looking 2 buy a packpack system for soft water area any recommendations on what i all need to start up willbe fo tops only . ty

[jouk45]

why just tops, if you have soft water do the whole lot, all you need is a di vessel. the best backpack is the shurflo, others will say the wcw backpack is good, also it is a bit cheaper.
you can do this with a shurflo

why are they a waste of time have you used one ? tell me more.

It depends entirely on what type of work you have or are likely to get and what vehicle you have. If you give some idea of the type of work near you I'm sure the sensible posters will help where they can.

Hi sfwc

I take it you already have provisions for making your water Pure. I would recommend a Trolley system if you dont want to go down the van route.

I have all three systems and all have there place.

1. Would be Van System
2. Trolley
3. Backpack

All depends on your budget.

Ionics were doing a deal for a Trolley set up with pole and a day on the BWCA course at a good price. Then you can be one of the elite and use there logo

Cant see it on the www but it's in their catalogue

Where are you based?

[carlm]

Believe me.  better to spend money on a 100metre reel and shurflo and little difference in cost.
 Ive two full units gathering dust .
On the offset what a great idea but after a week of use you need a week laid down on a solid floor to try fix your back , dont matter if your built like arnie swartz it hurts.

The batteries dont last a full day niether so you'll need a second one.
Your back gets soaked no matter if your in waterproof.

This  is only my ipinion but i'd think most folk would agree.

I run my WC business with a VW sharan, a backpack & 25L containers.

It does take a little longer as you have to keep filling it up. I have the WCW backpack which i personally find great for my workload. I keep it charged up.

i will be putting the backpack on sack trolley

[andyatkinson]

i dont understand why people do this, if your gonna put a backpack on a sack truck why not just get a trolley? you'll hold more water, i have a 50 lt omnitrolley its even gone in a renault clio when had to, and i get 5 days work from one battery charge. and if your in a soft water area then this is the single biggest reason GET THE ONE WITH THE DI on it!!!!!!!! fill with water straight from custies tap no carrying barrels, simple EASY!



TROLLEY

[Feen]

So Andy do you just wheel your trolley up the garden path, through the gate, avoiding the rabbit hutch etc etc. Of course a trolley makes sense if you have no obstacles, but what about some flexibility? Personally I carry the backpack when access is awkward (and I hate it, it's hard) and I put it on the ground with extension pipe when access is good. If I wanted a trolley, I'd get one that I put the backpack on when needed, not a hard and fast system. It's all about flexibility and your own jobs.

packpacks waste of time.

Probably right......backpacks aren't though

i am in the scottish borders

Be more specific? I am near Duns

[andyatkinson]

I have hardly any problems with access at all, and if i come across something awkward i just fetch a hose reel from car, that happens max twice a week at mo, but thats my work and it works for me
