Step 1: Filling Up Your Tank

When your tank is appropriately installed to your skid sprayer system, you will need to first add liquid to the tank to hold your pesticides. Our sprayer tanks come with leak-proof lids with large openings which make filling easy. 

Start by filling up the sprayer halfway to its capacity with clean water, maintaing constant agitation throughout mixing. Be sure to only mix what is needed for your spray job so that your spray rig is empty at job completion.

Step 2: Add Pesticide and Mix

As the tank is agitating, add in the desired amount of your selected pesticide to the tank. Then fill the sprayer tank the rest of the way with water and allow the tank to continue to agitate until the product is well mixed with the water.

Step 3: Spray

With your skid sprayer pressurized, simply point and squeeze the trigger of your spray gun to spray the pesticide housed in the tank to the target areas.

Inspection and Maintenance

To reduce damage to your sprayer and keep your spraying rig application working smoothly, it is important to clean and maintain your sprayer tank. Perform regular checks of your spray tank to ensure that suction hose fittings remain secure, and that it remains properly and securely strapped to the sprayer's frame.

Clean your poly tank to prevent plants and target areas from being sprayed with the wrong chemical. Using the cleaning agents the pesticide manufacturer suggests, thoroughly clean out your spray tank.

1. Drain and Rinse The Sprayer Tank

After you have completed a spraying application, property drain the tank of any residual chemical in the tank. Once, empty, use a pressure washer to spray the inside of the tank.

2. Fill Tank With Cleaning Agent

After the rinse, fill the tank with clean water and add in the appropriate cleaning solution in the tank. Leave the solution in the tank for about 8 hours. This amount of time allows for the solution to remove any chemical inside the tank.

Flush out the solution after the time has passed and then give the tank one last rinsing spray and the tank should be ready for any new chemical you want to put in the tank.
