Whats the difference between the Shurflo backpack and the Omnipole one? Ive picked up a couple of houses that have courtyards so think its about time to invest in one.
-
Omnipole has got a bigger capacity and higher PSI pump (80PSI). I think.
-
You can adjust the flow on the Shurflo, but not on the Omnipole backpack. I've had both and to be honest there's not much in it, if I were you I would go with which ever one is cheapest!! ;)
-
Cheapest one it is then. Im not going to use it much, only the odd job here and there.
Isnt Omnipole bringing out a new backpack, do you know whats different about that?
-
if you cant adjust the flow on omnipole at 80 psi, being twice as much as the shuflo, must be going through water like anything.
well, today i filled my backpack and did 3 £5 bungalows, and 1 £8 bungalow and still had water left over
-

I think the Omnipole one is pre-adjusted to about a litre a minute which is ideal.

Is the WCW the cheapest place to buy a shurflo?
-
in the uk yes, but you can get em on ebay from the states, takes 3 weeks and costs in the region of 120 delivered.

Have you bought one from the states? Are they the same?

Sorry to go off topic, but I can't belive your cleaning bungalows for only £5!!!! I won't take on any job for less than £10 these days, and introducing a minimum price was the best thing I've ever done!! In fact I'm considering increasing that to £25, so that I can get rid of all the small stuff.

niceandclean apparantly they are not giving a guarantee anymore when you buy the backpacks, just get it from ebay,
