IPS sprayer review
www.ipspro.us/
I got one. I like it over having to hook/unhook the HF.
Basic spray tip don't fit my useage, i should have got the additional tip pkg, and 2 nd battery.
You can hook up to a 1gl jug, a 5gl jug(if your man enough to carry the weight), convert a pump up sprayer(I cut the wand handle off). You could even put a long hose on it and go from 5gl jug tospray handle. I can go back and forth from each container easy. Sprays evenly.
Unknown: durability or function issues(break downs).

Re: IPS sprayer review
I have always liked the concept of sprayers like this, but they have never panned out for me. The Multipsraer and Penguin sprayers, for example, all had the same problem for me.....lack of psi and volume.
The website claims up to 90 psi....I hate that. My 3M Multisprayer was 100 psi and I couldn't tolerate that at all. Just too slow and struggled with encaps clogging the sprayer tip.
IF they would make one like this in a 200 psi, I could work with that. Ideal psi for me is about 250 psi., so the inline sprayers just work better for me on most chemicals.
Maybe for upholstery or applying a deodorizer / protector it would fit the bill, but I can't see using it for presprays.
The other question is volume? How much is actually being sprayed? My guess is very little and that doesn't help the process at all.
What can I say, I am a big skeptic after getting burned by these kind of sprayers over the last 10 years and will have to hear some good reports to get me interested in trying one.

The website states that you can adjust the flow and psi up to 90 psi. I don't see how that psi is going to clean the mildew off your shingles or half of anything else displayed on the website. I am seeing a gross misrepresentation of the product, which doesn't surprise me.
I look forward to hearing the testimonials, but I remain a huge skeptic for now.
Re: IPS sprayer review
Ya, its NOT powerful enough to pressure spray much. The adj psi is based on depressing the trigger.
For larger open area like commercial, might slow you down. Doing a few rooms at a time, its working for me. About as good as a pump up- - but NO pumping.
I've had problem with the HF(mostlikely nockoffs) blocks this year.

Re: IPS sprayer review
I've been using my IPS for 3 weeks now. I like it more than using my HF sprayer. I bought a few 2 gallon jugs to use for pre-spraying.

Re: IPS sprayer review
Sounds like it might beat outlet searching, plugging in and out, and messing with MS electric cord
Re: IPS sprayer review
some ppl on tmf have been saying the thing broke already but who knows
looks like a great tool, would be awsome if a company like makita made one

Re: IPS sprayer review
Well that is concerning Mo. I thought TMF was selling that sprayer so for one of members to say something negative might be a bad sign.
Time will tell.
