> Is there anything written up about residential roof cooling with water > spray? Besides the glaring fact of WASTING WATER? Do the math on your water bill (or the electric to pump your own well water) and you'll probably find it's a helluva lot cheaper to just leave the roof alone. If anything, put in an attic vent fan. Water's not as harmless a material as one might imagine. The various minerals causing deposits, the likelihood of algae other mold/fungus growth and even it's weight are all factors to consider. Enough that unless the roof was designed with in mind would make it not only a bad idea but a potentially dangerous one at that. -Bill Kearney
