Aqua Systems 5L Garden Pressure Sprayer Kit

Useless – Used this for the first time today. Absolutely useless. Won't hold pressure and the stream cannot be controlled. You get what you pay for I suppose. Show details
I'm evidently one of the lucky ones – Bought my first one two years ago for weed and feed. A little assembly was required, but nothing major. I followed the directions and was soon using the sprayer for the purpose I bought it. Works like a charm and the only problem is that it fell off the shelf and bent the rod which now leaks. I'm hoping I can buy a new rod from either Bunnings or… Read more
the distributor. In the meantime, I'd bought my second, no problems with that one either. If the worst comes to worst, I can interchange the rod. I'm about to buy a third to use on insect control on my vegetables. I agree that the cap was a little difficult to get off, but that's what the lugs on the handle and cap are for; if you press firmly against the cap with the handle, you can successfully tighten or loosen the cap. Keep it clean and it will last and last. Definitely recommend, price is excellent and it works like a charm.
Cannot Open Screw Top – It is unusable as the spray top will not open. It is sealed on or something as even the plumber cannot open it. I don't have the receipt so cannot return but not going to purchase anything from this brand ever again. Bunnings should rethink stocking this shonky product. Show details

This product is crap can not get any parts for it need 2 simply O rings useless – This product is crape can not get an O ring for it Show details
Not ready to use out of the box – My wife unboxed the pump & threw away the purchase receipt before testing the pump. It would not pump. We replaced the O ring with the one in the Spares Kit provided & applied O ring lubricant. It now builds pressure. Yet to be tested "On the job". It is extremely poor to need & use replacement parts on a brand new pump. We have no spare O ring now. Show details

Great for price – Have been using this pressure sprayer for over 2 years to spray ECO Oil in my garden and only had to replace the pump washer once. If maintained, it is excellent for the $11 cost. Very Happy :) Show details
Works for Me – Edit Spring costs as much as item, i leef them in the sun all the time and sometimes dont claen out the spray i use on tomatos now i have had them not pumping but fixd that by putting fixatap silicon grease on the orings inside the pump section and on the rubber stopper on the end so chems dont touch rubber had them say 3yrs now only thing that… Read more
broke was 1 spring and i swap the spring from another if i need to fill more than 1 dam ccheap. i leef roundup mixd in one all the time and dont use for 5weeks sometimes and still works wen i use it.
Has been working for me for about a Year if it lasts that long i will get another for sprayin a few Tomatos, The Spring broke and stopped the seal on the relief valve so i bet its not a great spring but can get replacement springs if you look around and a better one as for the plastic i dont have any problem yet but i will watch out for it exploding but i only use about 2 or 3 litres in at a time and never pump it up so high that that i cant push the handle down anymore and none have exploded me so i am impressed with it and it absolutely works and the spray is not too fine so i dont have to put up with breathin mist from fine spray cos its too heavy and falls to ground its rubbish but they sell out of em.
Good value for money – I used this for last one year and found it very handy around my garden. bought an other 2 so that I can use different products in each. good product for around $10
Negative reviews
Unusable! – Just bought this today, and trying to use it for the first time BUT it’s unusable as I can’t unscrew the cap to fill it up. It’s just too tightly screwed on! Any help or advice gratefully received!
Plastic Waste – I use my garden spray bottle for killing lawn weeds [-] More plastic waste for the Planet Pump handle is very flimsy! Nozzle adjustment spray pattern not precise for spot lawn weed spraying. Lance length not suitable for tall persons unless you continually bend over for precise spraying. This shortened length of lance lends itself to over sprayed areas. (Aqua's 5L Pressure Sprayer Kit is 11cm shorter than my previous sprayer.) [+] Refund Show details
Terrible. Complete waste of money – I bought two of these, first one cracked the bottle first use, second one leaks pressure. I swapped the parts around and got one that worked for a bit, then the trigger fell apart. I just got the whole lot and chucked it in the recycle bin. Don't waste your money Show details

Absolute garbage. They actually should not be able to sell this junk. Doesn't do what it is intended to do – Bought 2 of these in as many weeks thinking I just got a dud on the first one. You pump away and it doesn't even build pressure. Should be removed from sale as they are just ripping people off

Rubbish – Absolute total waste of money, didn’t work at all, should have known better than buy cheap, but only had a small one off job to do. Will never buy another of this companies “products”. Show details
Absolutely rubbish – Used it as per directions to spray white oil on my lemon and mandarin trees. Pressed to go lever and I had more mixture pouring out of the trigger assembly than was coming out of the nozzle. Think the manufacturer left something out when assembled. Yes it was cheap but I expected it to work at least once. Tried to contact the manufacturer but as expected nowhere to be found. Can’t find the receipt to take back to Bunnings. Show details
DANGEROUS - it exploded – I used this once or twice then left it in the shed for 2 years. I used it yesterday and filled it with roundup. I pumped it up and the plastic bottle exploded showering me and the surrounding area with roundup and nearly breaking my fingers. I should have realised it is cheap plastic and the plastic integrity deteriorated while it was sitting in the shed. Needs to have a shelf life warning. Show details
Don't waste your money – I have had several of these sprayers, and while they are cheap, they do not last more than one or two uses. My last purchased one, which I have not used over winter, is leaking and will not stay pumped up, so useless. time for Bunnings, to get their act together and get a better product. My first Hills spayer, which worked the same way as this product was purchased in the 1980's and lasted for years. Show details
this is cheap enough to be replaced – In deed this is a fairly cheap sprayer but I use few brands including Hills pressure sprayer and the major maintenance kit is A$23.00 when you can purchase at least two AQUA pressure sprayer for less than the price of the Hills service kit..... Show details
Aqua systems spare parts – Yes I agree with others that its not a good product when you cant get simple replacement parts like O rings or valves for the spray wand. Its so wasteful compared to other suppilers that provide those parts that wear out. Show details
Poor quality product – I would agree with the other negative comments made here. It is impossible too get spare parts and Bunnings cannot help with any adivce even though it seems to be one of their own products. Show details
Leaks galore and no parts – Leaks galore on this product. So dangerous for garden applications when handling chemical which defeats the whole purpose. Don’t waste your money. Spend a bit more money. Your health is more valuable.
Junk. Junk. Junk – I have bought 2 of these and both failed after a couple of uses. Fool on me for buying two! Stay away and save yourself time and money. Absolute junk! Show details

Spray bottle leaks – I purchased 1of these sprayers, after a short time it started leaking from the bottom of the bottle, I returned it to bunnings and got replacement Sprayer, after 5 or 6 uses the replacement started leaking also. I returned it and got a refund Show details
poor quality – One of the lifting lugs snapped off from the screw on cap only 1 lug left to lift 5l of liquid by the handle. The valve fell off on the inside of the pumping tube and is at bottom of the tube - so pump does not work. Show details
I wish I had read these reviews before buying – I bought one a couple of months ago and only used it two weeks ago for the first time last week. The rubber washer on the bottom of the pressure cylinder is not closing properly therefore the mix (glyphosate) is coming up inside the cylinder. Show details
Dangerous – After sitting idle over winter (4 or 5 months), the ridged plastic handle has developed about 10 pinholes, so that when you start pumping to get pressure in the tank you get sprayed with herbicide almost instantly.
just crap – bought one of these systems, wouldnt spray thought I may have just got a faulty one so went and bought a second one same thing again so I will never buy another one . It was just crap, buyer beware Show details
Possibly dangerous Sprayer – Had two of these . Both leaked from the bottom seam after less than 12 months. Both had liquid stored in them, but not under pressure. If these sprayers have poisonous liquid in them, there could be a dangerous outcome from the leakage. They are really rubbish and should not be available for sale. Show details
Absolute rubbish – Bought one, about $10, it leaked, can’t remember where, one of the seams I think,took it back and bought a Nylex as Bunnings doesn’t stock Hills anymore. Do not purchase the Aqua. Show details
Trigger system – I have 3 x 5 Ltr spray pots all triggers have failed & can NOT get spare parts. I will never buy another one or any other product made by Aqua or products made by the parent company as they need to lift there game as I consider there products cheep import cram Show details
I have four of them & all have busted at seam – They used be a good sprayer !They are now garbage. I have four of the 5litres sprayer & they all have split in the bottom seam very disappointed with them. I will never buy that product again. Bunning should be ashamed to sell this product not at all acceptable Show details
