How to make a garden sprayer with your own hands

Care for vegetables includes timely watering. It is important that vegetables, herbs, flowers regularly receive moisture for proper growth and development.

Evenly distributed water jets moisten the soil most effectively. This can be done by spraying with the use of special devices. Before you make a garden sprayer with your own hands, familiarize yourself with the principles of operation of such devices.

What is a garden sprayer

The garden sprayer is a device that evenly distributes the spraying of the supplied liquid in a radius of 5-10 m. With the help of the unit, you can water, fertilize, and process plants.

The operation of a summer sprayer is based on the principles of physics - the pressure difference in sealed working tanks and atmospheric pressure. Irrigation water, solutions with fertilizers, mixtures with the addition of compounds from diseases of crops and parasites are fed into the tank.

Spraying devices are classified by type of treatment into:

• Automatic
• semi-automatic;
• hand held;
• pump action.

You can independently make a sprayer for the garden, similar to the factory-made Stanley apparatus of foreign production or the Zhuk assembly of domestic assembly.

Work of a sprayer for giving

The mechanism of operation of country sprayers is based on the following actions:

• working solution is supplied through a hose under high pressure;
• the fluid enters the telescopic cavity of the nozzles;
• under pressure due to valve opening crane for sprayer rush to the spray holes;
• due to pressure and small holes in the nozzle, the flow is distributed to many small ones.

Depending on the pressure, the size of the holes in the spray gun and the angle of position, the supplied liquid is sprayed with jets, a cloud or fan irrigation.

The pressure in the system is created by:

• air supplied by a diaphragm pump powered by an engine;
• piston force, which is created by the diaphragm pumping device and the flexible plate located inside it;
• from the operation of a backpack pump powered by a battery device.

You can implement any of the above methods into your device.

Use of garden sprayers:

With the help of spraying devices it is possible to carry out many works:

• watering of vegetable, ornamental crops, fruit plants, greens, lawns, lawns;
• processing from pests of green spaces, wood, other materials;
• washing of windows, cars, farm buildings, sidewalks, sites;
• painting surfaces with aqueous dispersion solutions;
• uniform distribution of feeding compositions in the soil of plantings.

You can build a sprayer for your own use, so that in your absence the device produces water for irrigation of crops. This will save you from having to be on the site in dry times. The system setting is automatically adjusted depending on the soil moisture level.

How to make a sprayer for the garden with your own hands

The simplest design that can be assembled with one's own hand is a sprayer for a backpack-type garden. The device is manually adjustable.This is a universal option for work on your site. The principle of operation of the unit is based on the supply of fluid under pressure created by the control lever of the pumping pump device.

Water or working solution enters the hose under pressure. From the hose, the liquid flows into the chamber, from which it leaves into the installed spray nozzles. The pressure in the pump pump is created by forcing air, which displaces the liquid. The injection is created by manual control by acting on the pump.

Work units of a homemade sprayer:

• tank for filling with water or working solution;
• a tap to reduce the pressure level in the refueling tank;
• filter element for solution;
• nozzle with nozzles for supplying the working fluid to the outside;
• lever for manual adjustment of the pump;
• centrifugal pumping device;
• piston control knob;
• hoses;
• fasteners.

It is also necessary to prepare the material for laying between the fasteners and components to create a tight system.

The algorithm for assembling a country sprayer from the mains

An important component of a home-made spraying system is a pumping device. You can use any centrifugal pump, for example, a household unit of the Aquarius brand. The device delivers up to 20 liters of water in 1 minute and is able to create a working pressure of up to 2 atmospheres. These characteristics will be sufficient for work on a standard summer cottage. In 1 hour you can water or treat the plot with a solution of 360 liters.

Assemble the spray system yourself in the following sequence:

• install a hose with a length of at least 50 cm on the outlet in the pump;
• at the end of the hose, put the tee that connect the washing machines. The element must be equipped with a crane acting as a pressure regulator in the system, and a discharge arm;
• fasten the ends of the hoses with clamps;
• install a reservoir of working fluid on the site;
• immerse the pump in the tank;
• take the hose with a tee out of the tank outward;
• from the tee, install hose leads of the desired length;
• in high traffic areas, protect hoses and wires with channels;

• at the ends of the working hoses, install nozzles with sprayers and manual adjustment taps;
• turn on the mains and the pump;
• activate the valve for supplying fluid to the hose system;
• open the trigger in the desired sprayer.

The assembled system is manually controlled. You can water the segmented section by installing appropriate hose installations throughout the area. For simultaneous spraying of liquid on several squares of power, this type of pump will not be enough. To work on large areas or watering several at once, install more powerful pumping units into the system.

Assembling a mobile battery powered sprayer

To make a do-it-yourself spraying system that will be powered by a battery device, you will need:

• a reservoir for pouring water or a working solution with a pressure relief valve;
• car pumping device;
• nipple for tires equipped with double-sided rubber gasket;
• 12V car battery;
• pressure gauge for measuring pressure in a sealed tank with a working solution;
• copper wires with insulation;
• knife-type terminals and clamps for connecting the pump to the battery.

To recharge the battery periodically, purchase a charger.

To assemble the spray system, assemble all the necessary nodes in the accessibility zone.In the tank wall, make a hole for installing the automobile nipple and place it there, ensuring a snug fit. Install a pressure gauge to read the pressure inside the tank.

Useful!

Pour liquid into the tank, connect the pump hose to the nipple. Install the battery terminals in the correct polarity to power the auto pump. Attach a hose with installed nozzles to the pumping device to supply the solution to the working area. Secure the pump and battery near the tank. Work with the fluid when the pressure gauge reaches within 3 atm.

You can build both a stationary spraying system with a large tank, and assemble a mobile sprayer. For a compact device, use a tank of up to 10 liters, which can be attached to the back with straps. The battery with the pump can be mounted on the wall of the tank or placed in a bag with a belt. Using a homemade sprayer with a pump, powered by a battery, you can spray 10 liters of working fluid.

Construction of a sprayer from a plastic bottle and a bicycle pump

Assemble the simplest spraying system, which will consist of a bicycle pump, a hose and a plastic bottle. To build, prepare:

• hand pump for a bicycle;
• atomizer;
• plastic bottle;
• nipple for bicycle tires;
• hose.

In a plastic bottle, make a hole for the nipple, tightly install it in the wall. Secure the rubber seal around it with glue. Screw the pump hose into the nipple. Place a spray bottle on the neck of the bottle. Secure the bicycle pump in the closed position on the plastic container. To bring the system into operation, create pressure in the bottle with liquid using a bicycle pump. Point the device into the work area and open the spray valve.

Effective watering and uniform spraying by distributing the liquid in the work area will reduce time and effort when caring for garden crops. Build a simple device with a sprayer to fertilize plants or to treat diseases and pests.
