This NorthStar Skid Sprayer comes with an agitator that will send the flow from the pump back to the tank. This flow agitates the fluid in the tank and keeps the chemicals well mixed. This has a 4.8 horsepower GX160 engine. This unit does come with an "electric" rewind hose reel.

For storage in temperatures below freezing this sprayer will need to be winterized. The winterizing procedure can be found on page 31 of the product manual. The product manual is available on .pdf format on the bottom of the product page.

The pump on this sprayer will provide 11 gallons per minute maximum. There is an adjustable "unloader" valve to reduce pressure.

Question

Can this handle Sodium Hypochlorite?

Looking at this as a roof cleaning setup. So I'd need 300-500 ft hose and it would need to be able to handle SH. Doable? Or do you have a way to get me where I'm trying to be? Also is there a wand that will let this shoot aprox 30 ft, instead of broadcasting?

No, this NorthStar sprayer is not capable of spraying Sodium Hydrochloride and we do not offer a unit capable at this time.

The larger sprayers that we sell come with 150 feet of hose and we do not offer any custom lengths.

I do not have any reference for your specific application.
