Softwash Equipment & Supplies

What is softwashing? Softwashing or "softwash" is not a new industry, but it is an extremely fast growing industry. Softwash is most often used in more humid environments where moss, mildew or lichens have lots of moisture to grow such as roofs, siding and commercial facades. A common practice is softwashing homes or commercial buildings. Operators will use a bleach concentrate and foam solution with a combination of water, diluted bleach (or sodium hypochlorite) and other additives. Depending upon the application, operators will raise or lower the dilution rate.

Comet Pumps is a leader in the industry with their P36GR diaphragm pump, a pump specifically designed for the softwash industry. You will be hard-pressed to find a more robust diaphragm pump for softwashing applications. Comet's pumps have Buna diaphragms which actually hold their form much better than Viton® or Desmopan diaphragms - so you don't need to spend the extra money on those high-end products.

Buna has been around for many years and it has great chemical compatibility with sodium hypochlorite solutions with dilution rates under 20%. Most softwash applications don't ever come close to this rate. Don't let someone steer you towards unnecessary expenditures. We can line you up with a quality diaphragm pump that won't break the bank for your softwash operation.
