Re: What Back Pack ?

You could do it, but you would need to do a couple of trips to get water. The mondeo wont carry many 25L containers unless you have them all dotted about the seats. That wouldnt be too safe though.

I had a VW sharan people carrier and had 7 x 25L containers and the backpack in the boot, well away from me !

you can easy carry 8 25 ltr containers and a backpack in the boot of a mondeo estate my mates been doing this daily for around 18 months .
for £100 the wcw backpack is a good buy as it will able you to do most jobs the downside is you are having to refill after each house .
shurflo are allso a good backpack and 1 fill can get you around 3 houses as you get a better control of the water flow .
after having and using both wcw & shurflo i would go for shurflo , this is in no way saying wcw pack isnt any good as its a good tool to have and will be fine for most users needs .

Thanks for that reply, Dave (Shaw that is).
Do you think I could start out with just the shurflo backpack or do I need the trolley as well?
Is the shurflo too heavy to use on your back all day or do you reccommend a sacktruck?
My work is mainly very compact, i only need to move about 400 yards to do a days work ie:- 20-25 houses.

a shurflo backpack would suit you for the amount of houses you stated just doing tops , ive never used a shurflo on my back so wouldnt like to say just used a sack truck from day 1 ,i would imagine if you planed on using a backpack on your back all day you would need to be in a tip top shape of fitness .

Cheers once again for your reply.
I thinks i'll go for the shurflo backpack and I'll also go for a varitech or omnitrolley 50 ltr with fitted di filter.
My home tds is 35 ppm so I'll make some water at home for the backpack.
I'm thinking that the trolley will get most use on my compact round and the shurflo I'll use for my rural stuff where getting trolley in and out of the Estate car will be tiresome.
BTW i'm fit enough (still play footy) but i'm 52 so don't want to be silly.
It's raining here in Cheshire, so i'm having a day off.  ;D
