I was at  HD today and noticed they had 5/8 goodyear rubber hose for $25 per 50ft.  Would it be a waste to buy this for spraying roofs?

Try ebay, I have seen plenty of different 508 hoses on there and the prices seem reasonable. Thanks, Doug

Get the Red 5/8 Kuri Tec Hose from Lori at Pressure Washer Supply.
Rubber hose will work, but not as long as real chem hose.
5/8 is noticeably better then 1/2 inch hose.
We use big hose for a reason, it sprays better !
It also has less friction/pressure loss, so it will shoot a stream of chemical farther too.
REAL Roof Cleaners use 5/8 or larger Hose.
Ever see a Fire man with 1/2 inch hose ???
NOT

This is the hose you want amd shipping is only 9.00 http://kscdirect.com/search_results.php?q=k1134-10x300

Always remember, the shorter and the bigger the hose is, the better.
This is not pressure washing, we are not pulling around corners.
Seldom do we need much over 200 feet in Florida.
That extra 100 feet can really cost you in pump performance.

I think you misunderstood.  The green Monster you're referring to is for your ground man.  You should use KeriTec 5/8 or 3/4 for your cleaning solution.  Lori from PWP canget it for you in red or Blue.  I think it is around .60 a foot. Give her a call.
