Does anyone know what size nozzle that I could use on an air pump to mist the gutters with chemical and not waste a lot of chemical. In the past I have used a automatic back -pack sprayer. The air pump that I have will work fine with a low orfice nozzle.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You can go down as far as you like Roy on an AODD Pump.
I would thing a 1 to 2 gpm will be fine.

A 1515 nozzle is good for misting the gutters, however I use a handheld sprayer, then a little brushing agitation is required, and simply rinse off. If the other stuff doesn't require agitation, I will certainly look into it.

Agitation_

I'm using the F-13 (gutter grenade) after I've softwashed the house. I apply it with a pump up, let it dwell 5-10 minutes and then rinse off. I rarely have to brush it or agitate, but I think the secret is to wash the gutters before hand and cut through the "crust"

Does Gutter Grenade require soaking vegetation before hand?

Yes, you do have to be carefull of plants. I have used gutter grenade and it works but it will spot plants. They need water before and after. I believe anything that will clean tiger striping off of gutters can be hard on plants.
