Title: Backpacks
Post by: dave0123 on May 24, 2009, 06:00:45 pm
Hi there,

I have a 250lit system in my van which am happy with and i do my big houses using this but on the small 3 bed semi's where maybe i might only do a few windows above conservatory or getting round the back using the van system does not seem to be any faster for me!

i dont have many houses close up such as 5 or 6 houses in the same road mine are spead out a little through a few roads apart.

I was thinking getting backpack for these smaller houses that will get WFP wondering if it is much faster? even though u have to top  up here and there.

Ive been looking at the WCW backpack and the Omnipole one does anyone use one of them? which is better

Dave...have a van system and a backpack...just different tools for different jobs...I found that I just got into the habit of using the van mount for everything...then I started to keep a diary of each job to see how I could be more productive both in time and effort...

For what backpacks cost...I find my is invaluable for certain jobs...where dragging a load of hose from the van can just become too time consuming.

Cheers
Dave.

Yeah thats what i was thinking sometimes it just takes ages to get the hose out and put everyting away again well over  5 mins setting up and packing away again.

what backpack do you have? i was looking at the WCW one but the omnipole one looks good too that they sell on ebay

hi lee + dave

no i dont have one, but its a good price ;D

if you get a cheapo sack truck its a very cheap trolly system

besides you dont have to fill it right up to use it as a backpack

dccleaners has just ordered  one ,will be interesting to see how he gets on
