hey, a friend of mine bought a backpack from WCW. He hasn't used it 5 times yet the pressure switch on the pump has broke twice. The first time WCW sent us a pressure switch. But now it has happened again we don't know what to do! I will ring WCW and see what they say.
i was just wondering has anyone else had any problems with the backpack?
-
are you using a tap on your pole with the backpack ? if so and the tap aint fully open it will break the pressure switch .
-
i know it came with a microbore tap, im not sure if he used it or not. Surely that is the point of a pressure switch, to allow you to use a tap or trigger so it will cut the motor out when the pressure builds up. Is it just that the components aren't up to the job?
-
ask for a replacement unit, I use a tap on mine all the time, they are made to be used with a tap.
-
if the tap aint fully openend up the pump will keep starting and stoping and damage the pressure switch .

I have a microbore tap on my WCW backpack, never had a problem. the switch kicks in when the pressure builds up.
