NS-16A
Farmate
The “16” refers to its 16L optimized tank (smaller than the NS-20AS’s 20L, ideal for mid-sized tasks), while “AS” retains the popular Anti-Slip design (for wet conditions) and Ample Storage compatibility (fits in most utility carts). As part of Farmate’s “family farm” lineup, this sprayer addresses the gap between small residential sprayers (too small for large plots) and industrial models (too bulky for home use). Supplied as 1 unit, it comes pre-assembled except for the wand, and includes a detachable filter for easy cleaning. Whether you’re tending to a 300-square-meter vegetable garden, a 50-tree apple orchard, or a neighborhood park’s flower beds, the NS-16AS delivers reliable spray with the safety of anti-slip features and the convenience of a manageable size.
The 16L HDPE tank is designed for mid-sized tasks: it’s large enough to cover 350 square meters per fill (reducing refills) but small enough to carry comfortably for 45+ minutes. The tank’s shape is slimmer than the NS-20AS’s, making it easier to maneuver through narrow orchard rows or between garden beds. It includes two practical features: a built-in debris filter at the fill opening (prevents leaves or dirt from clogging the wand) and a leak-proof lid with a silicone gasket (stays sealed even when tilted). The tank’s exterior has a textured grip area, so you can hold it securely when setting it down on uneven ground (common in family farms). For users with limited storage space, the 16L size fits in most garage utility cabinets or garden shed shelves.
Building on the NS-20AS’s anti-slip design, the NS-16AS upgrades with a full anti-slip package: an anti-slip rubber pump handle (deep grooves for wet hands), a textured shoulder strap (rubberized backing that won’t slide on clothing), and anti-slip feet on the tank’s bottom (prevents tipping on wet grass or mud). The handle’s rubber grip absorbs moisture, so you won’t lose control even when spraying in early-morning dew or light rain. The shoulder strap is adjustable (fits users 150-190cm tall) and padded with foam, reducing strain on your shoulders. For landscape teams working in rainy weather or family farmers tending to irrigated plots, this all-weather safety feature eliminates the risk of drops or accidents.
Equipped with a 40cm stainless steel wand and a 3-in-1 nozzle, the NS-16AS offers mist (for broad coverage), stream (for targeted spraying), and fan (for wide, even distribution) modes. The nozzle twists to switch modes—no tools needed—and locks into place to prevent accidental changes mid-spray. The mist mode is perfect for fertilizing vegetable beds (even coverage without burning leaves), while the stream mode reaches up to 3 meters (ideal for tall orchard trees). The fan mode covers 10cm-wide swaths, making it efficient for flower beds or lawn edges. The nozzle is also detachable for deep cleaning: if it clogs (e.g., from undissolved fertilizer), simply twist it off, rinse, and reattach—takes less than 1 minute.
Family farmers with 200-400 square-meter vegetable plots (growing lettuce, beans, or potatoes) will appreciate the NS-16AS’s size. The 16L tank covers the entire plot in 1 fill (for diluted fertilizers), and the anti-slip handle ensures safe use after watering (when the ground is wet). The mist mode is gentle enough for young seedlings (prevents uprooting), while the stream mode targets weeds without harming crops. For families who garden together, the adjustable strap fits both adults and teens, making it a shared tool.
Orchard owners with 30-80 trees (peach, plum, or cherry) will benefit from the sprayer’s reach and capacity. The 40cm wand reaches the upper branches of 2.5-meter-tall trees, and the stream mode penetrates dense foliage to target pests like aphids or fruit flies. The 16L tank covers 50 small trees per fill, so you won’t need to stop mid-orchard to refill. The anti-slip feet keep the tank stable when set down on grass, so you can take breaks without worrying about tipping.
Landscape teams caring for small parks, neighborhood green belts, or HOA (Homeowners Association) flower beds will find the NS-16AS practical. Its 16L capacity covers a 300-square-meter park lawn in 1 fill, and the fan mode ensures even coverage of weed killer or lawn food. The anti-slip features are critical for teams working early mornings (when dew is heavy), and the slim tank fits in utility cart storage compartments. For teams that switch between tasks (e.g., flower beds to lawns), the multi-pattern nozzle eliminates the need for separate tools.
With a standard dilution rate (e.g., 1:10 for fertilizers), the 16L tank covers approximately 350 square meters. For more concentrated solutions (e.g., 1:50 for herbicides), coverage increases to 400-450 square meters. The exact coverage depends on the spray mode: mist uses more solution (300 square meters per tank), while stream uses less (450 square meters per tank).
The NS-16AS is water-resistant (IPX4 rating), so the anti-slip handle and strap work in light to moderate rain. However, we recommend avoiding heavy rain, as it can dilute your solution (reducing effectiveness) and make the ground too slippery to walk safely. The anti-slip feet prevent the tank from tipping on wet surfaces, but always prioritize user safety in extreme weather.
Yes, the NS-16AS’s wand uses a standard 1/4-inch thread, so you can replace it with longer wands (up to 60cm, sold separately) for taller trees. The sprayer’s pressure system works with longer wands—just note that longer wands may reduce spray distance slightly (from 3m to 2.5m with a 60cm wand). We recommend using Farmate-branded replacement wands for optimal compatibility.
Rinse the tank immediately after use: fill it with 5L of clean water, spray the water through the wand for 1 minute (to rinse the hose and nozzle), then empty. For tough residue, add 1 teaspoon of mild dish soap to the water, shake the tank gently, and spray for 1 minute. Rinse twice more with clean water to remove soap. The debris filter can be removed and rinsed under running water—this prevents residue buildup that could clog the wand.
