For decades, the stainless-steel pump-up sprayer has been a staple in the pest control industry. Its durability is legendary, but the physical toll of manual pumping is equally well-known. As professional service providers look for ways to increase efficiency and reduce technician fatigue, the transition to battery-powered equipment has become more than just a trend—it is a necessity for staying competitive.
Enter the FlowMate™ Battery-Powered Pump Attachment by FlowZone®. Specifically engineered to transform traditional B&G® 1-gallon and 2-gallon pump cans into fully automatic, pressurized systems, the FlowMate™ offers the perfect bridge between classic reliability and modern innovation.
It's Time To "Dump The Pump™"
The most immediate benefit of the FlowMate™ is the elimination of manual pumping. In a high-volume service environment, a technician might pump their sprayer hundreds of times a day. This repetitive motion leads to arm fatigue, decreased productivity, and long-term strain.
By integrating an 18V battery-powered diaphragm pump directly onto your existing canister, the FlowMate™ takes over the heavy lifting. With the simple flip of a switch, your sprayer is ready to spray. This allows professionals to focus entirely on the precision of their application rather than the mechanics of maintaining pressure.
Unmatched Precision with Consistent Pressure
One of the primary challenges with manual pump sprayers is pressure drop. As the liquid level decreases and the air pocket expands, the pressure fluctuates, leading to inconsistent spray patterns and uneven chemical distribution. This often results in over-application in some areas and under-application in others, leading to chemical waste and potential callbacks.
The FlowMate™ solves this by delivering a steady, consistent 24 psi. This constant pressure ensures:
- Uniform Coverage: Every drop is applied with the same force, creating a predictable spray pattern.
- Reduced Overspray: By maintaining the ideal pressure for indoor treatments, you minimize the risk of chemical drifting where it isn't wanted.
- Professional Results: Consistent application is the hallmark of a professional service, ensuring that treatments are effective the first time.
Designed forA Professional Workflow
FlowZone® understands that professional equipment must be as versatile as the people using it. The FlowMate™ was designed with several key features that cater to the realities of the field:
1. Seamless B&G® Compatibility
The FlowMate™ is not a generic accessory. It is specifically engineered to fit 1-gallon and 2-gallon B&G® stainless-steel tanks. It mounts securely, maintaining the professional look and feel of your trusted equipment while adding less than 4 pounds to the overall weight.
2. Manual Bypass Capability
Reliability is paramount. If you ever find yourself between charges or need to perform a quick manual application, the FlowMate™ features a manual bypass. You can refill or pump manually without having to remove the attachment, ensuring you are never sidelined on a job site.
3. Long-Lasting Battery Life
Powered by an 18V/2.6Ah lithium-ion battery, the FlowMate™ provides over 2 hours of continuous spraying on a single charge (that's up to 46 gallons on one charge!). For most professionals, this translates to days of intermittent treatments, providing the freedom to move from account to account without worrying about power.
Why the FlowMate™ Wins for Your Business
Investing in the FlowMate™ is about more than just convenience; it is about optimizing your business operations. By reducing the time spent pumping and ensuring a more efficient use of chemicals, you can increase the number of stops per day and improve your bottom line.
Whether you are performing indoor pest control treatments or targeted landscaping applications, the FlowMate™ provides the "Pump Assist" needed to elevate your service. It allows you to keep the classic equipment you trust while benefiting from the same technology found in our Pro-Series backpack sprayers.
If you are looking for a complete standalone solution, you might also consider the Storm™ 1-Gallon or Storm™ 2-Gallon SwapTank™ sprayers. However, for those who swear by their B&G® cans, the FlowMate™ is the ultimate upgrade.
