After cleaning out your sprayer with clean water, what should you do with the rinse water?

Using the rinse water instead of fresh water for a similar site is the correct approach because it minimizes waste and conserves resources. Rinse water from sprayers often contains a small amount of the chemicals used, but if you're applying to a similar type of site where the chemical residues won't cause harm or affect performance, this practice can make sense. It allows for a more sustainable process by reusing water that would otherwise be wasted.

This approach can lead to cost savings and reduce environmental impacts, since it avoids the need to use new, fresh water for every application. It's important, however, to ensure that the rinsate does not contain residues that could be detrimental to the following application, and that it aligns with any applicable regulations or best management practices in your area. This careful approach helps promote responsible chemical use and environmental stewardship.
