Hi Peek I have a ball valve on mine its a waste of time and money In am going to take it off.its easyer to reduce flow with the valve on the pole.I have used mine for 2 days, but found it still was not flat, but still charged it as was afraid it might let me down.It only went flat when I left it for 2 weeks without use.

on one charge I get 1 and 1/2 days out of it.
Flow control, just use the tap on the end of the hose, thats what I do.
Most of the time I use it on full power, I can clean a standard 3 bed semi on one fill and controller on full.

Regardless of how long it lasts, I think you should charge any battery every day.  Running them flat is a sure way to knacker them.  Think about your car battery: every time you start up, the battery starts charging and they usually last at least three years.

if your concerned about the amount of flow,just
make a return to the backpack from the pole hose using a
y piece so not all the water goes up the pole hose.
then you can use the controller at the pole to reduce
the flow even more if needed,works as well as any pcb on
a backpack :)
