Looks like a waste of a good fishing tackle box to me

Just kidding, but no one I know here in Florida uses a box over their pump, fan or not.

Most here simply mount the 12 volt pumps upside down on the trailer somewhere. Of course, your situation may be different ?  All of our roof cleaning rigs are constantly evolving. The important thing is not having to be "perfect", just get out there and start cleaning some roofs! I started Apple Roof Cleaning Tampa with a 12 volt pump, and 200 feet of 5/8 garden hose, no hose reel. I used a donated 5 by 8 trailer and a rinky dink tank. The marine deepcycle battery came from a Boat Junkyard, paid 15 bucks for it, put some new acid in it, and was good to go for a year! My aluminum ladder came from a Pawn Shop, gave 25 dollars for it. This WAS Apple Roof Cleaning, for nearly a year. I rented a room in a home for 150 dollars a month, worked 12 hour days, 6 days a week, pounding doors till my knuckles bled. Looking back, it was worth it. Good luck to you, and welcome !!!!!!!!!!!!

How much did this run you?

Have done any roofs yet with your new set up?

Looks good.

If that is a metal filter in the 4th pic, ditch it.  It wont last one roof.  See Lori for a real filter with a 1" suction hose for a fatboy.

 Very pretty work. Got the fan too. No elbows like I got.

Gutterdog, your set up might have elbows, but my "pretty" set-up isn't making any money

 Yea, It aint easy with a crazy idea, to start a company,  and no money! I took my dads 24, bungie corded it to my truck, went to court house got DBA, got insured, started cleaning gutters.

 Made alot of sacrifices to stay full time Gutterdogs. Wasted thousands of dollars, thinkin it would generate return, I sacrified even more. LOL! Never had any idea how to do what I do now.

 At the RCIA you can find role models, pictures of how to build it, PWP to buy it, Everything is here to go out and sell a roof. Awesome pics shared in this thread, Perfect craftmanship. My trailer was put together, 1. before newer stuff was shared, 2. and in a hurry,3. on a tight A** budget, lol. Same day built went out and washed some stuff. Roof was done with pump ups earlier. 

 I wouldnt have known how to build what I got If it wasnt for the RCIA. And, now, how to make small improvments!

 Apple Cider too!!! 

 Go out there and sell some jobs. I threw out some roof washing hits out of my area to other people. I think it was wisconsin roof wash nobody took? 

 Its not hard to sell a job. Smile, eye contact, Shake their hand, Talk confidently. Do family members and friends roofs first at a learning discount price. (after the  trailer got built! I went out and did some roofs in my neighborhood some rediculous prices). Get your confidence and feel, that way. Rinse the first ones too, till you get the feel how the rain will do. This will lessen the touch-ups for free. I promise a perfect roof.  

 Youre gonna make mistakes. But far fewer for being here.

 At the RCIA. 

  
 

 

Here are some pics of my new roof cleaning aod alo flo pump with electric titan reel mounted on the top of my other 2 hose reels that I bought from Lori last month.  There was no room on my trailer to put it anywhere else.  The electric titan hose reel is the way to go after you are already tired from cleaning the roofs...  No more winding.  All you have to do is push a button and guide the hose.
