Is anyone reclaiming chemical from downspouts?

I'm with the masses on this one, If you have so much run off that you are thinking about trying to reuse it, you are (1) sparying way too much, or (2) need more suffactant. I have a few roofs under my belt now, and even some that were unwalkable, the run off for me has been minimal. After suggestions from some of the more experienced roof guys, I am no longer rinsing. Results were awesome, customer was happy. Downside, you have to go back for the after pic. Good luck!
 
Tile and metal roof...
We can typically gather about 1-2 gallons of gutter love on a standard 2500ft2 roof.. we are catching it on non gutter roofs as well with buckets in inside corners. .but I am a believer in low flow controlled spray even though theyvgive a2ay chlorine down here for pennies no sense in pissing money away. I like using gutter love as a pretreat for driveway and patios. .after we pour it through a filter to pull out chunks..then direct pump type application on surfaces. It is still effective..relatively. .if used on same job. I like this better than neutralizing into ground.
Shingle roofs.
Likely to get a cup of runoff. ..not applicable
 
I've reclaimed a time or two, wasn't planning on but just realized "man I collected an awe full lot in that bag". So I carried it up on the roof and dumped it on the bad spots instead of giving them a second coat. Most of this just ran off too, so it might have been a waste of time.
