  • Page 9 Cleaning the Hydroseeder The final step in hydroseeding is cleaning the unit. Fill the tank with 25-50% of its capacity with water. You may find it beneficial to wash any remaining hydroseed off of the inside of the tank. Start the pump and let the system agitate. This will clean the mulch out of the agitation lines.
