The WCW is not meant to be  repaired, anyone managed to replace the pump or battery ?

jeff these would be easy to change really straight forward just a cople of screws hold the pump and battery in place , ive not replaced them but had the bottom off to find out psi of pump , and its all straight forward to replace the items if needed to . jouk will try and do some photos later for you .

The PSI or Bar rating is the force that the  particular pump will pressurise the water up  to.
The flow rate is the amount of water pushed out per minute at full open flow.

You could have a 30 lpm pump that has only 30 psi or conversly a 1 lpm pump that has 160 psi.
So why quote a  figure of a given pump 40psi(shurflo backpack) so its not so good as an 80psi one(wcw backpack).
I was also told by a supplier that my 100 psi  shurflo pump when used in conjunction with a varistream that has its internal blue dial set on maximum, will give a pressure way way in excess of 100psi, so the psi rating is what I originally said and thats the pressure that the switch kicks in cutting the pump off.
I'm sure Alex mentioned he uses a 100psi pump but with a 60 psi pressure switch

 :) what's wrong with the shurflo backpack, mine's the latter model (cant remember the number).
It work a treat, never had a problem with it!  ;D

If I had seen this wcw backpack I would have bought that one if cheaper!  :'(

Personally I think we are all paying too much for these items!  ;)

Got my wcw backpack today for town shops no trailing hose and also ground floor windows for partimers.

The wcw back pack is great it has a carrying handle and shoulder straps but very heavy when full.
I have an inline tap to control the flow and also if this wasnt repairable the parts are replacable nothing stopping you from putting longer battery in and a bigger pump as they are all screwed into the bottom but it works fine as it is

Ive used a surflo too.sorry wcw outdoes it buy price and use
