Hi,good link. I see sprayer has adjustable pressure from 30-100 psi, certainly would be interested. Have e-mailed them to see if they can post to UK.

Price, whilst not cheap is nonetheless comparable with the shurflo backpack bought in the UK. There are 2 models, the more powerful sprayer which can pump upto 100psi works out at £170, so allowing for postage if they supply to the uk would probably work out at around the £200 mark.

noticed the battery is 5 amps if running at 100psi would this relate to about 45 mins battery life just wondered as the 100psi   pump we have  runs at 7amps per hour

Shaun,

I think you'd find it costs around £60 to £70 for postage; then the UK delivery firm will add VAT and a handling charge on top of that.  So I think the whole thing would work out at around £270.

I think that the shurflo backpack at £170 pound is cracking value for money.

And as for having 100 psi, with a backpack (or the Rocket), you don't really need that pressure as I doubt you'd use it with 100 meters of microbore.

It does look good though.

I reckon it'd be better than similar WFP trolley systems with a similar water carrying capacity and at around half of the price too.
