Google it,I seen them for £199 +vat  a while back but can't remember where :-[It wasn't a window cleaning supplier tho.IMO you would be better with the gardiner or WCW one anyway,cheaper as well ;)

best place for a shurflo backpack is the bin

overpriced for starters and if use daily the crappy 40psi pumps dont last
the switch and pcb dont last and they are the only pack i have ever had that the tank itself leaks

part replacements are shockingly overpriced.

get wcw ,john hewitts or gardiners

You must be cack handed. I find shurflo backpacks bullet proof im on my 2nd 1 in 8 years. The only reason i had to say bye to my other1 was because someone stole it!!!.
Never had any pump issues or leak issues. Cant fault them. Worth every penny.

£200 is value ;D ;D ;D ;D

you can exact one from john hewitts with a better pump and better made and nearly half the price

you think their weedy pump is bullet proof  ;Dhow often do you use a backpack
once a week by any chance

the pcb is as fragile as they get...check backposts matey i cant count the amount of
people who have complained about their pcb and switches ;D ;D ;D

I have 3 shurflo's, they are used 5 day's a week  6 hours a day,
and in my opinion they are the best by far, it is true switches are rubbish
but i use my own switches,  john's backpacks are well worth the money
but if your planning on using every day all day has to be shurflo.

PS if using on your back, but if your going to put on a trolley go for john,s.
