Not sure how this would work, but you could run pipes from the barrels to the pump using splitters so they end up all heading to the pump.

Ive got a wcw backpack and its done me 3 storeys (ground, first & second).

Maybe add a controller unit to the list. Ive seen them on ebay from a company called 'crow electrical' for £69

RO isnt on the list ( or di if your di only)

A tap for your pole would be handy if your on limited water. Otherwise you would be spraying all over the place and loose alot of water.

Hope some of this helps :)

you could do with a bungalow pole and a harris instead of xtel!

Bare in mind your back pack is only a 35 psi pump and the longer and thicker your hoses are the more your pump will loose pressure and will battle to push the water up a pole and draw water from too many barrels joined together.
