Im fed up of lumping my trolley in and out of the van when I want to use it, plus it takes up too much room, and I only need it a Cooke of times a month so I'm going to get a back pack, can anyone recommend one from extend2wash, or are they all pretty similar?
-
i use the ws series single speed 2.6ltr per min 70psi pump
cant fault it for the money.
if you want a multispeed the esr16 is the window cleaning warehouse
equilivant and the bp505 is the samea as the shurflo.
give john hewitt a ring he is spot on for advice and will tell
you the pros and cons of his packs
a top bloke!
-
esr 16 from aqua daptor fittings already on 3 pin recharger,bargain!
They are by far the best imo,i have wst 18 or whatever itis single speed,holds 20 litres but find it gutless!
-
my single speed backpack kicks out the water too fast for my liking
-
pay the extra lee and get one from wcw , at least you are covered if anything gos wrong .
Johns a good bloke at extend to wash but the products aint up to much .
-
Keep meaning to fix my backpack... must get new pump & charger
-

-

lee get a backpack from windowcleaningwarehouse mate good product keep a extra controller in just in case
-
What's the flow rate like on the single speed backpacks, to they kick out enough for fan jets?
-
the backpack at wcw has a good pump on it will reach 3 storeys mate and does work well with fan jets had a trigger mounted on the pole which bost the controller so i took it off now its fine :)
-
May sound silly, but do the pumps have a pressure switch so the flow can be turned one and off

its a small dial you just turn it up or down accordingly to your flow. and it has a on and off swtch. i just keep the controller numpty as it is and switch the power on and off.

You need to choose your supplier carefully. I didn't get very good after sales service. I returned my backpack twice to John Hewitt and it is still faulty, and I had to pay the postage.

can someone explain this please.

the dial is manually turned to what you want the flow to be whether its a trickle or a full blast its a good piece of kit mate. there is a on and off switch aswell as i said earlier.
