water for plants/trees or dust control, ice control chemicals, or water-based non-flammable sealants
or stains for outdoor wood surfaces. However, WE RECOMMEND THAT THE REGULATOR
NOT BE USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES ONCE IT HAS BEEN USED FOR SPRAYING
PESTICIDES. Any chemical will leave some residual in the regulator, even after the regulator has
been properly cleaned. These residual chemicals can have unexpected effects on future uses. For
example, spraying water or other liquids that are contaminated with residual pesticide may result in
unforeseen hazards to plant or animal life.
