Roof Cleaner applicator
Use this to apply the cleaner, simply pour the concentrated cleaner into the applicator's reservoir. Set the dilution dial to "C" (1:6), attach it to the hose, and spray on roof. This saves time and eliminates the need for mixing.

roof rinsing tool
This is a safe, low pressure rinsing system made exclusively for SaverSystems by American Water Broom. The three head Roof Rinsing Tool attaches directly to your hose. It safely removes the algae colonies and their roots without causing damage to the shingles.

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 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.

electric utility pump
A 1/2 hp or slightly bigger utility pump rated for a minimum of 20 GPM or at least 1200 GPH. 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.
