Barry was investigating brass and don't know what the results are. The rust you are seeing is just very minor surface rust and will cause no damage. Wipe some marine grease on all parts (inside and out) and pro0blem solved.
Gary, I'm glad this post came back up because it was in the back of my mind but meaning to ask you if it was still holding up. Question answered. How about the distance? Do you notice a big difference in distance than a ball valve w/ pressure washing tip (zero tip)?

Wanted to check in on this thread, how is the nozzle holding up. I have been using bob's gun but I am looking to make a switch to a more permanent trigger assembly.
Also were do you buy the trigger to attach that nozzle? Any leaking?
NO leaks, and I placed a brass ball valve on the hose end and screwed the nozzle into it. That way I have total control of the stream for distance and close up. Don't have to worry about a fan spray when you first start. Once you get used to it you'll know about how it will spray when you open the ball valve and then adjust the nozzle for your application. I LOVE it. GREAT nozzle.
Just got this from Barry if you're interested.

I loved that nozzle, but I only washed about 4 roofs with it before I lost it! Haven't been able to bring myself to pay another $50 for a replacement. A less expensive brass or poly version would be nice.
Lost it, or somebody stole it?? Why would you take it off the hose? It is the only thing I use and it stays attached all the time.
LATEST UPDATE FROM BARRY
Just got this from Barry. He had me send my nozzle back to him for evaluation ( he sent me a brand new one in exchange) so he could decide whether he could offer a lifetime warranty for chemical use to RCIA members. The answer is POSITIVE. See email below. Great way to start your 2014 season. Treat yourself!!! Mine had almost 2 years use on it.
My first review of the master water nozzle you returned to me after using it for more than a year has shown absolutely no signs of negative effect on the stainless steel material. Dimensions are all still the same as when you bought the nozzle back in May of 2011.
.
If we were to offer a lifetime warrant to the Roof Cleaning Institute of America, how many members do you think would be interested in the nozzle?
Got two of them and love them, though we only use them for plants and rinsing
Ditto! I still do not have my new trailer finished after having bought the trailer in August 2012. We have been too busy to finish it. Maybe this Winter we can get it done. It is getting a lot closer but a lot of design issues and hard work on top of keeping everything fixed on my other trailer and doing the work itself. I am looking forward to trying it on my air pump as it would not be usable on a 12 V pump.
