Customer Rating: Summary: GOODY 2006-06-14 Comment: I have this steel (non stainless steel) model which lasted only 3 years before rusting an leaking at the seam under pressure. The pressure was quite good. That was the bad news, the good news, company replaced the whole unit without charge after 3 years because the tank leaked. The pressure is quite good. I use it for small trees, bushes and it works great.
The proper way to bleed out the pressure is to turn the unit upside down and release the pressure throught the wane before refilling. There will be some Liq. in the wane, so be careful.

Customer Rating: Summary: Chapin 1380 Premier Tri-poxy Steel Sprayer - 3 gallon 2005-10-12 Comment: Professional quality. Ease to change nozzles a plus. Does an excellent job getting fungicide on the underside of rose leaves. Quickly switch nozzles and stream spray climbing roses. Fairly lightweight for metal sprayer. Over all, the Chapin 1380 is a great tool for rosarians.
