No, it is threaded. Wind****eld washer jugs work. I got about 3 gallons
out of the original batteries. It is definitely for spot treatment
thought. Spraying for whitefly infestation in the garden did not cut
it and I went back to the pump up kind. Spot spraying weedbegone in the
lawn was good except for bending a bit too much. It allows me to use
minimal amounts because after a week or so I see what I hit and what I
did not and can get the rest. Then if more popup it is close by and
convenient. Much better than the trigger pumpers.
