Cleaning solution experiment. I need help!
Permalink  
 


We are a newer Michigan based company. We are having a hard time finding a supplier of Sodium Hypochlorite. We have been forced to use regular Bleach as a mixing agent. It seems to be working well, But as I understand it a 26% solution is much more effective. Any advise. Also we are looking for feedback on differnt types of sprayers to apply the solution. Are you guys using custom made sprayers or skid type sprayers.

Hello Mike, Welcome to the Board. Use the search feature for this site. It will be your best friend in finding any info you are looking for. Read, Read, Read..... there is a world of info here.

As far as your question regarding the pump or sprayer, do a search on 12v pumps, and AOD pumps. There are many different options, and everyone has their own preference. There really is no right or wrong pumping system. Each one has its own pros and cons, like cost, ease of use, maintenance etc. Good luck with your new business venture.

Chris

Welcome Mike, You have come to the best non pressure roof cleaning site there is. As far as SH try what I did ,,I contacted local water treatment plant and they gave me a number that they get it from. Then I found a vendor that supplies laundry mats, dry cleaners and other commerical businesses with caustics.. Best I can do for you buddy.. Good Luck,, oh you can search univar sites to see if one is near you but I have found their prices all over the place<differ from place to place >
May you be Blessed by the roof cleaning GOD

Greetings:

I personally have and am using PVC  1/4 in tubing with a specialized plastic tip form Spray Master in conjuntion with a PVC ball valve...

Google spray tips and find a Home Depot or Lows for your PVC and your in business...

Do a Google Search for any pool supply company in your area... I no  longer have to travel from Memphis, across the bridge to West Memphis. I buy my SHC from a pool supply company locally here in Memphis...Same stuff! Same SHC! In fact it is a better grade than what I was getting prior.

Hey! When you can't find something. Google is your friend! Do a local search for anything! I mean anything. If it is out there Google will find it!

Regards,

Welcome Mike. I am in Michigan also. I have contacted Univar, i Grand Rapids, Found out it all depends on who you talk to there, if they will let you buy from them. I was told no, then told yes by a different person, went to pick some up, and told no again. I found a pool supply service that is selling to me at the same price.
