FAST. Havent timed it but in a couple hours has been my experience. More you add the quicker it does. Yes it can melt snow. SH will too.

Ohhh, I thought (was hoping) it was another chlorine stable product. Bummer. Hoping not to have to "recharge" a mix for the second job of the day with more SH. Hmm.

Will this work the same way with CH and if so would it be the same amount?

So, say I mix up a batch of 50 gallons of mix and have 15 gallons left over. When I mix my next batch I would just count the left over gallons of mix as part of my total water need, then add necessary amount of SH, then add F&C just before I start to spray the next roof, right?? evileye

Definitely do not count 15g of water as left over. That is a third of your tank. If your cleaning a roof, you can run it a little on the hotter side. But if the temps have been pretty cold, it will keep atleast a week.

i have not seen it weaken my batch yet. every day we add it now that the temp is around 45 degrees and every day we mix like its normal conditions and we get the same results like its normal conditions. i just bought a crap load of it and all my trucks are using it

Thanks Danny & Josh,

My mix was mixed on the 2nd of November, so with the F&C added that day it has probably weakened since and I figure at best I could think of it as "strong water". I've got a roof to do today and a small touch-up, so I'll figure it into my "water" calculation since it's been so long sitting in the tank. (two weeks)

Thanks y'all..

Agreed, figure it as water.

If you figure it as water wont it add a lot more salt to your next mix with the potential of causing more plant and shrub damage?

Yes but if you are following the protocols of the Plant & Prop Module you will be OK.
