I'm thinking of expanding into this market, I have done a few test panels at home, so depending on the results will be if I use it. I did only use the normal algoclear tho, not the pro. Had some normal gear left over from a job. Just knocked it up stronger for test purposes.

Knocking up stronger still won't be as good as the pro as it's only 10% concentrate no matter how you mix it. The Pro is 40% and it works mate.

You could still an improvement on the day because of the prep and it starts to work straight away but gets better and better with time

I take it you went up on the roof to scrape the moss off?

So roughly how does it take to scrape a roof like that?

This might sound stupid but could you not spray it and leave it to die off then gutter vac all the debrie out of the gutters or do you really have to scrape it off?

I think even when dead the moss stays stuck in the tiles, also algoclear may not fully penetrate thick to kill it off.

Will let you know as I have picked up a really heavy moss roof job and going to algoclear it a week before washing off

I was hoping that the algoclear would soften it up making the washing easier

Nope.
It would be a waste of Quats. If you are to pressure wash do this first and then kill off any remaining spores/root system with Algo clear.
