Title: Spraying at Height
Post by: Matt - aquatec on September 15, 2011, 12:04:55 pm

Hi

I need to somehow work out a system for allowing me to spray the gutters and facia boards with TFR / Virosol etc....

Low down is fine with my pump sprayer... has anyone got an ingenious solution???

Cheers

Matt

What I did was got hold of one of these, Pic attached, £1 at a car boot (Bargain)
I cut the pipe on the lance about 6 inches from spray head, and got some clear plastic tubing (B&Q) bout 7 meters and joined it at both ends of the cut I'd made in the lance, thus extending the lance by 7 meters,
Now on a job I attatch spray head end to any WFP I'm using, with velcro straps, (fleabay £2.00) wrap pipe around outside of pole and attach trigger to bottom of pole, again with Velcro straps, and away you go!

Now I can spray any gutters and facia's with TFR solution, and BEFORE it dries, start with same brush to clean UPVC.

Can't believe how simple this piece of kit is and has become so useful on many many jobs, and all for less than a tenner!

I just dip my brush in a bucket and soak it before washing off. Seems easiest option to me.

hi

no need for a seperate sprayer,
 what i do is spray tfr, viro sol , or what ever you use directly on to brush head , extend pole , turn water on , and soak gutter , fascia, without touching with brush,
 turn water off (easy if using an aqua adapter) then scrub with brush , the neat tfr on brush foams up ,
 leave a few mins , then turn flow on and wash as normal, works a treat, much quicker, uses  less tfr, and fascia comes up a treat.
