True or false: An antisiphoning device must be maintained between the spray tank and water source.

An antisiphoning device is indeed a critical safety feature that must be maintained between the spray tank and the water source to prevent the backflow of contaminated water into the potable water supply. This device is required to ensure that no chemicals or pesticides can siphon back into the water supply system, which could pose significant health risks to humans and the environment.

By maintaining an antisiphoning device, practitioners help safeguard public health and comply with environmental regulations. The requirement for such a device reflects the industry’s emphasis on responsible handling of chemicals and the prevention of potential contamination events.

While there may be certain variations based on specific pesticide applications or state regulations, the fundamental requirement for an antisiphoning device remains a standard safety practice in agricultural and pesticide application activities.
