Water tank baffle balls?

[chaffcutter]

Just looking at putting these in our sprayer bowser tank, but the recommended number is 1 per 40 litres, this for our 13000L tank is 325 @£7 each.

Anyone used these, can you actually physically get that many into the tank? Would any less work, or are they all or nothing? any advice would be welcome from anyone using them.

Is there a link or pictures of the baffles. Or am I just not seeing them. We have used a variety of baffles in the past.

From Enduramaxx come in two sizes 195mm or 355mm

sorry hopeless with links!

On the bigger tanks we'd normally work on 1 per 50L which would give you 260 in a 13,000L tank

are you not just increasing the risk of product getting stuck in and on the balls, and therefore risking contamination into other spray mixes. A bit of undissolved or dried on SU granule is not good if going into a sensitive crop

Do many people make up a 13000l tank mix in morning!? I don't fancy it. Would just use it for water.

I presume he means a clean water bowser.

Yes clean water only when spraying, and liquid fert so easy washout.

1 per 50 does reduce the cost a fair bit !
