Roof Cleaning Spray Gun

Jul 17, 2009

No, I haven't. I looked it up, it is too expensive, and not as chemical resistant as a good 'ol plain 3/4" PVC ball valve.

The gun is also only 1/2" which will not give you as much flow as a 3/4" PVC or Poly ball valve.

I used the galaxie as a trial today and have some pros and cons. First, I use 5/8 hose with a ball valve. I have always had problems with over spray. What I like about the galaxie is the choice of patterns. Yes it did take a little bit longer to cover the roof however I think I will Keep it for those steep roofs where roof contact is important. I will continue to use my ball valve on walkable roofs however it is nice to not have to worry about overspray. Now the cons. I had to respray several areas. But it wasn't that big of a deal. I also had to reduce my couplings to 1/2 inch. I was able to find adaptors that will make it easy to switch back to my 5/8
