    Triple rinse it should be fine.. just be aware of what you will do with the liquid

    triple shake & rinse, including spraying to empty/clean out pipes/nozzles. You'll need a safe area to spray, perhaps some shingle. Only needs a couple of litres of water in an 18L tank repeated 3 times.

    Going forward, it's nice to have spearate sprayers for lawns and non-lawn.

      Cheers guys just wanted to be safe.... yes multiple sprayers is the way to go,  have 3 berthouds..total..selective..iron but only one working at the moment need to get some service kits for them....

    Also.. hypochlorite can react with other chemicals (as its a strong acid) and you can potentially create noxious gases or carconogenic vapours etc.  So never just mix stuff if you dont know its safe..

    Have you done PA1 , PA6 ?

    Buy another knapsack sprayer Mark.  They last years and having two will save time and worry.
