1. ROOF MELT IS DESIGNED TO BE TOSSED ONTO THE PROBLEM AREAS OF THE ROOF WHERE ICE DAM’S HAVE BUILT UP. BY TOSSING THE TABLETS ON THE ROOF, YOU ELIMINATE HAVING TO USE A LADDER OR EXTENSION EQUIPMENT. THE TABLET SHOULD BE TOSSED ONTO THE ROOF JUST BEYOND THE ICE AREA INTO THE SNOW.

2. TOSS 1 TABLET EVERY 1 SQUARE FOOT OF PROBLEM AREA. ROOF MELT BEGINS TO WORK FROM THE ROOF UP, MELTING CHANNELS THRU THE ICE SO THE WATER CAN SAFELY DRAIN TO THE EAVES OR THE GROUND. BUILT UP WATER UNDER THE ICE HAS NOWHERE TO GO, SO IT MAKES IT’S WAY INTO THE HOUSE.THIS PROCESS ELIMINATES THE WATER FROM GOING INTO THE HOUSE BY GIVING IT A WAY TO DRAIN.

3. ROOF MELT WILL BEGIN WORKING THE HOUR AFTER APPLIED TO PROBLEM AREA. IMPORTANT: THE CHANNELS ARE THE FIRST ACTION ROOF MELT BEGINS TO DO. YOU WILL PROBABLY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE IT WORKING AT FIRST, AS THE CHANNELS FORM BETWEEN THE ROOF AND THE ICE.

| |
4. IF APPLIED EVERY SQUARE FOOT OF THE PROBLEM AREA, WITHIN 6 TO 10 HOURS YOU WILL SEE THE CLEARANCE OF THE ICE ON THE ROOF. IN MANY CASES COMPLETE SHEETS OF ICE CAN SLIDE OFF THE ROOF. USE CAUTION WITH USE OVER PEDESTRIAN WALKWAYS.

5. AT WHAT TEMPERATURE IS ROOF MELT GOING TO WORK? THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IS NOT ALWAYS THE SAME. GENERALLY, ROOF MELT WILL WORK UP TO 10 DEGREES BELOW ZERO. HOWEVER, BECAUSE YOU TOSS THE TABLET ON THE ROOF PAST THE ICE ONTO THE SNOW, THE SNOW ACTS AS AN INSULATOR AND ROOF MELT CONTINUES TO WORK WELL BEYOND 10 BELOW.

6. ONGOING TESTING OF ROOF MELT HAS PROVEN NO LONG TERM ADVERSE EFFECTS TO THE ROOF OR THE SURROUNDING AREA.
|
|
| |
7. USING A 20 FOOT LONG AREA WITH ICE BUILDUP 1 FOOT IN WIDTH, 20 to 25 TABLETS SHOULD DO THE JOB. IF YOU HAVE AN AREA 6 FEET LONG
WITH A WIDTH OF 4 FEET, 24 TO 28 TABLETS SHOULD DO THE JOB. IT IS IMPORTANT TO EXPLAIN THAT THE APPLICATION SHOULD BE APPLIED TO EVERY
SQUARE FOOT.
