Water Hose
A minimum of 150 feet of 3/4" diameter heavy duty contractor hose is best.
Smaller hose diameters like 1/2" or 5/8" will reduce cleaning efficiencies when
rinsing.
Ball Valve
Use a 3/4" ball valve on the hose end.
This will allow you to easily shut off water flow to change from cleaner
applicator to rinsing tool. Note: Make sure the valve you choose does not
restrict water flow.
Pump-up Sprayer
You will need a hand held pump-up sprayer
for applying DEFY Stain Blocker. A sprayer with a large 2-3 gallon tank works
well and saves refilling time.
Other Helpful Tools:
Electric Utility Pump
A 1/2 hp or slightly bigger utility pump
rated for a minimum of 20 gpm. Available at most farm supply and home
improvement stores. Note: A minimum of 80 psi of water pressure is best for
rinsing. A small pump is helpful because water pressures will vary greatly from
each location or municipality. Additionally, pressure is lost from the rise in
the hose when rinsing on roofs.
Roofing Boots
Water resistant boots made especially for
walking on roofs, with special replaceable pads designed for maximum grip on
roofs are highly recommended.
