Cleaning Liquid Fertilizer Tanks

Although the tanks are made of a highly durable and corrosion resistant plastic, proper maintenance is required.

Rinse the tank with water when changing from one solution to another.

Rinse tank thoroughly with water after each season or before any shutdown lasting over one week.

Do not allow sludge to accumulate in the bottom of the tank.

Do not leave fertilizer in the tanks if the temperature is expected to drop below 40 degrees as some types of liquid fertilizers will begin to crystallize at this temperature.
