Ortho Dial N Spray Hose-End Sprayer - For Liquid Weed Killer, Insect Killer and Fungicide, Hose Fertilizer Sprayer with 14 Dilution Settings

The Ortho Dial N Spray Hose-End Sprayer has become my go-to tool for keeping my lawn and garden in top shape, and I’m beyond impressed with how easy and effective it is! Whether I’m tackling weeds, pests, or fertilizing my plants, this sprayer takes all the guesswork out of the process. It’s a total time-saver and delivers flawless results every time—hands down, a five-star product! Pros: • No Mixing, No Mess: Just pour your liquid concentrate into the jar, set the dial, and spray. It’s so simple—I’ve never had a spill or wasted product, which is a huge win compared to manual mixing. • Versatile Spray Patterns: The three options—broadcast, jet, and shower—are perfect for any job. I use broadcast for my lawn, jet for high tree branches (it reaches up to 25 feet!), and shower for my delicate flowers. Each one works like a charm. • Precise Dilution Settings: With 14 settings from 1 teaspoon to 8 ounces per gallon, I can dial in the exact strength I need. It’s automatic and consistent, so I know my plants are getting the right treatment every time. • Comfortable Design: The extended-grip handle keeps my hands dry, and the ergonomic trigger feels great even after long sessions. Plus, the rotating hose connector makes it super easy to maneuver. • Anti-Backflow Bonus: I love that it prevents chemicals from flowing back into my hose—peace of mind for safety and water purity. Cons: • Slight Leak Potential: If you don’t secure the hose connection tightly (or add an extra washer), it might drip a little at first. It’s an easy fix, but worth mentioning. • Pickup Tube Could Be Better: The rigid tube sometimes struggles to suck up the last bit of concentrate unless I hold it perfectly level. A flexible, weighted tube would be an upgrade. • Loud Jet Setting: The jet spray is powerful but noisy—fine for me, but it might startle pets or neighbors if you’re not careful. This sprayer has made lawn care feel like less of a chore and more of a breeze. It’s durable, user-friendly, and delivers professional-level precision without the hassle. Whether you’re a gardening newbie or a seasoned pro, the Ortho Dial N Spray is a fantastic investment—five stars all the way!

This sprayer really exceeded my expectations. I bought it because my tap water is very alkaline at pH 8.0, but I've wanted a pH of ideally 6.0-6.7 or so for my outdoor container garden plants. The hose end sprayer delivers the pH Down I added with a consistent pH. I can recover the product to change the solution in the sprayer, which is a very nice feature. The different spray settings click into place nicely. The flow rate is very strong, much stronger and faster than my Miracle-Gro sprayer. I noticed a prominent review for this product suggested defeating the built-in filter mechanism to increase the pressure, saying that filter or governor "doesn't need to be there." False! That's a backflow prevention mechanism, from what I can see! So that should be left in place. From the pressure of my standard household water tap, this sprayer was very powerful and needed no adjustment at all. It filled a quart size container in seconds. All I had to do for this sprayer to work perfectly was connect it... I love it. No issues yet. Here's what I did with my Ortho Dial N Spray to adjust the pH of my container plants: I bought pH Down (Bloom City Professional pH Down Liquid Fertilizer) and followed the instructions on the bottle, adding 1 oz of the pH Down stock to the hose end sprayer container and filling it to the 32 oz line. I then set the dial on the Ortho Dial N Spray to 1 oz and tested the pH using pH paper (Micro Essential Lab 2210 Plastic Hydrion Vivid Short Range pH Test Paper Dispenser, 4.5 - 8.5 pH, Single Roll) and an electronic probe (YINMIK Digital pH Tester for Soil), which gave similar results within 0.2-0.3, indicating a pH of 6.7 +- 0.3. So, it had already brought the pH down into my target range! To acidify the water further, I simply moved the hose end sprayer dial from 1.0 oz setting to 1.5 oz, measured the pH of a quart of the emitted water, and sure enough it had moved further down to 6.4, and there I've kept the dial. I dumped the quart of water, filled another quart, tested the pH, and it has held steady. This leaves no doubts to me that the Ortho Dial N Spray will meter out other concentrates in a steady manner as well. However, I only use pH Down for container plants and do so lightly, because it supposedly contains phosphate, which can pollute waterways. Please use whatever you put in your sprayers in a responsible and environmentally friendly manner!

I bought this to dose herbicide over a lawn so I wouldn't have to walk around with a pump sprayer, so I needed something that was fairly accurate at dosage per gallon dispensed. Ultimately the decision came down to reviews and this had the overall best reviews. I'll clarify something I didn't see on any review and a major question I had. The dial on the side of the unit that dictates the dosing rate is in oz/gallon of water. This isn't explicit in the product instructions BUT if you buy Ortho's Weed B-gon concentrate product it says to dose at 2.5oz per gallon (if using in a pump sprayer) or if using the Dial N Spray, set the dial to 2.5oz. Having an easy to set dosing rate in oz per gallon is FAR easier than guessing or doing some sort of experiment. So far no issues. I suspect people with leaking issues are not using a gasket for the hose connection, aren't screwing the sprayer completely onto the hose, or are not properly supporting the hose connection. You can't fill the unit then use the hose to support its weight, you also shouldn't use the handle on the unit to pull the hose. The hose connection isn't intended to support any kind of tension.

For people with larger than postage stamp yards this is so easy to use. I use it fro all of my spraying for the lawn and gardeen and its dials make mixing easy and safe. Easy to clean. Significant improvement over previous sprayers I've had!

Works incredibly well

Leaks really badly, needs an extra adapter to use in the UK, expensive, took 3 weeks to arrive - in all, a waste of money. I wish I had read the reviews more thoroughly before I bought it. Unfortunately, I didn’t test it out until the return date had passed, otherwise it would have gone back!

Once I got the unit sealed it is fantastic but it tool a lot of experimenting and plumbers tape to stop it from leaking. It didn't come with a click on hose connector.

Really leaks badly. Cannot be used. Sent back for a refund

Not worth the money crap found one a lot cheaper which works a lot better
