Why It’s Important to Triple Rinse?

A triple rinse container reduces the risk to human and animal health and the environment. Each rinse reduces the amount of active ingredient (ai) that remains in the container to a safer level. Invert the container over the mixing or sprayer tank and allow it to drain for at least 30 seconds after the flow has slowed down to a drip. Rinse each container immediately after draining and add the rinse water to the mixing or sprayer tank.

Containers must be punctured after rinsing.

How to “triple rinse” empty containers:

  1. Add water to about a quarter full.
  2. Close the container and shake well.
  3. Drain the rinse water into the holding tank of the pesticide applicator.
  4. Repeat this rinsing procedure two more times.
  5. The concentration of the pesticide in the rinse water should decrease from: 4 000 ppm to 40 ppm with the second rinse.
  6. Non-detectable levels with the third rinse.
  7. Puncture the container after the third rinse.
