Q: Help me understand Rinse Pressure <\/h2>\n
\nI tried to rinse my roof with a garden hose from the gutter line after cleaning it, but nothing seemed to make it into the gutters. Can you help me understand what I am doing wrong?<\/p>\n

A: Low Pressure, but not NO PRESSURE<\/h2>\n
It turns out that a garden hose from the gutter line is about as effective a rinse as a vegetable sprayer on your kitchen sink.
\"Flood<\/a>

Rinse Without the Rapid<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

Run the Rapids<\/h3>\n

One way to look at the situation is to zoom in on the asphalt shingle texture. Essentially you can think of the aggregate or granules as being rocks in a river bed. Then add to the river bed dead leaves (which will be the algae and mold that the roof cleaner killed).
\nWhen you rinse with a garden hose you are providing so little water that the ‘leaves’ are riding class 4 rapids bumping over every boulder and essentially getting stuck in the valleys. <\/p>\n

Thinking of rinsing this way you can get a sense of why the distant garden hose rinse just doesn’t get it. <\/p>\n

River Flood Level<\/h3>\n

The way to avoid your black streaks running the rapids is to rinse with plenty of water, enough to rise above the granules, so that the algae and mold have a smooth surface to ride the water down to the gutters. <\/p>\n

Think of footage of floods where cars and other debris float freely as the waters rage.<\/p>\n

Low Pressure, High Volume Rinse<\/h3>\n

So the ultimate combination we need to make it all work is enough pressure at the base of the algae to lift it<\/b> into the high volume flood of water racing down to the gutters. <\/p>\n

This combination of approx 200psi of lift pressure, combined with the high volume out put let’s the mold and algae float unobstructed down the roof into the gutters… <\/p>\n

When the flood waters recede you have a much cleaner roof.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
