I know that Iām a bit late to the party, but thanks for this threadā¦
a cheap tool box to switch out broken piecesā¦
I like the term KISSā¦ our setup is very simple ( mind you we dont do many roofs, we are growing but now 1 / day is max)
50 gallon drum for mix,
110v chemical diaphragm 5gpm pump,
4ft of rubber hose dropped into the drum for suction.
75ft of 3/4 garden hose
150 ft of 5/8" garden hose
spray wand
drill ( to loosen down spouts)
5 gallon buckets to collect downspouts
also have ~200 feet of blue 3" hose to divert runnof
330 gallon tote ( that we also use for the PW) connected to a cheap 2" chemical / clear water pump
connected to 2 - 200 foot garden hoses for watering plants. - been to too many houses were their water supply suckedā¦ this way the guys will always have plenty of water.
Wellā¦you cant build it for as cheap as you can buy one pre-made. Iām as diy as it gets and looked at a lot of options before buying a ready made solution that included the on off switch already mounted to a battery box, inline fuse, battery connections, hose barb connections to the pump, 200ā hose, gun, nozzles, chem strainer on the inlet sideā¦that just about covers it I think. Oh and a deep cycle marine grade battery with 600+ cca from Wal-Mart. I use Roof Snot surfactant. Chem tank premixed with hopefully just enoughā¦I donāt like to have any left over so i try to cut it close. Once you mix that much snot into the mix its not really awesome for house wash. A few 15 gallon tanks that are 1/3 full of sh just in case I need to mix some extra last minute (again, I cut it close so I donāt have left overs). Water hose. I have the poly braid hose that I have fitted with 1/2 in cam locks so after I clean out the line I just disconnect it and roll it up on a plastic water hose reel. Maybe Iāll get more fancy when I start doing more roofs. I like the 5850 because you donāt have to have an accumulator to use smaller spray tips just in case you want to use the pump to spray other chems.
A good sub!!!
I recently picked up the Polly 5/8 Pump Kit from Pressure Tek too include the Battery Upgrade ā¦ Came with mostly every thing need (minus battery and drum)
