Application methods for using Oxi Wash

Hey Y'all,
Here is a simple rig we designed to make application of Oxi Wash easier through a water fed pole reducing waste.
1. Cut the spray head off of the spray tube on a 2.5 gallon poly pump sprayer.
2. Slide your water fed pole hose onto the stub of the spray wand and add a hose clamp.
3. Take a soft bristle truck wash brush and drill two small holes on the pad of the brush to add two wfp misters into the brush.
4. Attach the other end of the wfp hose to a nylon T fitting.
5. Attach two small sections of wfp hose to the T fitting and then to the misters on the brush.
6. Attach the brush to a water fed pole to apply the chems to a gutter, siding or metal roof without waste.

Never heard the jets called misters before, but it makes sense.

Any chance of a video on this, AC?

Thank you,

I'm using a similar rig to apply enzymatic bird dropping cleaner to the underside of a footbridge in a resort area next week. I tested it out and it works really good. I'm using a metal concrete contractors spray can instead, as you can get like 45psi out of them. In addition, if someone had a lot of this to apply, Chapin makes a 6 gallon stainless steel pump sprayer on a cart.

This is a photo of the rig that AC made for us while here on a Wilderness Excursion. Makes the job MUCHO MAS FACIL.

Off topic but Chad can you share some info on the bird dropping cleaner? We have a building to do that's covered in bird bombs.

Thanks much.

I am using "Microbial Bird Dropping Cleaner" and John A. has used "Dirty Bird." John suggested these types of products to me. This will be my first time using the stuff.

Visit www.birdbarrier.com, and go to the cleaning products section. These are enzymes that eat and therefore soften the droppings so they can be washed away by hose pressure or light pressure washing. Bird Barrier is a sister company of J. Rachenstien, owned by the same folks. If you call and ask for Tony he is very helpful.
