Best Sprayer for Concrete Sealer
When it comes time to apply a concrete sealer a popular application tool is a sprayer. Sprayers can range from garden variety pump up sprayers to industrial grade paint sprayers. The type of sprayer used can depend on a number of factor including square footage, type of sealer, and the carrier used. Sprayers are also classified as airless, HVLP and pump up and the type is usually specified by the manufacturer.
Today we are reviewing the best pump up sprayers to use with most DIY concrete sealers. Three of the most popular brands are Echo, Solo and Chapin.
Echo sprayers are sold through approved retailers including The Home Depot. Echo sprayers are easy to spray, fill and clean and are safe for both water based sealers and solvent based sealers. Echo’s most popular product is the Diaphragm Backpack Sprayer since it makes sealing easy on your back. It is a little pricey at about $100 but well worth it for the ease of use.
When it comes to Solo sprayers their 2 gallon sprayer tends to be a good offering since it is easy to fill, easy to use and can be used for other home projects after sealing job is complete. Solo’s 4 gallon backpack sprayer is more economical than Echo’s; however, the straps are cheaply constructed and constantly slip off your shoulders when trying to apply.
Chapin is a name that is tried and trusted by many professionals and their industrial 3.5 gallon sprayer is designed specially for concrete applications. It is a great option and we would recommend using it with solvent based products.
