Here is a video of me using my new soft-wash system I got from Ben at Rutland Pumps as requested by one or two people.

Sprayed just over 40m of 5 foot high fencing in about 4mins so not bad, would have taken me an hour or more with my backpack sprayer.
Used a 2% approx Hypo mix with no surfactant, there isnt really any problem with the hypo not sticking to a dry fence. The fence just absorbs it.
The only issue I had with setting up the system out of the box was clamping the 20bar hose to the lance/ tap assembly. The regular hose clamps provided didn't quite tighten down enough meaning a few leaks. A quick trip to Halfords to get a couple of fuel line hose clamps did the trick.
I will post a few pics of the set up itself over the next few days if anyone is interested.
