Asking the Right Questions Is the First Step

Price alone hides total cost of ownership. Use these seven questions to compare micron range, power, tank size, certificates, parts, seller type, and formulation compatibility.

1. “What Micron Range Does This Unit Cover?”

Demand a documented range. Mosquito and fly programs need different bands; vague answers are a red flag.

2. “What Are Motor Power and Airflow?”

Airflow drives throw and droplet break-up. Underpowered fans struggle on wide streets or tall greenhouses.

3. “Does Tank Capacity Match My Need?”

Balance refill stops against vehicle payload. Oversized tanks waste fuel; undersized tanks kill route productivity.

4. “Which Certificates Does the Device Hold?”

Ask for CE and other documents your tender or insurer requires—then verify they match the exact model.

5. “How Long Are Parts and Technical Support Guaranteed?”

Seasonal downtime is expensive. Confirm stocked wear parts and response times in writing.

6. “Is the Seller the Manufacturer or a Dealer?”

Manufacturers can change specs and ship parts faster. Dealers can still be strong if factory-backed.

7. “Which Formulations Is It Compatible With?”

Confirm sc, ec, and wp suitability and any restrictions. Wrong chemistry damages pumps and voids warranties.
