No I put it on a folding trolley, I only use mine for the occasional jobs, good bit of kit.

[Kwackers]

Going to be my main gear to begin with, but to be honest, it will be slow for a few months anyway

They`ve just started selling folding trolleys at wyvale garden centres £19.99.

The problem with an ordinary sack truck is with access to the switch.
That's why I use a shopping trolley frame. If you see an old dear with one in the street, grab it. Or do what I did and buy one for a quid at the car boot

The folding trolley has holes in just the right place to activate the switch.

I wear my back pack and use it nearly 100% of the time. I found it uncomfortable at first but it really has saved me so much time. This is the one piece of kit I would not be without.

[Alex Wingrove]

or put the switch on top, ask jeff for info sheet on how to do it

[niceandclean]

Where is the cheapest place to buy a back pack??

[Spursboy1972]

I bought mine from Window Cleaning Warehouse. They were doing a promotion and selling them for £159.99 + VAT and free delivery. That I thought was best and I got it next day!

[Kwackers]

Thats good wish i'd asked just paid 175+vat

Everyone says it works out at about £150 from usa

What else wdo you need to go with it?

pole and brush and then your filter kit?

[Spursboy1972]

I took mine into Pirtek and they adapted the end so it took Microbore fittings which I have on all my poles. They also put a tap on it for me which meant that I didnt have to keep reaching for the switch. There are guys that have managed to incorporate the trigger from the lance but I chose not to. I fill mine form the tank in the van by using a 12v submersible pump. The backpack fills inside 90 seconds so its really quick. I am sure many people use different methods so I suppose it's just a case of working out which suits you best.

[Kwackers]

Backpack, RO and DI for Hard water, Pole, Tank to Filter water, thats about it, maybe some adapters for poles switches etc liketony said

Hi Mate,

Good luck with your backpack, I've had mine 2 weeks. I got mine from cleantech and to be honest they were brilliant with me. I bought the backpack and a 30 foot universal pole to get started which came in at around £420 but its a fantastic piece of kit and I would say get one as soon as you have the money.......then get out canvassing because you will fly through your work. I have to say though the lad I dealt with at cleantech was brilliant and the backpack came fully assembled ready to work. I'm sure it was even charged, all I had to do was fill it up and off I went happy as Larry. Honestly I was putting bits and pieces off, not buying them and now I wish I'd put every spare penny into getting the kit because its amazing.

[dazza]

i think this is the way i may go.... do you put it on a trolley?
