We use one for some awkward access commercials, and runs of inaccessible rears on some domestics.

It's another tool.

I have both a wcw one and a gardiners and i prefer the wcw one .
The gardiners only goes between 1 and 2 lpm no less with the wcw one you can turn it right down
To 0 lpm so you can control the flow more .

In my honest opinion id stick to wcw backpacks .

i have both, i cant see why you would want the flow turned right down? when used on a foldable trolly the both work the same, however, gardiners has a better charger and is more watertight

If you have a stubborn stain and need just a tiny amount of water to assist with the chemical you are using !!

Or am I talking crap ????

Yes the gardiners flows too fast and uses more water but just put a control valve on so you can lower the speed of the flow.
I love it as we are now a 3 man team and I carry a 25 litre drum to fill it up quickly. I use it every day and this week it lasted just under a week without charging!
