@softwashscience i like the way it sprays on the roof. You dont have a bunch of water coming out nor are you flooding the roof with your mix. I have a 7gpm 100psi pump and looking for the right tip for roofs...its been hell for me
@softwashscience do i add the accumulator tank after the 12v pump or before it the 12v? Where did you get yours from? I see Amazon has them but this is my first time hearing about the accumulator tank to be honest. Happy Easter
Its safer at times that way for several reasons. Your line of sight is not the only thing that keeps you safe. “They” say many things but if you follow each of them as a sheep would you will never be exceptional.
I’m sure it’s a 1530 just based on how it’s spraying. It’s definitely not a surface cleaner tip because I would never use that and it wouldn’t put out this amount of volume. This video was from four seasons ago, so I don’t even have that Jrod anymore.
That ladder looked skinny is that just from the camera or can you tell me what kind that is. Tku. What did you have the soap dial at. Hardly any run off. Nice job
I use a gas powered pump and will never waste my time using a 12v again. I do 2 story homes from the ground with no problems, plus when shopping for liability insurance, I tell them that I don't go on roofs. I may use a little more product, but it's muck quicker.
Its hard to turn out a good product without getting onto the roof and I have shot many roofs from the ground but run off is an issue especially if your using gas. I just like the 12v for this type of thing it works so good and its quiet. Then when you wash a house well bust out the 8 gpm.
@@softwashscience You can control the volume with gas pumps, plus when I gives estimates, I tell them that we don't go on roofs, and if they decide to get other estimates, make sure their insurance policies cover them walking on roofs. I always end up getting the jobs because many have insurance, but going on the roof is excluded. If the house is too tall, I refuse the job. One slip and fall, your career and life can be over. I hope you have much success.
@@softwashscience I use a curved extension wand on high houses with my pressure washer or a Stihl backpack blower with a long extension Mostly the blower, though. I'll sometimes have to use a 10 foot step ladder for some extra height. On one story homes, I pretty much do the same thing and sometimes I'll use a regular ladder and scoop out the gutters. It makes a mess, but I rinse it house off. No big deal.
230 ft of 1/2” 7gpm 60 psi fatboy pump. Honestly not a fan of this pump I think the 7gpm 100 psi is better and your able to run better tips with the 7@ 100. I just started using this one and will do some testing this winter on other pumps and share my thoughts.
@@caseypinder6990 get more information Ar45 people running 300 psi you are going to get more problem if you commercials job is good but residential not
It turns out better if its left, its faster, more profitable, cheaper for the customer, better for the roof, better for the vegetation, and basically comes with an entire list of advantages with really few disadvantages.

1530 is the best you just won’t see you guys using those because they make the pump rapid cycle. You need to get an accumulator tank.
@@softwashscience what kind of tank is that? Where do I find those tanks

@@bryanvance6629 after the pump. I got one from powerwashstore dot com. If you get the flojet accumulator it has the quick connects on it.
Never walk on a roof backwards!!!!!period

Nice work
Good job
Nice job bro do you rinse after soft wash
Nope
Thanks bro
What is the tip number you're spraying with?
Idk 1530 probably
Looking from thr grass and tress, id say you're in northern Kentucky?
Mi
How many gallons of SH did you use, also did you use any kind of surfactant.
I can’t remember and yes I used slo mo
Could you look at your tip and tell me the number? So you could be using a surface cleaner tip and not even know it

Its a stack ladder and not sure what the soap dial was set on probably about 4 though
@@softwashscience Tku. Maybe you can show it in another video. I can’t find it online anywhere. Tku

Im trying to get John blue pump gas pump 6.0 gpm at 290 psi
You thinks is better running 5/8 or 1/2 with the 7gpm 100 psi what do you think
Do you think the John blue pump is better than the comet or AR45 pumps?? I'm asking because I'm really interested in upgrading to a gas pump..thanks

I am not sure what I had it set at that day.
