Roundup Sprayer - can I use it for other spraying?

lanod2407 · 2010-06-08 21:57:10

I've a knapsack sprayer that I use for spraying Roundup - can I use it for other spraying requirements or will the Roundup contaminate the next spray? I'd plan to flush out the lines and rinse the sprayer several times - would this work?

Should work yeah once the lines are flushed also/nozzles rinsed, I've done it plenty of times without any ill effects.

Rinse it with clean water 3 or 4 times it will be fine. If you want to be really sure mix a bit of washing soda in hot water and spray it out
