I have bought the 18 litre one,not that impressed with it but it will do,there is only one speed and thats not great,I don't rate the straps either,the pad comes away from the stitching quite easily.
I took the straps off it and carry it when I need to,don't use it often but bought it for the odd access problems.In all honesty I would give it 6 out of 10 due to the pressure issues and cheap material.
I like a medium to high flow rate and with this back pack I can urinate quicker.

Bought 2 buggys from him, the stuff is junk cheap junk. when i asked him why the stuff is such poor quality he said "what do you expect for the money you dont get rolls royce quality when you buy a kia" glad he was on the end of a telephone an not in the same room..
customer service reflects quality of kit he sells

ive had a few tems off john hewitt replacement pumps for
my crap shurflo backpack and use a couple of his ws15
backpacks i have found far more reliable than the shurflo
and with only one speed im not spending out evry six months for
pcbs.

the only  problem ive had with them is that the switch disintergrates
after a few months,easy to replace though with conections
having spade ends,just went into halfords and spent a couple
of quid on a couple of replacements and no problems since :)

i find the speed ideal most of the time with the flow coming
out a little over 2ltrs per min but i have a hoselock connector
with a tap on it on the backpack hose which gives me plenty of
control over the flow which i need sometimes at the start of the day
as the battery has a full charge.
