looks a lot better m8 and is tried and tested!

Sounds good, but by the time you buy a trolley securing it you got to be talking £130-140,

But hey always good to have options.

Hi Jouk45,

I know roughly how much work I can get done with one fill,
I've dry once or twice but had air locks or anything, just fill up again and off you go.

thanks for the feed back

are people still using these ? 
cant see the point nowdays- we gave up on backpacks 8 years ago 

just get a tank in van/car , as you already lugging the water round , a pump , 100 mtrs microbore ( there's nowhere you cant get to with100mtrs !! ) . less hassel


even the cost is a no brainer - all them 25 lt's container's you can by a tank , the backpack price you can get a pump , so you left with just getting the microbore !! 
all the other bits you will be using anyway

Back packs are supposed to be for hard to reach areas only, cant believe window cleaners are running their whole business with these things. When we changed to WFP, 7 years ago my set up cost me £18000.00 some trying to start with a cost of £99.00 and wonder why they cant get any commercial work.

Who said anything about running a business with just a back pack. it's another tool.

Jesus you really can't put anything on this forum without some plonker trying to shoot you down in flames. Craig t I see you have the polarbrite website on your profile, that would explain why you don't like them as there a damn site cheaper than polarbrites.

At the end of the day it's just a tool if you don't want a backpack then fine don't have but don't slag people off for using them it's peoples own choice.

The shurflo backpack on your website over £200, yeah that makes real good business to twice as much for something

[elite mike]

[Craig Trevain]

Well I was a window cleaner and know that I couldn't , would drive me up the wall, but a hard to reach court yard, i'd be loving the back pack
