Hand pump garden sprayer 1 litre EPOCA Solare 1.5 for plant care

The 1 litre hand pump garden sprayer EPOCA Solare 1.5 works by manual pressurisation. A lever on the cap builds pressure inside the tank before spraying begins. Total tank volume is 1300 ml, while the usable filling volume is 1000 ml. The remaining 300 ml serve as the air chamber. Jet width is set by turning the finned nozzle tip, from a fine mist to a narrower stream.

Among pressure sprayers in this class, the Solare body is the slimmest in shape. The shell is opaque white, yet the liquid level inside stays visible. The pump head is made for spraying insecticides, fertilisers, plant protection agents, herbicides, preservatives and cleaning liquids for plants and vehicles. All of these must be diluted with water first. Industrial chemicals, acids and corrosive media are outside the scope of use.

Technical build of the 1 litre hand pump garden sprayer Solare 1.5

Tank body and pump handle

The tank measures 110 mm in diameter and 310 mm in height, and weighs 376 g empty. Four feet are moulded in one piece with the base, so the bottle stands upright while being filled. The pump handle is reinforced plastic that does not rust, with a 12 mm shaft and a 90 mm stroke. Pressure is raised by working the lever until resistance is felt.

• Tank capacity: 1300 ml
• Usable volume: 1000 ml
• Body diameter: 110 mm
• Height: 310 mm
• Empty weight: 376 g
• Pump handle: reinforced plastic, non-rusting, 12 mm
• Handle stroke: 90 mm
• Base: four feet moulded with the body

The slim profile helps when the sprayer is carried between rows of pots or stored on a shelf. Because the wall is translucent, the operator can check how much solution is left without opening the cap. The moulded feet also keep the base stable on a bench during mixing. Refilling is done through the pump head opening after the residual pressure is released.

Spray control and locking

Jet size is regulated at the nozzle tip, which carries fins for grip while turning. The pump is triggered by the lever arm. A latch can be engaged to keep the spray running continuously, so the finger does not have to hold the trigger. A second lock secures the pump handle when the sprayer is not in use or is being moved.

• Adjustable jet through finned nozzle tip
• Lever-arm pump activation
• Latch for continuous spraying
• Lock for the pump handle
• Media: water and fertiliser solutions below 30 °C
• Operating temperature: 5 °C to 30 °C

Continuous spraying suits longer passes over foliage, while short bursts work better for spot treatment. Setting a finer mist reduces run-off on leaves; a narrower jet reaches further into a shrub. Keep liquid temperature under 30 °C, since warmer solutions raise internal pressure. Release pressure before unscrewing the head.

Common applications

Typical tasks include misting houseplants, spraying diluted fertiliser in greenhouses and treating garden beds with plant protection agents.

The sprayer also handles herbicide application on small plots and preservative coatings on wood or metal parts. Car care workshops use it for diluted cleaning solutions on bodywork, wheels and interiors. Nurseries and balcony gardens benefit from the 1 litre filling volume, which keeps the unit light enough for one-hand use over longer sessions.

Catalog notes on use and servicing

Rinse the sprayer with clean water after every use. Do not leave the tank pressurised for long idle periods. Keep the unit out of direct sunlight and away from freezing temperatures. Operate only between 5 °C and 30 °C. Seals should be greased with petroleum jelly and stored within the permitted temperature range. Replacement parts are available as Service Kit groups listed in the documentation supplied with the sprayer.
