I need a backpack
« on: December 12, 2011, 09:37:11 pm »
Im fed up of lumping my trolley in and out of the van when I want to use it, plus it takes up too much room, and I only need it a Cooke of times a month so I'm going to get a back pack, can anyone recommend one from extend2wash, or are they all pretty similar?

i use the ws series single speed 2.6ltr per min 70psi pump
cant fault it for the money.

if you want a multispeed the esr16 is the window cleaning warehouse
equilivant and the bp505 is the samea as the shurflo.

give john hewitt a ring he is spot on for advice and will tell
you the pros and cons of his packs

a top bloke!

What's the flow rate like on the single speed backpacks, to they kick out enough for fan jets?

May sound silly, but do the pumps have a pressure switch so the flow can be turned one and off

its a small dial you just turn it up or down accordingly to your flow. and it has a on and off swtch. i just keep the controller numpty as it is and switch the power on and off.
