CAN YOU USE ANY TYPE OF "WATER"?
Permalink  
 


hey guys!! I'm not a master here but I found out that you just can't use " WATER" from any place for our ROOF CLEANING CHEMICLE. what I'm saying is that if you use water from a well without softining (here in NJ we have alot of IRON in the water that is pull from wells ) as soon as you mix the SHC into the tank the chemicle will start working cleaning the IRON or others Bacterias that may be in the WATER and by time you get to the job your chemicle will not have the same power as if had use CITY WATER.
the same if you use water from a LAKE!! lakes have alot of alge and bacterias. so WATER DOES MATTER IN OUR ROOF CLEANING CHEMICLE!!

Amen Juarez , well water has a lot of iron stick with the city water if you can sometimes when you rinse(if you rinse)when using well water you may see brown coloring on the roof that goes away when it rains

Thanks for the post Juarez. I live out of town and have a well, and I hadn't considered that as a problem. A lot of the houses I hope to treat are out of town on wells, so if I rinse and still have brown, I wouldn't have had a clue why until now. If I notice it as a problem, I will get a large tank and fill it in town and then mix my chemicals at home using that water.

What is the ideal water PH for mixing with SH ? Rain water is 5.6 PH which is ideal for rinsing, is this also ideal for mixing ? I talked to a pool supplier and he says a ph of 7.2- 7.8 makes the clorine more effective. I tested my water, which is well water and levels were below 6.0, not sure of actual because test kit only went as low as 6.0. If PH needs to be adjusted can sodium carbonate be used to raise PH, or sodium bisulphate to lower PH of water before mixing with SH ?
