Cheap chinese crap sorry to say this i had quite a few of his backpacks they were ok for first few months then problems once problems start never run ok it was always switches that went faulty

Open your backpack up and see what amp the pump is and put in the same amperage as what written on the pump label. It`s could be a 3 or 5 amp fuse. I have used many of Hewit pumps and his stuff is cheap but still good. I have his 24-volt booster pump for my pure operating every day for 8 years never missing a day yet. To many only think things are good when it cost a shed load of money Sure Flow must be the most used pump and yet they give more trouble than most.
P/s most backpacks are not made well I have the Bright yellow from Window Cleaning Warehouse and I have rewired it and it`s only worked well since it`s rewired. Chucked out all the switches and battery and wiring and replaced the lot with soldered wiring. switches and a 12 amp hour battery.

Use a multimeter set on 20 volt and test to see where the power is not getting to. |Check the battery see if the power is going through the switch and if it`s got a flow controller check if it`s working. The flow controller is often the culprit. And also the battery connections> I solder them on as they work loose at the worst possible time.

Was fuse after all.

I quick fix then. I find the fuse goes if the pump labours a little due to my pole tap not fully open.
