I finally found a small company that will work with me to give all of us something to mask the smell. OK, I know of tons of stuff that will work, but it is very expensive, because it is unconditionally chlorine stable.

That kind of chit is really expensive. So, I told this company to try and come up with something that is cheap, quick,  and dirty 

Who cares if it is only stable for a few days ?

As long as we can add it, then spray the roof, who cares if we have to add a little more in a few days, as long as it dont eat our mix up ?

 

I will kepp everyone posted

I hear ya Zack, and I feel the same way. We sometimes mix both our 300 gal tanks (one for shingle and one for tile) at the same time, and use that for 1/2 to one week between fill ups.

Seldom do out tanks have mix in them over a week old. I told that to this small company, and they seem very responsive to our needs. He is going to approach his chemical engineers with this question, and get me some samples.

He even asked me for a sample of our roof cleaning mixes! 

I have been down many dead end roads before, so I am not getting too excited, but we will see ?

Great work Chris, can't wait to hear what you come up with.

A few times a week, for one reason or another, I put a little vanilla in a handheld sprayer, diluted about 60/40 and spray the porch, door sounding concrete, or because maybe a bunch of neighbors that look like they would love a reason to cause a stir, just to mask the stink. Maybe in the front gutter. Always do it for homes that are for sale. Expensive skunk juice. If it's cheaper and really works, I would think it would sell.

Thats a great idea, but you need to get all that NYLON stuff out of there ASAP.

It will break on you w/o warning. I know this is your prototype, and you plan to replace it all with PVC fittings.

I would be concerned that the surfactant/fragrance may not draw before the pump primes.

Are u sucking from the top of your tanks like us, or using flooded bulkhead fitting ?

LOL, since u have that set up, try some green palmolive dish soap in there ?

That chit gets HOT when first mixed with chlorine, but cleans and sticks like a mother, until it eats your chit.

My wife would be soooo very happy if my hands didn't smell like SH once in a while! LOL

 Eric,

I had the same problem until I ordered these. It works!

 

Joe, here is what I purchased.

The soles look like they have twice as much contact with the ground than my Nike's. I'm going to put them to the test in the morning. If you don't hear from me for a few weeks, then that means they suck and I'm in a full body cast.

You can grab a 100 pack from any local grocery medical section l Auto store for $10 to see if you like them before ordering 1000 pair.

Before using these gloves my hands smell so bad it would wake me up at night.
