Anyone used a snowfoam bottle to treat driveways with hypo?

Been doing it a few days now.

2l of neat hypo in a snowfoam bottle with a splash of surfactant. 

No idea of the strength but seems to kil everything.

Gonna do one shortly so will take a pic.

Comes out foamy and sticks well to dwell for a while.

 
Did a Softwash on a nice outside perimeter wall. The black lichen was hard to shift on top of the sandstone balls. Eventually came up with a good idea to soak hypo on a small sponge and sit it on the top of it. Didn't take long before it faded away.

Glad you have tried it @Dave B I was thinking of doing the same. 

My PW has a chemical injector but don’t fancy hypo going thru hose and gun etc and don’t want to fork out on an X-jet as I have heard they go through a lot of chem. 

I wonder if it would work with biocide as well. Might be hard to workout the right dilution rates tho.



This was an interesting watch. I really like the look of the v-tuff foam canon.

If you are using one of those generic ones the thin cheap brass will rot quickly if not rinsed out well after use.

A great cheap mans Exjet hack

I made that mistake once and the bottle kept falling off after a while.

Wash it out after every use.
