The ONLY thing good here is the Tank.
And 1500 is a LOT of money for a tank that has already been RUINED.
By Ruined, I mean it already has a bulkhead hole cut in it.
In roof cleaning, you want to PULL from the TOP of the tank to eliminate spills.
Unless you want a rusted out trailer/truck.
The cast iron hypro wont make it a month before it may lock up.
FORGET IT.
Start out with a Delevan 5800 12 volt pump and 200 feet of 5/8 PVC hose or even garden hose.
I would call Bob at Pressure Tek in Cleveland Ohio :)
 
Yeah, what Chris said........

And.........

If you were planning on spending that much money to get into the roof cleaning business, spend a little bit more and get the Chemical Bandit from Bob at PressureTek. It is tried and tested and holds up great with the bleach.

How much work do you have lined up so far?

Who have you trained with to learn the job?

How many roofs have you done with someone learning?

Just curious.

ANY competent, experienced roof cleaner would have caught that.
I just happened to be cruising by first.
Listen to my friend Chris, and get the Bandit.
Summer is upon us, money to be made!
