Triple Rinsing

Maybe be proper in Colorado but I don't have the time to waste letting cleaning solution lay in the spray tank for 8 hours. Put in my Dawn, fill 1/3 full, turn on the agitation, spritz the inside well, drain and rinse twice. been doing it that way for oh, 25 years now and never had a crop damage issue. I will say the grass in the center of the driveway is brown though.:laughing:

At least it cuts down on your mowing time. ;)

I just use the same sprayer for everything. I've always just rinsed with water. Most of what I use is round up. I guess if I was spraying food that I would eat out of a garden I might worry about getting a separate sprayer.

I pull a 500 gal pto sprayer with round up or malathion, copper, or manzate.
When Im done I always rinse it with hot water. I used to spray 2000 gals in a day, but we downsized, know Im down to 500, but I still use the same method of cleaning the sprayer.

I used to use it but Dawn is much cheaper and like I said, the grass strip in my farm drive is always brown,
Dawn is useful for a lot of things. I keep a watered down bottle in my truck for washing my hands. I've even heard of people using it to do their dishes!
I don't dare read the label though as I'm sure that it must cause cancer in California.

You use the same sprayer for both though, so must be cleaning it well. What do you do with the residue?

With hot hot water, after 50 gals its clean, its an air blast sprayer, and I remove the jets and soak them too.
