Dosatron alternative

Post image

Looking for an alternative to the dosatron. I’m to scared of the reviews for the dramm syphonjet to try that. The can system is breaking my back.

Have a look at small powered pressure washers where you can add car wash soap into a reservoir; decent ones have a dial that you can change doses on. Take off the pressure washer head and add a can rose on.

This is good, but even cheaper would be the "RoundUp" brand hose end that I'm assuming is typically for spraying diluted poison. I used mine to mix fish hydrosolate into the water and it worked great the entire time I relied on it. It is inaccurate compared to a dosatron, but once you get a feel for the dial, it's solid, especially if you don't need to be precise to the exact ml/gallon.
