Chapin 20 Gallon Hose End Lawn Sprayer (G390) can be used with Fertilizers, Weed & Feed, Fungicides, and Herbicides. We would not advise on using it to apply Talstar or any other products not labeled to be used in a hose end sprayer. Talstar P and many similar professional grade products are very thick concentrates and do not necessarily work well in a hose-end sprayer.
Per the manufacturer, the hole on top of the Chapin 20 Gallon Hose End Lawn Sprayer (G390) allows air to go in so that it will syphon properly.
Unfortunately there is no clear way to answer this to due varying factors such as the water pressure from the hose, the rate of how fast you walk and if you are spaying the foliage of plants, bushes, trees or broadcast spraying over lawn areas.
Each fill up should only take a few minutes to empty (depending on the walking pace) so if you feel you are having problems with the Chapin 20 Gallon Hose End Lawn Sprayer (G390) please contact Chapin directly at 800-950-4458 to troubleshoot with their Customer Service Team.
