Noobe Roof cleaing

[Squirtgun]

Naw, just a bunch of roof guys talking shop
We all use what we like, just like you do
I am cleaning a roof in the first pic, second is Mallard, third pic is one of my expolyees, and you are cleaning a roof in the 4th picture.

For those curious about hose, this is a good example.
The second picture is a Mallard Person using the same pump as Squirtgun is using in the last picture, a Shurflo.Mallard had 44 trucks in their day, and all used small shurflo 12 volt pumps.
Look at the difference in Flow ?

SOME feel that big hose "causes" more run off ?

MY opinion is that operator skill controls run off.

With a big pump/big hose, you simply move faster.

In picture one, that is me using a 20 GPM John Blue Pump.

SEE any run off ?

Just as some can not handle a really fast Motorcycle, some can't handle big hose and big pumps.

Smaller hose and smaller pumps work for them.

Plenty of roofs have been cleaned with smaller diameter hose and small pumps.

Just not nearly as fast as those of us with faster equipment.

95 percent on my work is JUST roof cleaning.

My guys do several roofs a day.

Having a fast roof cleaning set up is important to me.

If you just do a roof every now and then, you may like the space and cost savings of a slower set up ?

The Astute (Chris' word) will notice I am rinsing the roof with a ball valve and the pressure washer.
Run off wasn't a concern due to having a well trained ground person.

I remember when Don Phelps GAVE you a Shurflo Pump, and drove from Orlando, Florida to Georgia to DELIVER the Shurflo to you.

Having knowledge of you having a Shurflo, and seeing the black, small 3/8 hose, and the slight spray pattern, I THOUGHT you were using the little shurflo Don gave you ?
I have seen Don suggest 3/8 air hose before, and it comes in Black.

What difference does it make whether I gave old equipment away or not. Let me guess where this is going? I 'buy' my friends with equipment, right? You've said you've given old stuff away before too, but that's different, right? You play like the same busted and broken record all the time. Didn't take you long to start your crap again, did it?

Oh yeah, Ron gives $, equipment, certificates etc. away too. Now that you aren't kicking and screaming to him and Russ on the phone today I guess that's OK too??? I like how you cry like a 9 year old when posts are moved elsewhere, but as soon as you make yourself look stupid they just go 'poof' around here.

Way to go Ron and Russ! You say you don't want trouble in the roof forums but then you sit back and feed into it on a continuous basis. Oh yeah, the whole 'bait' BS goes both ways, gentlemen.

Here's a new word for ya.

I couldn't care any less at this point. It's all been exposed. If not, it soon will be.

To clarify....
Don was passing through GA. on his way to KY. to visit his family.There was no special trip made to bring me a pump.A gift from a friend who wanted to help me get away from xjetting roofs.
FYI....the roof in question was not cleaned with a shur-flo.The chems were applied with an xjet and rinsed with the ball valve and pressure washer.
