These backpacks are actually intended for farm use to spray weedkiller etc, and are called "knapsack sprayers", but they will work just fine for WFP

They are made by Shurflo, (who also make the pumps for many systems) and you can buy these backapcks from Shurflo distributers like Williamson Pump and Dual Pumps, but also Omnipole sell them now.

The cost is about £250

CLICK HERE to see it on the Shurflo Website







As you can see from the link above, it has a padded backplate and all-important waist belt, and it is shaped so that the battery slots into the housing without anything digging into your back.
