Evening all,

Just thought Iid let you all know that I've just purchased a back/trolley off ebay and it's turned out to be brilliant. holds 16 litres of water you can use it as a back pack or trolley.

I've a shurflo backpack on a sack trolley at moment but it's a bit of a nightmare.

This one is hundred quid all in, I used it to day and it beats the shurflo hands down, before I bought it I emailed the fella about parts and they do a full range of spares aswell.

Regards.

Hi Mike,

That's why I put up on here, seemed like a cracking deal.

[taylored]

have you used it?  thinking of getting 1 would like to know what thay work like

[Gordon_Taylor]

Yeah I've it quite afew times now robust, sturdy and it's very good pressure. I used it yesterday with a 40 foot pole with extra length of microbore with no problems at all.

how do you know when the water is very low, is there a section to see the water level,

[taylored]

thanks for that going to get 1

[Gordon_Taylor]

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.

hi gord

how many speeds has it got

[windiewasher]

i have my john hewitt esr 16 on the trolley i got with the wst18 from john hewitt,its excellent,it looks far better than this one and it has 5 speeds!
great bit of kit and very lightweight and portable on the trolley too.

hi gord

how many speeds has it got

[Gordon_Taylor]

it only has one speed but that works fine plenty of water flow gets the job done quicker, as for alternatives it's each to there own I personally like this backpack because i don't need to mount it on a trolley. if you want the wheels on fine if not take them off it's got a very strong handle and straps if you want it on you back.

doctorwindows how much was your unit?

Gordon

did it come with 5 metres of hose on it doc?

[windiewasher]

no i added it m8,joined it to the existing hose and then have a rectus fitting on the end straight into my trigger on my clx,works perfect!
can do a full house with 10 litres of water.
the backpack holds 18 litres of water and is still light as a feather when full!

did it come with 5 metres of hose on it doc?

[taylored]

how long have you had it doc? and how long dose it last?

[windiewasher]

a week fella people have had them 2 year and still in perfect working order fella!

how long have you had it doc? and how long dose it last?

[Gordon_Taylor]

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.

Gordon

[taylored]

looks like its 1 of them then   2 years is good for me and only £20 more
