Sprayer recommendations

I ordered some stuff from the pond guy to try and take care of the tank we got. Problem is I need a sprayer for this shore line defense. The mix ratio is 8oz Shore Line Defense with 4oz Treatment Booster Plus to 2 gal of water.

Im looking at 2 gallon sprayers but nothing is really stating if the 2 gallon sprayers are like gas cans and will hold more than 2 gallons or if they are exactly 2 gallons.

Like wise I am looking for one that is cheap but dependable, preferably with a strap. Don't need a bunch of adjustments as this stuff you spray with fairly low pressure in a stream to drench the plants to kill it.

I am looking at the 2 gallon Rainmaker on amazon with strap but a good amount of recent reviews are about failures of the product after 1 use. But still has 3 1/2 stars with 236 reviews.

None the less I want to ask what sprayer would everyone recommend that isn't insane price wise that has a capacity of 2+ gallons?

I would go this route. This is a cheap backpack sprayer but I'd get a backpack rather than a carry type because 2+ gallons of chemical/water = 16+ lbs to carry. And the 4 gallon capacity is nice if you have more spraying to do

Thanks for the link I will keep that in mind. I ended up with a 3 gallon rainmaker sprayer as it was fairly cheap via amazon prime. Everything I was finding over 2 gallons wasn't local and couldn't get it by Friday. This one has some reviews about not lasting but if it gives me trouble I will pick up that 4 gallon one above. Might get it anyways as I might need to mix a double mixture if it turns out a single mix is not enough.
