- Agitate for 5-10 minutes.
- Charge the lines until white foam is completely out of the lines. Tum off lines.
- Check the large filter canister and screen to see how badly calcified it is. Check at least four of the nozzle tips to see how clogged up they are. If the canister and screen or the nozzle tips are severely clogged, remove and place in a clean plastic bucket of water with 3 ounces of SilaKate added to 3 gallons of water. Leave overnight. Next morning, hand rinse and reattach.
- Let cleaning mixture sit overnight in sprayer tank.
