is there anyway of moving the on/off switch underneath my backpack to the top or even mounting it on the trolley so its easier to switch it on or off.
 btw its the ws 18 from extend2wash.

I remember seeing a backpack on Ebay and the bloke removed the switch and had it placed on the lid or handle,I think its just a matter of removing the switch housing and adding longer lenghts of wire to the wires already present.

I have a switch cable tied at the handle, just extend the wires. I did away with the flow control, load of p i sh and just put on an off/on switch from a household lamp. Does the job fine.
While I am at it, does anyone want to buy an electronic drum kit?

yep easy just get a cheap through switch wilkinson sell them for a quid
by through switch i mean something you get on a lamp.get some two core
6amp wire should do,connect wires to existing pump wires and run up to
where you have put the switch and connect.

then run more wire from other side of switch down to battery a couple
of female connectors spade type which you can get from halfords
crimp on live and neutrals wires then connect to battery.

i have no flow controller on my pack but run a bypass back to the pack
