This sprayer features ultra-low volume (ULV) spraying and electrostatic technology. ULV equipment is designed to produce very small droplets, thus ensuring even coverage with low volumes. The tiny droplets are electrostatically charged when sprayed, and provide a thin, uniform coat over the applied surface. Historically, this combined technology has been used by farmers to spray pesticides.
A spray gun, spray wand, and three nozzles are included with your purchase. The three nozzles are interchangeable and connect to the tip of the spray wand. The spray wand is technically referred to as a spray boom. You can connect either the spray wand or spray gun to the tank's hose. The large tank can hold up to 4.22 gallons (16 liters) of liquid solution.
This sprayer is cordless, making it portable and tangle-free. This machine uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery as a power source. A battery and charger are included with your purchase as well.
Its spray range is approximately 8 feet while using the spray wand and approximately 20 feet while using the spray gun. This allows you to quickly spray a large area in a short period. Electrostatic sprayers easily outperform other sprayers, misters, and foggers.
This electrostatic sprayer is user-friendly and it will be easy to train others on how to use it.
Viaclean Technologies manufactures hospital-grade disinfectants that can be used with this sprayer. These disinfectants are safe, unscented, colorless, and can be applied to a variety of surfaces. Click on the links below to be directed to their listings on the Rehabmart website.

How to avoid a Static Shock and why Electrostatic Sprayers generate static electricity:
Electrostatic Sprayers work by producing or activating an electrostatic charge to the water ion (ie: the disinfectant solution has water in it). An ion is a charged atom or molecule.
The Electrostatic Sprayer is doing what it is designed to do when it activates water ions with a positive static charge.
If you feel a mild electrostatic shock upon activating your nozzle, this is normal and it is not harmful.
To prevent the user from feeling a mild static discharge (which is normal and harmless, like touching a door knob in winter), wear gloves (rubber, latex, vinyl) when using the sprayer.
The factory engineers have been consulted, and these electrostatic sprayers are operating normally.
The Science: Most electrostatic sprayers generate positively charged particles, because most surfaces are negatively charged. The theory is that the positively charged particles will stick to most surfaces that are negatively charged. (As a side note, the earths surface is negatively charged.) Electrostatic sprayers are designed to generate positively charged ion-mist particles. These particles then repel each other and have a better chance to stick to something else. This is the law of opposite attraction.
