Hi, just wondering if you guys could advice me on a shurflo backpack , are they any good ? ...... I am thinking on buying a shurflow with a flow control and vikan brush head ....etc... I am buying this to do conservtary roofs etc just to make my job safer as these roofs can be very dangerous these days as they get bigger! your coments would be helpfull Thnks barry. :)

if its only being used for conservtary roofs you would be better just getting the cheaper window cleaning warehouse backpack , these are just as good as shurflo .
-
Don't get a backpack, get a inline DI canister from tap if your only using it for conservatories.
Your backpack will be empty very quickly, and you won't even have done a quarter of a big conservatory. Or put up with hauling 25l barrels.

Do you use WFP anyway? You know the backpack doesn't filter the water don't you?
You can just use ordinary water to clean con roofs, just connect pole to outside tap.

that would be ok but what if theres no outside tap to use ?

Maybe on plastic roofs, but on clear roofs, I would do it first with tap water, and then rinse with pure water.

Then you'd have to go either with a trolly, or backpack. It's not very practical, but for small jobs would be ok. :)

well lots off my custies dont have out side taps, all so I want it to look more pro .... etc... I do have a system ( pole with brush ) that all ready links up to custies out side taps that does a good job but I want to do away with hose's that get in the way especialy one roof Ive got to do soon on a £57,000 coservatary that is huge, basically I want no hose's on the job, so do you think a back pack will do it. I am going to use rain water out of my water butt to fill the backpack, Do you think it will be ok to use water butt water guys? as Ive been told and have read on here that water butt water is pure, as its rain water. Thanks barry. :)
