No New Posts robison pump? will it work or not?

It is a portable pump capable of 28 gpm.  I use it to feed off of 2  / 250 gal water tanks when there is not  a water supply at a  job we do.  Will this type of pump work for roof cleaning also, if I would attach a nozzle or a wand of some sort for chems?
