Jeeese! apple salad , fruit salad, pear juice..., peaches and cream LOL

You have the right stuf. SHC Mix it 1 to 1.. 5 gals of SHC to 5 gal of water.....

<5 will get you 10>.....300gal on one roof????? 

<5 water + 5 gal of SHC> On siding and stucco you can go 2 to 1 or even 3 to 1...

Hey, and if you want fruit drop some strawberries in your mix!  Just kidding....

That is the proper mix.......Cover your plants and if you still have black streaks or brown streaks  applicate again real quick.

The key is getting enough chemical on the roof to do the job. Killing the algae!

If your black roof starts turning brown it means you are heading in the right dirrection and winning the battle.  T

here is no law that says you can't spray more SHC upon a roof twice...

Usually the second time is just a spot spray for areas that need to be hit with a little more LOVE!

You have the Love! (SHC)  Why turn it into a fruit salad! The only thing I add to my SHC is a surfactant and water.....

i thought i was spoce to use apple cider on tile roofs
100gallon mix
50%sh
12.5lbs tsp
128oz isp
1gallon np9
my problem is im having to recoat each roof 3 times before its clean i was wonderind if i wasn't waiting long enough between coats as soon as it dries i've been applying another coat whitch just seams like alot af chemical to me for one house 125-150 gallons on average

i start with the water then add the tsp and np9 i mix the tsp in a 5gal bucket of hot water before adding it then i add the SH last about 30 min before i get to the jod i always getting a good browning effact when it hits the roof so i figured it was working but it dries in 5 min or less i live in pasco county and was working in palm harbor it was a very hot day friday i thought maby it was drying to fast should i use apple souce instead of apple cider

what should be the amount of chemical used to clean 5000 sqft of barrel tile for the average home im just trying to figure out if im using to much i've done several shingle roof but these tile roofs seem to use so much more just trying to see if this is normal hoping someone can help

two hours would be nice but with temps in the 90s rite now it can be tough to keep it wet for 10 min i tried weting the roof with water first like someone sugested earlier but it didn't make a difrence is there anything i can add to help keep it wet a little longer or so it has more time to dwell

Usually the addition of basic dish soap will aid in staying wet longer.
But, you're easiest solution is to simply start earlier in the day.

I was wondering if starting when there is dew on the roof helped or hurt the process.

Again, you either got some old/weak SHC  and the NP 9 is KILLING your mix !!
I gallon NP 9 is enough for 300 gallons mix !
You are using 1 gallon per 100 gallons mix!
WAY too much.
