For my portable work with my Ninja 150 I use a hydroforce designed for portables. It has no flexible hose to the spray handle. The spray handle is built into the top of the Hydroforce. It works ok but not as well as a regular Hydroforce but better than a pump up.

Check out the Revolution Low Pressure Sprayer

you guys worry to much.....most customers are very unaware...
 
even though they ask you if your coming with a truckmount, when you get there they show you the sink...when you bring out your lead hose in they show you the central vac outlet...and no matter how many times they have had it done, they always ask how long will it take to dry....
 
 
reading customer is part of the job.....I know what they will say before they say it

Dont underestimate the consumer Steamer. Theyre smarter than you think. And I bet you that they HAVE been into Home Depot at least a couple of times.
I'll make you TAP OUT!!!

The metal one from Home Depot is good enough.....why spend more than $50 bucks.....I've had the same two for years.... if it gets clogged with gard you just clean it out...whats the problem.
 
it's nice ...it's stainless.. it's professional
 
Those high end customers are blind...they have never even been to a homedepot...they don't do anything around the hose...they HIRE and PAY thats what they do...
 
if you walk in with a rolex watch they would quicker recognize that before they would your pump sprayer

Well then tell us the brand and where you get them.

After 21 years I still don't go to a job with tools that my customer has in his garage.

99% Of pump-up sprayers are made to ONLY spray water.

Make damn sure your pumper has viton seals or NO GOOD for spraying the money maker "GARD"
