Title: Gardiners backpack question hot water.
Post by: simon w on November 30, 2016, 07:13:06 am

We have one of the Gardiner backpacks about 1.5 years old so the latest model I think? is it OK to use hot water in the backpacks? maybe up to 60 degrees

The backpacks are really only designed for cold water use.  However, you can use hot water but it may be worth opening up the base of the unit and tightening all of the hose clamps as 60 degree water will soften the hose considerably and may cause leaks.

Thanks for your replies Guy's I'll use hot but lower the temperature a bit.
