I've been looking at purchasing the esr16 to overcome a mine field of dog crap on a customers house. Anybody bought one recently, and if so ,how would you rate it?
-
I have had mine for 2.5 years very happy. But the wiring is a but flimsy I have change the wiring to improve reliably and fitted a new larger battery. All the chargers are not up to much so replaced with a larger smart charger. I would still buy the same if I were to buy one now.
-
Thanks for that,
-
we bought one around a year ago and its much improved compared to the previous post problems.
its the same crop sprayer as the v2 wcw one but a little cheaper i think.
good charger, last around 10 hrs on a charge
-
Do you get any hose with it?

Do you get any hose with it?
no hose mate.
about half a metre on it with a rubbish connection.
its very very very easy to sort tho - cut the end connection off on the hose, them fit a pole tap (i used gardiners pole tap) then a standard microbore hose tail fitting (again i used gardiners)
stuck a protecta ball on it aswell (again gardiners)
then just cut off 10 m or so off your main hose. sorted!
i used the tap on it mainly so when it was in the van it wouldnt leak any water etc ...
-
Just had a look at the website, you can chose your fitting , rectus21 for me :)

yeah i know that mate - but its good a rubbish connection just before that.
so just cut it off and put the rectus back on.
end of the day its just a crop sprayer which john sticks a rectus connection on.
you will see what i mean when it comes through - not an issue at all tho.

Ok thanks, going to order one Monday, dog crap heaven is due this week :o

We have these for doing demonstrations. We also have the WCW one. Both similar, and have stood up to a lot of use so far.

Yes, the tap it comes with is not that great, so we'll be doing that (removing and adding Rectus 21) with ours.

That's an idea, how much hose do you think would be useful to have "bundled" with a backpack when buying?

how come you get away with a round about way of promoting yourselves all the time?
no offence intended.
hose wise - need enough to go along the length of a house (back or front length) but not too much to carry (hope that makes sense)
-
I only posted because we're using this backpack and have found it to be good. I'll edit the above to improve it if that's the way you feel. [Done - hope that's better]
As we're looking at carrying stock of it, and with Panorama's question about the hose I thought it would be good to get some feedback on whether including a hose option with it would be popular.

Don't want to because she got me the other 3 customers next to her. The reason I want the backpack is because it will save me a good 10 mins on the job. Alex, I use an aqua dapter with my clx so the hose you provided me with with suffice, just need a short length from backpack to rectus fitting :)
-
Who's Alex?
I think Wc Solutions mentioned that there's hose from the back-pack to the rectus. I have the back-pack here at the moment, I'll go and take a photo and upload for you to see shortly.

also handy for very cold winter mornings aswell mate, get a few 25 ltr drums, so if the tanks frozen or pump is then you can still work in the early cold/frozen mornings.
can keep the drums in the house over night etc ...

hi paul
can you tell me why you have that connector in the middle ?
-
i cut the hose before the black handle with tap bit on, then added a flow tap from gardiners then rectus fitting.
-

looks like that how he has added his on hose to the current hose provided with the bp
-
That's great Paul thanks for the pic. Looking at it I would cut the hose before the black handle and fit a rectus 21, then I can simple connect my aqua dapter hose with rectus fitting into that . :)

see sorted mate!
i paid £120 from johns site - think its gone up now tho

Big thanks to wc solutions and Paul from aqua dapter

Hi Mike,

It's not necessary, you could just have the hose-tail barb in the end of the pole hose.
It's a push-fit stop valve (one on each end of the pole hose) so when you pack away the pole hose can be disconnected both ends and the water stays in it. Less water on the floor and no lag when reconnecting. I put the small section (rectus to push-fit) in the lid of the backpack.

Yes, that's what I'm going to do with this one, just haven't got round to it yet! The tap's quite heavy/cumbersome and there are more connections to leak.

get some cheap protecta balls so when you are dragging the bp around the rectus connection is off the floor helps
-

Not much, there is carriage to add though.
Paul
-
I don't tend to bother with protector balls, I just wrap electricians tape around the hose in a rugby ball shape,
-
Are they the same as wcw orange one as I used one Friday and it was really good so looking at getting one myself.
-
Is the 3:1 lts flow rate the highest setting ?
-
Paul any chance you could send me your email, my address is in my profile
-
flow 1 to 5 speed.
on reg cleans we use speed 1 and have never used higher than speed 2
-
Paul any chance you could send me your email, my address is in my profile

id say yes mate - the supplier in honk kong or what ever sometimes sends it in different colours.
is this orange one a bit more see through than the blue on in the pic??
thats the only con about this bp - cant always see the water level well
-
Yes you can see the water level on the orange one,

You'll spend a good ten minutes filling it up.. I have one too.. takes awhile to fill.. but they're handy.
-
No I'll fill it before I set off to work
-
Paul , have you adaptered the backpack so I can simply plug in my aqua dapter hose and away I go ;D

Yes, that's what we're planning. No tap, just a female rectus 21 fitting.
Signing off now. I'll be out much of the day tomorrow, but will check for your email.

Ok :)

You got mail paul :)
