ReNew Roof & Exterior cleaning Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Last year using the bottom draw on my SH and water tanks was a little on the difficult side because of the un-level driveways and streets I had to work on. Alot of the driveways here are small and there isnt much choice where I can park the rig and cant always park with the tank bung going down hill. I had a few level driveways though. I am thinking of going with a drop stick for this upcoming season to get the most material out of my tanks without having to mix more just to get the job done especially when most of the homes around here are medium sized. I could make up more than what I need but last season I had 1-65 gal tank for SH and a 35 gal tank for fresh water. With the new Hastelloy pump I will use another 65 gal tank for fresh water and the 35 gal for Sh or house wash which may be too small. I am looking at an 8'x16' enclosed trailer w/duel axles instead of my 5x8 trailer, more than twice the room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ReNew Roof & Exterior cleaning Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Im not saying bottom draw is bad but for my experiences in my area there always seems to be 10-15 gallons that I cant get out with the bottom draw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stay Clean Report post Posted January 26, 2015 This topic hasn't been beat to death before at all, lol. I think we can all agree it doesn't matter what the other guy does as long as what each of us does works for us. So with that I'll say good luck Gene, hope it works better for you.

Richard Frisson Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Just put the damn bulkhead on the top and a solid draw tube fastened to it. Any proper roof system is self priming! draw from the top people, this is much safer if anything goes wrong. For rinsing get a proper water tank and install a bulkhead on the UNDERSIDE at the lowest point of the tank (there are tanks designed for this). Use banjo valves and quick connects! 1 Roof Cleaning Virginia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Advantage Roof Cleaning Report post Posted January 26, 2015 This topic pops up each year. It's like debating the the right way of pronouncing tomato. I used to draw from the top but now I draw from the bottom. BTW Kevin I love the giraffe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReNew Roof & Exterior cleaning Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Ok, there are pro's and con's to both systems. For MY needs I will incorporate both systems. My primary will be bottom draw and when I need it I will use the drop stick. My apologies for bringing this up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
