Im walking all of the roofs so I only need the chem to be pumped to the roof height would never expect to spray 15 stories. If your even spraying a three story from the ground your killing all the neighbors plants!!

Jim you will find help, call some of these guys. They are better one the phone
 
Do not buy 3/4" hose. That AOD will pump through anything. 3/4" will give more volume, but that's not what you need. You just need lift. Stay with your 1/2". If anyone here has ever had a hose 3+ stories in the sir on a lift, than they know why 3/4 hose is just way to heavy.

I respect the opinions and experience of Bill Booze, and the opinions and experience of AC Lockyer as well.
LOL, if you ever get 3 friends together to BBQ some Ribs, a literal heated discussion can sometimes start.

Personally, I LOVE 3/4 Hose. But I played Hockey and lifted weights for years, before I got sick like I am now. I guess I had strong wrists and shoulders, because my guys just don't like the extra weight of 3/4 hose like I did. They use 5/8 hose instead, and accept it loss of performance vs 3/4 hose.
Here is a crappy roof cleaning video I made. I always taught my guys to simply wrap the hose around the lift buckets rails, as u can see in the video.
This takes the weight off the hose, no problem!
 
When the chemicals start to flow that high doesn't it wet everything on the way up? for example, doing gutters on a two story house, doesn't the siding get hit before it finally reaches the target?
