No New Posts Ammonyx Lo pricing? I want to buy about 20 gallons to test out on some jobs, what is the 20 gallon price discount??
 
(Preview)
I got 1 gallon at around $16.00 or so, but that was not enough to get a real feel for how well it works on a number of different roofs. I PM'd Lori 6 days ago, but maybe it didn't go through or something? No reply yet? Anyone know what the Ammonyx Lo costs for 20 gallons? I'm right here in Florida too. Thanks
