if needed. I'm sure that's more cost than they want though.
You’re right, and I imagine that it would be less than a penny to change it
Good Evening everybody
I'm enjoying watching this video on my hand held device and I get interrupted by a tornado warning telling me to take shelter immediately
He said...." The first time I did it, I finished a little quick. The second time, I hit it right on the spot"
Sounds like my Friday night.
Thanks for the content, my only question 🙋♂️. If im not using a granular would you recommend it over the ortho? Your renovation look great, Jealous in Louisville, Ky Tall fescue…….
Newbie here. I’m about a year and a half in to a lawn renovation. I’ve accumulated several gadgets and chemicals in efforts to eliminate weeds and nurture grass. I’ve been using a four gallon back pack sprayer to apply prodiamine (preemergent) and Celsius (herbicide) over an acre and it’s a lot. Have you used this gadget in a similar task? Do you feel the mixing/application is suitable for the job? It seems like it would be a lot easier and faster using the hose end sprayer over the back back sprayer. I’m a woman and that thing gets heavy filling it a dozen times a day for big jobs. I bought the Chapin hose end sprayer today to feed my vegetable garden but I’m now considering it’s use more broadly. I’d love your feed back. Oh, and I subscribed! Thanks a million. Gretchen in Nashville.
You should consider doing a single tank and merely dragging a hose. The Chapin hose feeder is a one gallon tank that makes life very easy.
Hi John, first time commenting on your channel. Have been applying your products now for 2 seasons and it really has been amazing, my turf is getting thicker and staying greener longer and I am pretty proud of my yard. With that said I still struggle with these damn sprayers, sometimes the product comes out brown ( witch I like) but other times the water comes out clear and I wonder if it’s working? I can’t deny my grass is doing better but I wish there was a better way to apply. I will try this sprayer and see how it goes. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks. Really enjoy your channel and your products.
That looks great but I’ll stick with my 600 gallon tank and Kappa 55 😉
😂😂
First time i finished too soon... That's what he said. Chapin products are in that weird zone where they are better than most but definitely not professional. This product fits perfectly for them! Do you still have the Petra?
I have the Petra and I love it. Use it for my trees mostly.0
Good evening bro
How do you use this for plants? For instance, if I pour 4 teaspoons of dry miracle grow in the filter and set the yellow dial for 4 tsp is that right? Also when will I know when to add more plant food?
I need to spray the sprits of salt to clean moss of paving.
I do not have the same luck with the ortho. I’ve had 2 and they both stopped siphoning. I’ve had better luck with the Chameleon.
The ortho is a pain. I had a chameleon but I need more pressure. It doesn’t work at lower pressure
I have an Ace hose end sprayer-looks much like the Chapin and has a thumb switch with two markings: wet and dry. I'm assuming wet is for a liquid application; dry for a powdered application or product. Am I correct?
That’s some top shelf copy writing 3:58-4:12
😂😂😂
Looks like a winner!
Nice work, very detailed
The ‘shower’ setting is a joke.
I was distracted by the View. Had to rewatch a few times.
Did you happen to see how the hose quick connects did on this? I've had nothing but issues with them on the Ortho. They always manage to back out.
I’ll throw them on. I wasn’t using them because I kept taking it to others homes to spray.
1. Are you still filling up the remaining space with water? As in only spraying 3oz of RGS let's say, putting 3oz in then filling the remaining 29oz with water.
2. I've been using the Ortho's dial as my "flow rate". I typically set it at 3oz understanding I'll have more time to spray 1k. If I need to move quicker I just up the dial. Does the Chapin operate like this as well?
Thanks!
1. He is not diluting it with 29 oz of water.
2. I believe that the chapin has a lower total flow and doesn’t have a setting as high as the ortho. I believe you can adjust it to feed your product at a slower rate if you need to. Note: I have only used ortho.
Same yes but no need to filler up.
What about using it to apply NEMATODES?
🤷🏼♀️ Anyone know how to fix the leak from dry/wet switch, it leaks a lot 🤔
Hose in sprayers will do the job and are cheep. They do make a great back up for battery power backpacks if you didn’t recharge it 😂.
You got that right.
When using either one, can you dial it back to maybe a tablespoon . It may take longer to get product down but wont run out. Thank you...
Outstanding.
Thanks John. Im curious to see how it works with prodiamine 65 wdg. Please let me know if you think it’s doable
It can work, you’ll need to dissolve it well.
I bought one a few months ago and have not had a chance to try it out. I also bought a Bonide Mix and Spray that worked really well. The Bonide seems to be the same as the chameleon sprayer, but it must have some differences built in because it doesn't leak all over like the chameleon does that Jimmy reviewed. I found the Bonide at our local North 40 store.
Here is a link for the Bonide if your curious bonide.com/product/auto-mix-hose-end-sprayer/
Might be picking up a chapin now.
Got 50lbs of RPR on the way! Looking into detachers. Any experience with the lawn blades with thatch tines? Rentals around me are more than a new corded on online.
So I’ve heard different things about that tines on mower blades. I guess they can be pretty Agro. The RPR will do you so very well.
It would help to know the dilution rate on both min and max settings for a given rate of water flow. For example, on your 5 gal in 4 mins run, how much of the contents in the end sprayer reservoir are used up on different settings ?
It’s always what you set the dial to. So at 8 ounces, you’ll use 16 ounces of fluid per minute and the tank will be empty in two minutes.
@@Lawncology How many settings are there ?
@@RovingPunster a lot. From .25 up to 8
@@Lawncology Thanks, this was helpful. +1 👍
Thanks for reviewing. Will RGS clog up Chapins filter?
No, I’ve not had any clogging issues with these
Can I spray both flora green and micro green on my newly seeded areas? How much to make it darkeeerrrrr? Thanks….
I like the Chapin
Have you ever used the yard mastery battery sprayer? It holds 4 gallons. Thanks
I haven’t. I know that allyn got all the attachments solid and the pump on that thing. I have a ryobi and a Petra currently
Hi. I’m hoping you can help me. I just bought one of these things and I’m not sure if it’s working correctly. I put a 500ml stock solution and started spraying. I stopped the flow and moved to a new zone and continued spraying. The stock solution stayed at the same level (never reduced) and then suddenly the whole reservoir filled up, diluting my stock solution. I’ve seen a lot of similar reports in product reviews. Is this my user error or product defect? I don’t seem to be able to make (seemingly) simple yard tools work for me! Hope you can help!
There are two settings, one for liquid and one for dry. Sounds like you had it on dry which fills and dilutes the cup
Can you please help us in Gainesville?
We had so much rain this summer that our whole neighborhood has turned green in a bad way- mold, mildew and fungus.
I use your products for the past 2 summers. Bio stim pack and H-12.
It seems that most of the problems areas are where I applied the Next Humic 12.
I just could use some advise…
Couple things: you may be holding more water in those areas. Secondly, did you only spot treat? Often times a good dose of K is a good idea after extended periods of moisture.
I want to clean my deck using the sprayer to apply a product called 30 Second cleaner. The product says use a 1:1 ratio of cleaner to water. How much cleaner do put in the tank. Thank you.
There isn’t a way you can do that with this sprayer. In order to do one to one, you would need to be able to pull out one full gallon of material per 1 gallon of water that passes through. This sprayer will let 2 gallons per minute out.
Is it ok to spray 18-0-1 humic and rgs in the rain. Since it is suppose to be watered in. We are suppose to get rain tomorrow and thought that might be a good idea to get it down. Thanks
Is it possible to use Scott's weed n feed with a wet/dry hose end sprayer?
It looks like a nice sprayer, but why couldn't they get the flow to either 1 GPM, or 2 GPM? Something that makes mental calculations easy. 1.5 GPM?!? I can't do that math in my head. :-( Not sure if I'll give it a go or not, but thanks for the rates info.
I don’t know. It’s weird. But hey, it works
I'm sorry but confused. You are saying that no matter what I set the tank dial on, whether it's 8 oz of product in tank or 2 oz, that in 42 sec that amount will be gone? I want to spray beneficial nematodes over a 600 ft area and another area of 1500 sq ft. I will first reconstitute them in a gallon of water but I want to thoroughly wet the ground with say 25 gallons of water small plot and 50 gallons or more for 2nd plot, how do I figure out how long it takes 32 ounces of the nematodes in the cup to empty? Sorry if this is a stupid question.
The rate that comes out of the gun is 42 seconds for a gallon of water. Whatever you set the dial to will inject into one gallon of water.
@@Lawncology Ok thanks, I think I got it. Fixing to try spraying my Strawberries today with Miracle Grow Bloom but also watering them first. Then for my small bed I will put in the Fertilizer amount I want, set the dial for dilution/ gal and spray for 42 seconds and product should be used up. Hope I got that right.
Never before have I wanted a cheap piece of plastic so much. Now if only HD, Lowe’s, Menards, or Fleet Farm would STOCK the ***bleep*** thing. #accountantapproved
I got mine at Wal Mart!
@@Lawncology John Perry got me into Walmart just to buy this thing 😂 on the shelf and now replacing the Ortho 👌
Weak flow. I couldn't spray 5 ft up on my siding.
So with granular how long?? Miracle grow dissolvable??
It seems he's NOT answering questions.
the ortho mixer settings are a pain on the fingers
Not on topic but any ideas on getting rid of voles.
Ever try gum?
@@Lawncology I have read about that. I have caught 2 using a mouse trap. I’ll give it a try.
My man, you need to clean your Watch face. 😁
Everyday
Does the dry granules go in the basket?
Likely that works as a filter. I don’t use it that way, I only run liquids through it
Last Aussie 😁
Question can you mix humic12 with air8 using an ortho sprayer?
Yes
Hey glad you took my sugestion on the chapin sprayer its a game changer better than the ortho so it be nice to send me some swag
loyal subcriber and product user ty
It’s so much better, thank you.
@@Lawncology Your welcome Happy spraying
I didn't buy the sprayer at Walmart because the instructions are printed on the bottle. way tooooo small to read.
Pour in and spray.
You hardly showed it spraying.
Ok
using it on the dry mode is utter fail leaks like crazy
That's 7 minutes that I will never get back. This was pretty useless. Flow rate, flow rate, flow rate. How about something about actual sprayer operation.
Way over my head I'll stick with my Ortho .
Enough with the watch already.
