“It has more features than any other backpack sprayer on the market, yet it’s lightweight and affordably priced,” says Greg Imus about his company’s new Jacto PJB-16 backpack sprayer.
    The new backpack sprayer is powered by a removable lithium ion battery located inside a hard plastic compartment under the tank, and is available in 4 and 5-gal. capacities. A control panel located on one side of the battery compartment displays the battery charge level, pressure and alerts. Audible-visible warning indicators are built in to alert you in case of any issues with the sprayer’s pump, electric motor or wiring and also to warn you if the battery is close to losing power.
    The sprayer features 5 pressure settings, hydraulic agitation, built-in controller diagnostics, a walking pace indicator, and comes equipped with soft, padded shoulder straps, a heavy-duty trigger valve, and a stainless steel wand with 4 nozzle attachments.
    “The lithium ion battery lasts much longer than a conventional nickel cadmium battery and allows you to spray all day, with full power right up until the battery dies,” says Imus. “The battery will last 4 to 8 hrs. depending on the use, and you’ll hear an audible warning a few minutes before the battery wears out. It takes about 4 hrs. to recharge. Total hours of operation are recorded on the control panel so that service intervals can be determined easily.”
    He says customers really like the on-demand hydraulic agitator, which uses a venturi to produce a strong jet of water to stir things up instead of just recirculating the material. “It keeps the contents of the sprayer properly mixed, including wettable powders, so that they don’t clog the filter,” says Imus.
    The sprayer also comes with an adjustable 4-speed walking pace indicator with audible signal to help the operator maintain a constant walking speed. “The pace indicator makes sure that the operator walks at a prescribed pace in order to provide even coverage,” notes Imus.
    The Jacto PJB-16 backpack sprayer retails for $399.99.
