Has anybody ever used powdered pool shock to make up roof wash? A 1 pound bag is like $3.00. If you've used it how much goes into a 80 gallon batch?
Thanks for the info Doug and Russ, We were looking at ordering a bunch of it. Did anyone try mixing it in warm dihydrogen monoxide first?
Do you have a formula matt?

It MAY be possible to get the calcium hypochlorite to work, if the scale problem can be solved. It might be worth some more development work. The stuff sure is easy to carry around with you, and easy to get. Perhaps if followed with a mild acid/water rinse, it can be used successfully ?
Calcium Hypochlorite has the advantage it has no Sodium (salt) and is easier on plants.
Diesle fuel with an ignition source for heat to alter the temperature of the rest of the ingredients. Then (you can get these at select chemical companies) add one part oxygen and two parts hydrogen in equal amounts up to a total of 50 gallons. If you need more base solution to mix up the powder, I would suggest repeating the process.
Doug says they have been able to augment the regular roof cleaning mix with it successfully, before the scale forms. I suggest those who want to make a powdered bleach product commercially might want to look into chlorinated TSP as a possible ingredient.They say it can work, if they get it the guys will love it for sure.

It still leaves scale Matt, we never use it for roof cleaning in tampaThanks for the info Doug and Russ, We were looking at ordering a bunch of it. Did anyone try mixing it in warm dihydrogen monoxide first?
You can mix it in warm cat piss if you want Matt. The problem is not getting it to dissolve in water. The problem is what happens when it dries on your customers roof(comes out of solution)Thanks for the info Doug and Russ, We were looking at ordering a bunch of it.
