I dunno. Maybe it was about £12 for the sprayer, but all the bits
were junkbox items so I was inclusing having to buy them


Reckon I paid about £7 for my sprayer, add say £1 for 15mm x 8mm s/r fitting
reducer (the bulge of the s/r on the 8mm end helps hold the sprayer pipe),
another quid for an all-plastic s/f tap connector to go onto a filling loop
connection, and 1p for a cable tie to hold the pipe onto the reducer.

A cable tie? (sharp intake of breath).


I must admit that when I made mine I was looking to do more than just
deliver inhibitor into an unpressurised system.

For my workshop secondary circuit, I've used Fernox's Alphi11
inhibitor and antifreeze at an approx dilution of 30%. This
stuff is about £15 a container, so it added up to £60 worth of
chemical.

If I need to drain for any reason, I don't want to have to replace
this for a while. So I can drain to a set of 25 litre containers.
I can refill most of the system using a simple pump, up to the point
that pressurisation is needed. I use the sprayer accessory to
finally pressurise the system, which it will do, to over 2 bar, if you
pump hard enough.
