The only thing is suppliers are suppling for swimming pool cleaning/treatment, not the same as how we (pressure washers) use it. They should be able to give you some do's & don'ts but that's it.
Understand what your saying,  my post was probably a bit short sighted. We buy from local pressure washing / Chem 'supplier', they are far more qualified then anyone on here (no disrespect meant!)
Roger thks for that rec the other day, they wanted the roof clean carried out in March !
Looking at the job next week but have told her earliest end of April, to be honest realistically probably end of May now.
 
Simon, I gave you contact details for pressure washing company they are also chem suppliers, speak to them they 'may' be willing to give you more details / information. You have to appreciate this is an open forum, hence any 'muppet' can read / write posts :)



Your like me get your chems from a chemical supplier or manufacture but most would be looking to eBay or swimming pool outlets so no real info from them in how to use it.
Re the recommendation no problem, it's not our field of work as you know so would rather pass it on to someone that can do the job, Good Luck with it, if it's a nice earner just add a % on  ;D
Thats the reason I suggest to guys to build a relationship with a local supplier ref machines plus chemicals, always get it cheaper online but you dont get the backup.

Was the enquiry from CAT, If they are prepared to wait no prob ref %  ;). may join CAT and run it alongside Trust a T  :D

Yes
I also notice your employee is not wearing any sort of PPE when washing away the bleach...you as an employer need to ensure that he does .

Simon are you talking about pool chlorine?

I see a guy using this today.

He basically diluted it, put it in a watering can. Watered the block stone. Left it for 10 mins. Then pressure washed off.

When i did my banking this morning, by the time i had done that, it had worked. Awesome job.

He told me add the CH to water and not acid to water and dont get it on grass.

HTH  :P

Hypo is not an "acid"  ::)roll

I will print out your reply, and direct your  ::)roll at him

So the answer is " don't buy it unless you know what you are doing". people should not be asking on here then sploshing it everywhere. If you cannot write Rams for its use then you should not buy it

And if you are unaware of the PH scale then thats another reason why you should not buy it - if just for your own safety

It's a Logarithmic scale which in laymans terms means its going to hurt lots and lots and a lot more  ;)
