Description
What is the Matabi 16L Backpack Sprayer?
The Matabi Super Agro 16 Litre Backpack Sprayer is a manual pressure sprayer built for medium-intensity spraying jobs across larger gardens, lawns and small acreages. It’s the step up from a hand-trigger bottle for anyone doing regular herbicide, fertiliser or pest control application without the ongoing cost of a powered unit.
Who it’s for
- Home gardeners with larger blocks needing more capacity and reach than a hand sprayer
- Landscapers and lawn care operators wanting a reliable manual backpack option
- Anyone applying herbicides, fertilisers or pest control over a medium-sized area
Why it works
A three-position pressure regulator keeps spray output consistent from a full tank down to empty, so coverage doesn’t taper off partway through a job. The 82cm brass lance and adjustable padded straps make it comfortable to carry and use for extended sessions, and a built-in mixer keeps chemical solutions properly blended throughout use rather than settling at the bottom of the tank.

How to Use This Sprayer
The Matabi Super Agro 16 L Sprayer is designed for simple operation and comfortable use in large garden areas. Follow these basic steps for safe and effective spraying.
Filling the tank:
Open the wide filler opening and fill the sprayer with clean water before adding any product. Use the internal mixer function to help keep solutions blended while filling.
Using the mixer:
The sprayer includes a built in mixer that helps maintain homogeneity in the tank. Light agitation during use will keep the treatment evenly mixed.
Pumping instructions:
Use the lever to build pressure steadily. Pump regularly during spraying to maintain a consistent pressure level for even coverage.
Adjusting the nozzle:
Use the brass lance and metal adjustable nozzle to switch between fine spray and wider coverage. Choose the nozzle from the included set that best suits the type of application.
Regulating pressure:
Use the pressure regulator to maintain one of the three preset pressure positions. This helps achieve a more uniform spray pattern and reduces product waste.
Cleaning after use:
Empty the tank completely and rinse with clean water. Pump and spray clean water through the lance and hose to flush internal parts. Allow the sprayer to dry fully before storing.
Best practice for spraying:
Apply treatments during calm conditions and avoid wind drift. Use steady movement for consistent coverage. Follow product labels for any chemical being applied.
Storage instructions:
Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Keep straps, seals and nozzles clean and dry. Do not store with liquid left in the tank.
FAQs
What’s the difference between the 16L and 12L Matabi backpack sprayers?
They share the same brass lance, adjustable nozzle and pressure regulator design — the main difference is tank capacity (16L vs 12L useful capacity). The 16L suits larger gardens or more frequent use where you don’t want to refill as often; the 12L is lighter to carry for smaller jobs.
What can I use this sprayer for?
It’s suited to herbicides, fertilisers and pest control products applied as a liquid spray across lawns, garden beds and small acreages. Always follow the label directions of whatever product you’re applying.
Does it come with different spray nozzles?
Yes — it includes a herbicide elbow nozzle for targeted spot spraying, a fan nozzle for wide even coverage, plus mirror and disc nozzles for other spray patterns.
How do I clean it after use?
Empty the tank fully, rinse with clean water, then pump and spray clean water through the lance and hose to flush the internal parts. Let it dry fully before storing, and avoid leaving liquid in the tank between uses.
What pressure can I expect at the nozzle?
The regulator has three settings, delivering roughly 0.7 litres per minute at 1.5 bar up to 1 litre per minute at 3 bar — enough range to switch between a fine mist and a heavier stream depending on the job.
