i have both the wcw back pack and the shurflo.....
the wcw is best by far.... easier to carry , lighter, and less complicated.

I'm thinking of getting the wcw backpack on these recomendations I've read. My only concern is the single speed and 15 ltr capacity. It would only get used for awkward jobs where my van mounts just too time consuming. Could a flow controlling tap be used to conserve water use or would this put a strain on / damage the pump ?

i have the hudson b/p, which is pretty much the same thing, and i have a hip flow controller fitted and it works fine as the pump has a pressure switch and cuts out when turned off.
i have had the hudson for nearly a year now, and like yourself, only use it on awkward access jobs, and have had no problems with it at all.

I fitted a bypass to one last week,.. it works a treat!

had'nt thought of that
was it easy to do, got any pics ?

sorry, one other question
does the charger have any indication on it to show when its fully charged the battery ?
Thanks

My shurflo back-pack it ideal, I never use any other setting other than the first one, pressure is fine.
I should point out that I don't use any pole longer than 25ft!

Yes the on/off switch is in an awkward place, but it's doable!

I think they get a bad press because of the battery!
I just changed the charger, so it didn't fry the thing and have had no problems at all!
(at least 18 months now, that works out at £10 a month so far... Not bad, well worth it!)

could anyone please take the time to list what they use, ie backpack with what fittings hose and poles? trying to cost up the unit to being able to clean windows.
It does look like a sensible starter to enter the world of wfp. Thanks.

every one i know with the shureflo haas had the same problem... i had the same problemm with the pcb board...so i bypassed it!

the wcw back pack is far better... lighter ....easier to carry...lesss complicated...etc...

I agree with that just a little slower would be nice!
as I said, I have had only to use setting one!
