HOZELOCK PUTS THE PRESSURE ON ELIMINATING WEEDS WITH NEW GARDEN SPRAYERS

Gardeners struggling to spray can now put the pressure on eliminating unwanted weeds, pests and insects with Hozelock’s new range of multi-purpose pressure sprayers.

Designed by gardeners for gardeners and made in the UK, Hozelock introduces a new range of pain free spraying solutions. The new Standard, Plus and Pro pressure sprayers have been developed to provide a much more cost effective solution for your gardening needs. Ready to use, disposable sprayers can create environmentally un-friendly packaging waste and can be much more difficult to spray accurately.

You won’t have this problem with a new efficient Hozelock sprayer. Now there’s no need for bending or reaching, helping gardeners say goodbye to painful gardening aches and pains.

Hozelock’s new Standard, Plus & Pro pressure sprayers boast:

• Hozelock’s ‘last drop’ spraying system which completely empties the bottle while spraying, leaving no waste
• Advanced features including adjustable nozzles, lockable on / off flow for continuous spraying, wide foot grips for stability when spraying, and a pressure release valve to stop over pressurising
• Enlarged 90mm-wide bottle mouth to make filling and cleaning much easier
• On board Hose storage system located in the base for convenience
• A transparent dosing cup and last-use indicator to remind gardeners what chemical solution was last used in the bottle to prevent cross contamination
• A versatile 3-in-1 carrying harness for maximum comfort, which can be used as a shoulder strap, satchel or rucksack for ease of spraying

Gardeners now have the added convenience of using a pressure sprayer compared with a ready-to-use spray gun. This helps with the even control of pests and weeds quickly and carefully. Hozelock recommends gardeners use Roundup™ from Scotts, a concentrated weed killer that kills weeds right down to the root. For example the new Hozelock pressure sprayer filled with one 150ml bottle of concentrate covers the same area as using 54 handheld sprayers.

Available in Standard, Plus and Pro models that come in sizes from 5 litre to 16 litre sprayers; they have been developed for both amateur and experienced gardeners alike. All are easy to use and perfect for the care of greenhouse plants and general garden use.

Hozelock’s new Standard, Plus & Pro pressure sprayers are available from leading gardening and DIY stores across the UK from March 2012, and are priced from £19.99 - £24.99 for standard models, £26.99 - £38.99 for Plus models and £39.99 - £49.99 for the Pro range.
