Algoclear - how long before washing
« on: May 22, 2014, 02:23:00 pm »
Hi chaps, quoting for a full house render clean that's suffering from algae.

Thought I might try for the algoclear method, but it seems a bit unclear how long it takes effect before I could rinse down after application so the builder can paint

Thanks

Why not just use chloris? Use a 50/50 ratio, wait 15mins then soft wash off.

Algae will be dead after about 4/5 hours.

Cheers Chris

Which is the best to use, algoclear or the pro version

JD - had considered hypo but I was looking for a product that would defo kill the roots and spores so when I wash down there is NO chance of any residue of algae remaining

You can apply anyway you see fit. As long as the surface is wetted with Quats it will work....brush and a bucket if you do not have any equipment.

This...

Quaternary ammonium cations, also known as quats, are positively charged polyatomic ions of the structure NR4+, R being an alkyl group or an aryl group.[1] Unlike the ammonium ion (NH4+) and the primary, secondary, or tertiary ammonium cations, the quaternary ammonium cations are permanently charged, independent of the pH of their solution. Quaternary ammonium salts or quaternary ammonium compounds (called quaternary amines in oilfield parlance) are salts of quaternary ammonium cations with an anion.

Chris could you use a telescopic lance and a venture for algoclear and hypo ? or will it damage the hose.Apologies if that's a stupid question im a nooby.

I was also wondering can I run algo clear through my chemical intank of my pressure washer run it up my pressure washing lance and I have a hp brush on the end so if I turned the pressure right down and applied it then leave for a while then wetted and scrubbed until gone then apply a diluted layer at the end to finish what do you think chris???

No algoclear will not damage anything. Telescopic lances don't usually work well with a venturi.
