CHEERS ANY ONE USING AN INLINE??(FROM A 150PSI PORTY?? SEEN ONE ON ALLTECS WEBSITE WONDERING IF THEY WOULD BE ANY GOOD)RATED FROM 100PSI.
-
I think it would have a problem.
I have always used a pumpup except for large office cleans where I used a homemade electric. ( Shurflo pump with a 5 lt can in a caddy.) Could use a 20 lt with a long hose saved a lot of faffing.

This is what you want: http://www.windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk/shop/backpacks/wcw-backpack-v3-flow-control.html
Get a 10 metre hose to replace the original and two sets of quick connects (one placed a foot or so from the body and one near the end) so you can refill it without dragging the hose with it and put an upholstery spray gone on when you need it and ask for a lance to come with.

What hose and lance does it come with Simon?
Is it easy to fit the QC's w/o any special tool.
If it is it's an easier alternative to me using
my spotting machine for big jobs which was my
idea.

It comes with a lance (you have to ask for it) but it is a bit flimsy. The qc's are dead easy to fit with O clips or jubilees, a much better and compact alternative to a spotting machine.

Certainly is Simon and also more portable and
can put it in back of van between jobs with no
chance of it slopping about.
Is the pump up to it with 30m of hose??
John

You might be pushing it with 30 metres of hose, 10-15 works fine. Make sure when you order the new hose that you tell them it has to fit onto the pump, otherwise they may send you the wrong one.

WCW good, I am sending mine back as its failed, no idea why.....
Apart from that I bought about 10 metres of tubing,some hose connectors and crimp able metal o rings , cut original hose,inserted new one and it's brill,
Just leave on a landing, it's long enough to do 4 beds without moving it.
I am going to order more tubing, start with converting my unit to 15 metres, if it's too messy, I will then reduce to 10 metres.
I removed straps , dodgy using on back, if you catch on architraves or knock a picture off the wall.....
plus 18 litre is 18 kg....
I work out before I go to job what I need, and fill unit before I leave.
Also, if you use a TM, saves on a little fuel you would use if using an in line sparayer, plus time running down to turn off TM whilst agitating in pre spray.
Just my thoughts.....
Been using in line sprayer whilst I send mine back, been ok, but I do like the back pack.

I like the look of this one - handy for keeping bottles of prespray ready mixed in the van (as well as acids or protectors maybe?). Not keen on the £300 price tag though :'(
