Can this be used for bleach and water solution mold?
Hi Rover No. This is for use with most consumer grade home and garden chemicals such as insecticides, fungicides, weed killers, and fertilizers Thanks for asking. Best Regards Thank you for contacting RYOBI, we apologize for the delay in response.

For bleach it would need viton seals and more chemical resistant plastic pump internals. I'd just get a cheap (disposable) manual pump sprayer if using harsher chemicals.
I personally like these, I have 2 but the piston will eventually rust through the pump diaphragm and it will stop working. Replacement pumps are decently priced, $16 I think and fairly easy to replace.

Any way to avoid it rusting? Just empty it completely after use so it's dry?

After rinsing blow air through the inlet with the hose disconnected while running the pump to push as much moisture out as possible. It's impossible to get all the moisture out without completely disassembly so eventually it will rust and fail.
Anyone know if I can use this with the 1 gallon tank? The Home Depot product listing Q&A has two relevant responses from Ryobi product support and they conflict each other. One says yes, one says no. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
