Your best bet is to search backpacks on here
You'll find more than enough info

Give John hewitts site a try... Esr16 back pack is very good!

He will connect your required type of hose fitting, then you need a length of hose and a stop valve is handy on it to help any unwanted water leaks on hose when not in use - try gardiners pole systems for that.

Or

Window cleaning warehouse - near enough the same bit of kit to be homes.

End of the day they are just modified sprayers so most backpacks are near enough the same, few little differences but some little differences can go along way.

The esr16 - has a 5 speed flow controller so you can control the speed of the water your using, very handy for when/if your doing much higher work has at times you may need to turn up the speed to get the water out at a big height.

Used one for best part of 3 yrs now and not a single problem, very easy to fix aswell as not much to them really inside ...

buy the backpack from window cleaning warehouse or gardiners, get a sack barrow from ebay, a pole from gardiners (a clx 27 will do ) and all your water purification (ro system (450gpd) and resin canister (di polishing unit) stuff from pure freedom

i can give you a list of components to make your own last time a did this someone slated me big time for tying to help but i used them for 2 years before a full van setup and a mate i know still uses it

sack truck £20
car battery £10 scrap yard ebay etc
pro pump £25 ebay
controler circuite box, £5 pwm speed controler £10 ebay and a bacis 12v swich for the controler inline fuse on the posative
home made wood box goes over the battery so you have thge battery straped the the sack trruck then the box over that then a water tub on top of the battery box. all pump work and controler to be fitted on a bord on the back of the truck water butt is held on with a bunjie 25 litre tub that is with the draw pipe feeding through the lid to the bottom of the tub you will not have to top up the tub as you simply swap it from the one on the trolly. total cost for everything needed will not go over £100 hope this helps

you dont carry backpack on your back,   wcw   have a handle built on , very strong,   you can carry,  just dont fill it full,  or cheap trolley,   ebay.   total £170,    then your pole of your choice,  that price of trolley system with pole aint too bad.  keep checking ebay    purefreedom trolley,   secondhand around £300 - £350, more powerfull fittings, to move into vehicle without trolley.

funny you sjould mention backpacks,i used a sureflo for a while,but 11 months ago i bought a wcw backpack,much netter than a sureflo,but at the weekend it stopped jetting the water at a decent strength,monday morning at 10.00 i phoned the wcw and told them,today at 11.00 a brand new flow controler arrived,tonight its all fixed and ready to go,so well done to wcw
