- Second rinse: Fill tank with clean water. Add a commercial grade tank cleaner or 1 L of household ammonia (minimum 3% ammonia) per 100 L of water and agitate and flush booms. Agitate for 15 minutes. Remove end caps or opening ball valves to flush booms and hoses after allowing cleaning solution to stand in sprayer tank and booms for several hours or overnight. Drain tank after flushing boom and hoses. Clean nozzles and screens separately with a cleaning agent or an ammonia solution.
