There are several spray bottles, spray heads, and bottles with caps. All may be purchased by clicking Spray Accessories.
Small Bottle, Small Bottle Kit, and Small Spray Head
The small bottle holds about 2.5 ounces (75 ml) of Spray Formula First Contact™. The small bottle and small spray head are matched to provide a fine mist spray for coating, cleaning, and protecting small surface areas up to about 2 square feet, 0.2 square meters.
The small bottle and cap are available if you want spare bottles; order part BOTSM.
The small bottle, cap, and small spray head may be purchased together so you may set up work areas with as many small spray bottles as needed. This set is part SBKS. Each Spray Formula First Contact™ Deluxe Kit includes a small spray bottle kit, SBKS.
The small spray head, which fits only on the small bottle, may be purchased alone. You may want to have spare small spray heads, SPS, on hand.
Medium Bottle, Medium Bottle Kit, and Medium Spray Head
The medium bottle holds 8 ounces (233 ml) of Spray Formula First Contact™ Solution. The medium bottle and medium spray head fit are an excellent choice for applications from 1 square foot, 0.1 square meters, to about 5 square feet, 0.46 square meters. The medium spray head fits only the medium bottle. This bottle kit is not available with any other First Contact™ kit and must be purchased separately.
The medium bottle and cap are available as part BOTMD.
The medium bottle, cap, and medium spray head are available as part SBKM. You may want several on hand to be sure there are enough for all the uses you will find for Spray Formula First Contact™!
The medium spray head, SPM, fits only the medium bottle. This fine mist spray head, like the small spray head, provides a nice fine mist in a tight pattern but it is not adjustable. The spray head is easy to maintain and will work for months with proper care; however if it clogs there is no reliable way to get it working again. You may be lucky, but we suggest having an extra spray head available.
Large Bottle, Large Bottle Kit, and Trigger Spray Head
The large bottle and cap are available as part BOTTR. The large body is a convenient carafe style bottle that is easy to hold while spraying larger surfaces; it holds 16 ounces (464 ml) of solution.
The large bottle, cap, and trigger spray head are available as part SBKT.
The trigger spray head may be purchased separately as part SPT. This spray head is fully adjustable from fine mist with a wide target area to a steady stream of liquid. The SPT delivers about 2.5 ml of liquid with every pull so it is recommended for large surface areas. If applying to a surface that is not flat and horizontal, the target should be at least 5 square feet (.46 meter square) in area.
Unlike the small and medium spray heads, the SPT is easily cleaned for the most common clogs. One should still follow the suggested cleaning processes to prevent clogs to prolong the life of the SPT. We have been using the same trigger sprayer for many months now with no problem.
