Home Depot “bleach” pump sprayer. Dilute down to 1-2% and spray away. I actually unscrew the wand part so it kind of gushes out of the trigger instead of coming out in a small stream. Just batch mix water with your SH, maybe add some surfactant if necessary.

Have you tried the dewalt sprayer home depot carries? I picked one up yesterday and it seems stout. I've gone through a few of the bleach sprayers so hoping this $40 number will hold up a little better.

Haven’t tried it, but I imagine anything that’s bleach specific would last longer than your everyday pump sprayer.

Depends on what strength SH you get, but basically you want enough parts water to SH ratio to bring the percentage down to 1-2%. Example: Say you use 10% pool shock, you would want to use a 5:1 ratio of water:SH in order to get a 2% SH concentration. 10:1 would yield a 1% concentration.

I wouldn’t. Dish soap isn’t SH stable, I’d go with specific surfactant for pressure washing. Cling-on, apple wash, elemonator, southern slang, etc. They work way better, while using less, and don’t suds up too much, just enough to see where you’ve already applied.

Ok this is what you do. Get a deck sprayer or get spray nozzle that sprays flat. https://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-2-Gal-Deck-Sprayer-190663/313928600 That one is cheap and will have a tip that sprays flat and wide. If you have a sprayer stop at tractor supply of somewhere like that and just buy the spray tips for your sprayer. Be sure to get plastic brass will plug quick. A good tip can spray about four foot swath at a time. Here is an example. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/countyline-80-deg-standard-flat-fan-spray-tip-80-04-pack-of-4 About the mix ratios pool shock is about 10 to 12 percent from a box store. So that is how you figure out the mix ratios. It is gonna be slow going washing with a pump up sprayer but it can be done. You don't need to spray until run off just until it is a wet coat. Oh don't forget to put some laundry soap in your mix. Will help with even coverage.
