Hi Everyone. I am a newbie here. I am starting a roof cleaning business in Michigan. I see lots of roofs in my area with stains. I am trying to find if there is something out there that will work like the applesauce mixture,
but without the sodium hypochlorite, TSP,. Where I live, according to my local DEQ, this is a no go.
Any info would be helpful.

Low Pressure Washing

After 20 years of washing I quit a couple years ago. Now after some people asking me to clean their home I'm considering starting back. I am very impressed with the sharing of information and (for me) new ways of doing things. I am very intrested in cleaning my roof. I'm trying to understand the Delevan pump, hose size and tips. What kind of tips are these? What size tank would be needed to clean 2200 sq.ft. home? One more question, On You Tube I watched someone rinse with a ball valve. Could ...

Dual Delavans

Mike Sullivan — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 16:18:47 GMT

Here's a good post I wanted to revive from PWI back in 3/07 There is a very fine line when operating dual 12V Delavan 5gpm 60psi pumps. I tried multiple combinations of hose size, length, nozzles, guns and figured out the best combination for running one or two pumps together in tandem. I talked to Bob with Pressure Tek at the NC round table and he says that the 5850 Delavans are no longer available to adjust to 100psi. They are fixed at 5gpm 60psi. The most each pump will output ...

I read an entry in these topics somewhere about using Calcium Hypochlorite as a substitute for Sodium Hypochlorite to reduce cleaning costs and eco impact of run-off/overspray areas. I'm interestd in your experience with this and the cost savings and cleaning results. Thanks.

Hose reel swivel

Mike Sullivan — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 16:21:28 GMT

Chris, does Titan make a plastic hose reel swivel larger than 1/2"?

I would need at least 3/4" for my Dual Delavans. They don't have enough pressure to both run through 1/2".

1" would also work, just put some reducer bushings on it.

Reason I ask because I took my stainless steel 3/4" swivel off yesterday and it is really rusty inside.

Olympic Mildew Check

Mike Sullivan — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 18:50:24 GMT

Looks like an overpriced marketing scam, kind of like Jomax.

I've tried Jomax, and it doesn't do much.

Time for a new hose

Mike Sullivan — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 21:29:02 GMT

I just bought a new 3/4" Blue Kuri-Tec Thermoplastic PVC hose today from my local rubber products store. This hose looks TOUGH! I bet I'll get much more life out of this than my old Neverkink hose. Going to break 'er in tomorrow, got a tough roof to tackle. Light grey 20 year old roof, never been cleaned, both sides are hideous, especially the north side. It's going to take a LOT of bleach on this one. I'll probably go through about 50 gallons of roof mix. Here's the link to my ...

Hose diameter flow test

Mike Sullivan — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 23:14:43 GMT

Here is my favorite post from Tim Aselton Softwashing from Tallahasee, FL. I ran some tests last weekend on my pump with three different diameter hoses to see just what I could get at the end of 200'. The tests were done to maximize my efficiency and not for starting up more "hose wars". The pump pulled water from a supply tank and was attached to each line via a 3/4" x 4' supply hose coming directly out of the pump. The pump open flowed 14 gpms and had a "static" ...

12 Volt Pumps

Here's a post to revive from the Grimescene back in 1/07 Here are my experiences with 12V and 115V pumps 1) 12V Shurflo 1.8gpm 60psi. Weakest pump I have used. Painfully slow, does not draw well or shoot very far. 2) 12V Shurflo 1.5gpm 150psi Good pump. Good for decks, fences, trim around houses, small touch up roofs jobs while washing a house, pumps well through 200ft 3/8" hose. Too slow for entire roofs. 3) 115V Shurflo 3.3gpm 50psi. Ok pump, I used it a little while for roofs, ...

Roof Cleaning...........sky lights

Charliespw — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 13:17:14 GMT

I recently gave an estimate on a home that had black algae streaks. I noticed that the black streaks " ran " down the roof. and also under the skylight. This was unusual for me,because the streaks always went around the sides of the skylights caused by rain flow,leaving the underneath part of the skylight roof clean. I soft washed the roof,picking up the house next door that was the exact same style with the skylight in the same position and the same streak pattern. After both jobs ...

Homemade machine and a few questions

Jason — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 01:49:36 GMT

I have all my parts collected for building my new "Roof Machine". Currently, I have the Delavan 5800, 200' of 1/2" hose as my roof machine. I am building a 5hp, 4 roller pump that will give me 9gpm and 200psi. I am looking for hose size recommendations. I'm thinking 3/4" would work good. The pump outlets, plumbing, by-passes are all 3/4", so I really don't see going down in size as an option. What do you guys think?
