Looking order a backpack tonight after my surflow pump died and cant find a replacement pump apart from a sureflow 1 that costs £60-70 sheets and from what i can see i can get a new 1 (other brands for £100-130).
Am i best buying a new 1 or is the surflow backpack worth fixing up instead of getting a new 1???
If a new backpack what is the best for money regarding reliability???
Cheers.

Theres cheap pumps on ebay about 14 quid I think they are.

you an get a 70psi 2.6l pump that will fit the shurflo
pack with a bit of a squeeze from john hewitts for around £35

I dont think the will fit in windie?
Im pretty sure the only pump that will fit is a sureflow pump as havnt heard of anyone replacing one before.

yep did it with a shurflo pack..dimensions of ws packs are more or less
the same,its a bit of a squeeze will give you a chance to wire the pcb/on
off switch to the top of the pack where it is more convenient.

that unless you actually wear it on your back

give john hewitt a ring and he will put you exactly right
on which pump flow per min,left/right intake etc

 his backpack pumps i have off him have all been physically
the same size but he will give you best advice as i stated above
