Tank Cleaner Select™ assists with reducing or eliminating chemical residues from mix tanks and spray equipment. Reduce the chances of cross contamination which could lead to reduced efficacy and other unwanted application results. The extreme alkalinity of Tank Cleaner Select works to dissolve acid active ingredients efficiently. Extend the life expectancy of your equipment by thoroughly removing these and other corrosive materials.
Follow the cleaning instructions of the equipment manufacturer and the active ingredient label. If the manufacturer’s instructions are not available, use the following method:
- Clean as soon as possible after field use.
- Clean equipment near an area where the rinsate can be safely disposed.
- To prevent cross contamination between tank mixes, focus on cleaning all parts of the spray equipment, surfaces and measuring gear.
- Strainers should be inspected for clogs that can create pressure variability and spraying inaccuracy.
- Wear the same PPE as required by the most restrictive label.
For small tanks such as backpack sprayers:
Add about 1 ounce of Tank Cleaner Select for each gallon of water. Shake sprayer to cover all surfaces several times. Pour out water and repeat as needed. Rinse several times with fresh water until all signs of cleaning agent, such as foaming, are gone.
For large tanks:
Use about 1 quart Tank Cleaner Select per 400 gallons of water. Hard-to-eliminate residues, such as 2,4-D or dicamba may require increased amounts of Tank Cleaner Select, overnight soaking or repeated rinsing to completely eliminate these stubborn residues. Add rinse water, then tank cleaner, at an amount adequate for cleaning. Turn on circulation and allow to run for 10 to 15 minutes and then purge hoses, lines screens and nozzles for at least one minute or remove and clean separately. After cleaning, empty the system and completely flush all components with water.
HARD TO CLEAN RESIDUES AND RINSATE TESTING: Some residues, such as those from 2,4-D and dicamba, may be hard to remove. Carryover of these actives could injure certain crops if not thoroughly removed. It is recommended after cleaning that the rinse water be tested on sensitive plants to make sure enough residue has been removed. Apply rinse water directly to plants and observe for wilting or other stress. If damage occurs, repeat the cleaning process and retest.
