bleach

Roof Cleaning Katy Texas (281) 392-2304 · Apr 20, 2010

When I started my business 16 years ago, we used store bought SH mixed it with water & applied it with a manual pump up sprayer. A lot of work but there was no competition back then and prices were higher due to the labor. But it worked!

PS Plan on buying it by the palet.

Look for a pool supply shop close to where you live. You should be able to get 10% from them...

Water conditioning services are also a possible source for SH. Yes, store bought bleach will work,....just a pain with all those bottles.

They might!! It will work but take a lot more, you might even find it is costing you the same. Your local waste water treatment plant buys fresh SH, find out who they are getting it from. It's a public service, they are not going to try and hide who their supplier is.

Yes, disposal of all those bottles is a real pain...

thanks for the advice guys. I did some more reading and sure enough about twenty phone calls later I found 15 gallonn containers of 12.5% sh for 46.50 not the best but not bad compared to before. best part is its only 20 minutes from the house. I did find a company that will deliver it in tank form. I mean I need a 200 plus tank and they will stop buy and fill it up. this site is the best and thanks again.

Found "Swimming Pool Wearhouse" stocks lots of fresh 10% by the gallon. Still almost $4 a gallon but a better deal than Clorox or Ramteq 12% which is over $6 a gallon!

You may be surprised and end up needing that 200gal tank Bob. Glad you found a better deal, keep looking for an even better one.

Bob, Take that deal its not badat 3.10 a gallon. Once you buy from them awhile you will get it cheaper. We pay 1.50 a gallon but we buy it in 300 gallon totes. Shc is cheap. We also get tsp from our supplier at around .90 cents a pound.

I remember those days to, I hated having all those empty containers in site. Hello look at me I use bleach. The home owner thinks to him self? I can do this my self, just go by me some bleach.

I had to do the gallon thing on a good size project a while back. 33 cases of gallon jugs, that was fun getting rid of all those containers and cases.

I would pour the chemicals into my trailer tank before I got to the job, a lot less hassle and you don't want to have people out there thinking all kinds of thoughts.

Wow, That must of been a huge job, using over 400 gallons of solution.

Guest

well I just got a call back from a guy out of seattle, can't remember his company name but saved the number. he said if I get things going he will supply me a tank and deliver the sh for 2.25 a gallon. not bad from the 3.10 I got quoted so far. yes it is 12.5%

dirtlessdave · Guest

i don't have a tank or anything at home. But i am getting it for .90 cents a gallon here. But it would be useful to have for a job on the weekend when the shop is closed

Roof Cleaning Toledo Ohio (419) 265-3306 · Guest

Bob, Thats not bad but you can get it cheaper. We just got a new quote todaay from our supplier. $1.10 delivered in 300 galllon tote. The good thing about roof cleaning is that our supplies are in expensive. It's the time and dedication to our customers landscaping that cost. We would rather spend an extra hour at their place to assure that their landscaping is safe.

SH prices are all over the place up here. One place does a 45gal drum for $197 and the other supplier can give it to me for $98.40 and they can still go cheaper with multiples. Both is 12.5% and both has constant turnover...
