Title: NEW BACK PACK QUESTION
Post by: geefree on October 12, 2006, 09:50:11 am
Hi All,

Can anyone please tell me if any other company do the back pack.....

shurflo must have cornered the market here...

how frustrating is it to look for one, or ring up... and they all say, yes we have a shurflo...

type it in on google search.... same thing...

talk about not being able to compare prices  ???

Gary.

i fitted the hose to it from my pole to try it out for a laugh ,i them pumped it up fully and tried cleaning a window with it it lasted about 20 seconds so i got on the phone to cleantech and ordered a real one just to try on some of my work because at the time i was using trolleys.
i now only use my trolleys 1 day a month and the backpacks all the time .

when you do start gary with your wfp you will be a bit frustrated to start with , but stay with it and you like me will be over the moon with the results you can get with it.

Omnipole have a new 80psi Backpack.

Jeff are they any good?

My shurflo is great but the omnipole, 80psi surely youll use too much water if you use it full pressure? How many speed settings? I normally use my shurflo on setting 2.

What setting does everybody else use or should that b a new post?

That would be 10+years worth  :)
Are you talking about the pump or back pack. The switch has been moved from underneath the backpack.
