im pretty sure one of the backpacks has a 40 psi pump ( some turn that down ), so my guess would be the 30 psi would do tha trick aswell

Your right Matt the shurflo one has a 40psi pump on it, and most of the time mine is on setting 2 and there are 4 settings on it.

Yup I agree with Matt.  I think it would be fine. Check the flow rate though  You dont want it too high.. 7 ltrs per min max really.

I wouldnt bother with it though. You WILL outgrow that pump.  For the little it costs more go fr a 100 PSI pump.  That will then be good enough for anything you ever want to do in the future.

Trouble with 100psi is its too powerful and ou would need to regulate it which is another cost.

indeed

thats why a 30 / 40 psi just running is great, no need to fit bypass or electonic device
