We use backpacks all the time as it's more suited to the way we work,I can fill a backpack in about 20 seconds straight from my van mount

I use backpacks, refill them from 25 l containers. Want to find a way to refill one whilst i work with another one. Any ideas?

a transfer pump seems a good way, i use gravity from my tank & it is a bit time consuming

I use gravity too from a 650l tank,but I have increased to 3/4" from the outlet and have 3/4" ID hose so fills backpacks or containers a lot quicker.

Outside van ports if you have a van system,I can use outside ports or gravity,gravity works best for me,quicker and no strain on battery or pumps ;)

i have 5 backpacks but the controllers dont last so have a look at the gardiners one looks solid. i have a base unit  hooked up to the barrels in the van have to keep it lower then the barrels as the pump will overlaod. use this as a van mount.

Gardiners do a 12 v transfer pump, 85 lpm, will refill a back pack in under 15 seconds.
