Have just bought a backpack and would like to know if its possible to decrease the water flo, as its coming out too fast even on the lowest setting. Are there nozzles i could get to make water last longer or would that cock the pump up?
Any suggestions?
-
someone on here split it the feed hose with taps into three so the spare two when open relayed back into backpack.
-
Close the switch on the tap, if you dont have a tap I would strongly recommend putting one on.

What back pack is it? Shurflo?

No. I`ve seen on another thread he`s got the WilliamsonsPumps/WCW one.

I tried to put a tap in on a 50 litre system I had some years ago, but it didn't really work. It somehow would move and my flow rate was all over the place.
What sort of tap would you recommend?
-
a microbore tap, the ones from WCW are very good, I've been using them several months with no leaking and the tap is still firm.

My shurflo is about three-or-four years old, and it's still going strong despite the hammering it's had; and it has been hammered.
But I bought a WCW backpack (should be here tomorrow) as a back up, so thanks, Matt.

Tosh,
A bit off topic but how much water do you use (on average) a day?
Do you use a car and is your water in containers?
Cheers,
Gerry.

hose from backpack
split into 2 using a Y joint
1 tail just joined back to the pipe ( thus going up the pole )
1 tail returning back into the backpack tank , on this pipe fit a little tap, when you need more flow at the brush, close the tap, when you need to slow the flow down, just open the tap a little
