Pramitol 25E is a known leecher but how far it will depends on the amount of rain the area receives in a year. We would recommend not applying but you will need to stay at least 10 feet away, if not more depending on the slope of your property and how much rain is expected.
When using Pramitol 25E Herbicide, you actually want it to rain. This product will not provide herbicidal action in the treated area unless application is immediately followed by watering the area with at least ¼" of water or application of the product just prior to a rain event sufficient to penetrate to the root system of the target vegetation.
Yes, rainfall or watering in the Pramitol 25E after the application is recommended to help push the product deeper in the soil, which will increase the effectiveness towards the root system. If you have any other questions about Pramitol 25E, we recommend going over the product label

You would want either to water in the Pramitol 25E right away or use a higher volume of water to spray it so that it gets into the soil. Waiting several months to water the product into the ground will greatly reduce the residual activity of this product. You should use 50-100 gallons of water per Acre, or at least 1-3 gallons of water per 1000 sq ft. Additional rainfall or irrigation will improve results. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.
We would recommend to use a high volume of water when applying Pramitol 25E, or to water in within 24 hours. Pramitol is a total vegetation killing product and will eliminate anything growing where you spray it. The Pramitol will keep anything new from growing in the treated areas for up to 1 year. Caution should be used during application as some leaching in the soil could occur and destroy nearby desirable vegetation and turfs. The Pramitol needs to be mixed at the rate of 8 ounces per each gallon of water at the lowest dilution and can be used up to 32 ounces per gallon for harder to kill brush. Time of plant death will depend on how much product is absorbed through the root system, if it is irrigate after application and if the plant is under any stress to cause it to not absorb the product as quickly. It could be days or weeks before complete death is visible in the weeds you are treating. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Please see the product label for complete application directions.
Once a soil sterilizer like Pramitol 25E has been applied there is not much you can do to reverse the effects other than to dig out any dirt that has the product in it and replace it with clean untreated soil and replant grass in those areas. Watering it likely pushed it into the soil more as this product is designed to be watered in after application to make it work appropriately and last a long time in the soil. Since its main function is to prevent new grasses and plants in general from coming up from the soil, its slower to work on anything already growing on the surface. It could cause the grass to die in a few days or in a week or two depending on how heavily it was applied. Since a lower use rate of 2oz per gallon was used it may not last as long as if higher rates were applied. You may want to contact a lawn company and see if they have any flowable charcoal they can come spray on the lawn to try and break down the chemical or if they feel it would do any good.
