I have a couple of tennis courts to keep free of moss - both attract it like magnets !
My old right arm was having severe difficulty keeping up with the pumping on the 20litre CPG knapsack sprayer. I did a bit of googling and came across this from Screwfix. Wow... its fantastic, all the CPG nozzles fit (you have to use a bit of inginuity... and a double rubber washer at the business end) - ithe battery lasts fine, and its cheap. The only negative is that its now the 4th battery charger I have to carry (2 Stihls, a Dewalt and now this :( ).
I'm not sure it would survive life as well as a CPG over the long term, but if it is not thrown into the back of a van and treated with respect it looks as if it will last long enough to pay its way.....esp when you consider the hand pumped CPG sprayer is £170 a pop.
If anyone wants a pretty well new CPG 20 litre sprayer let me know

Out of interest what are you spraying to get rid of the moss, how many times a year do you apply and do you find you still need manual removal or are the chemicals good enough?
anything to make life easier im in favour of
I always find it best to strim off moss where its significantly above the surface and then spray the area. I uses BAC50 from Trade Chemicals https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232214948482?_skw=bac+50&itmmeta=01J... I get a 25 litre container which the poor delivery driver really struggles with. 1.5 litres in a a 20 litre knapsack will treat roughly 100 square metres. I just spray the surface so its completely wetted... no dry areas......... and it works pretty well staying clear for months.
Algo Clear Pro.... as has been said below you really have to wet the surface... and only do it when there is no rain or frost expected for a few days.
We use one of these https://www.progreen.co.uk/sds-algoclear-softwash-delivery-system-p... - pricey but brilliant. So much quicker to apply, no mixing and nothing heavy to carry.
