Travis,
     Do yourself a favor and look up the make up of the tank, pump, seals, ect. Then find a sodium hypochlorite compatibility chart and see how those materials I just listed rate for use with SH. That will give you an idea of the possible longevity of that stuff.

Tanks such as that PCO tank are nice because they offer a nice footprint and are usually slightly less in cost. 

Sodium Hypochlorite or Dichlor or Cal Hypo do NOT like fertilizer.  Fertilizer is highly organic and may react with releasing a gas.  It depends on the type and concentration.

The tank looks like it is composed of polyethylene.  This type of tank does not have the molded legs which offer a bit of a baffling effect and calms the sloshing a little.  They usually have a UV inhibitor added to the composition of material.

Travis, don't act like you know it will work for sure. Clean the tank out and mix up a strong batch. Spray a couple of roofs and then tell us how it's working. Until then, you don't know anything about it. I really hope you clean the tank out correctly so there are no compatibility issues with the chemicals. Good luck with it.

Depending on where you are going to mount it,should work. Just clean it out really good, plus if any  thing you have a tank and the craddle to hold it. You can always mount a pump, 12v or air, then redo the hose reel with another plus add hose, either way you saved some money, I would set the tank up to pull from the top though. Good luck.

Looks like a nice start.  The worst thing that could happen is you take that pump off and mount a Fatboy on there and there you go.  Good score.  Better than spending $5000.00 on a pre setup system.

The roller pump will take a dump sooner or later,but I would run it like I stole it for now. RoundUp is corrosive however in a different way than SH at the end of the day you will need to put oil in the pump to keep the roller from locking up.Simply rinsing with water will not prevent corrosion.

The rest is a good start and as other have stated it has good bones to to make a nice roof cleaning set up.
