Title: wcw backpack
Post by: realclean on April 22, 2010, 09:41:28 pm

just got one of these, my question is, mine came with a tap on the  hozelock connector, if i turn down the flow the pump makes a different noise, and if i turn the tap off the pump stops but still makes a clicking noise, is this normal? thanks in advance.

The noise change is because of the reduced flow and the click noise is the pressure switch doing its job.

All normal :)

that slows down the water flow, but will put the pump under more pressure.
so it will not last as long.  :-\

It is perfectly normal, if you listen to a normal pump either on a trolley or van, they both make these sounds.

At times you might have to adjust the pressure switch though.
