Hi Alex,

Im no expert as im looking for my first Backpack at the moment, but I wouldnt personally bother with that one as its hand pump operated

Everybody seems to recommend the Shurflo backpacks and the cheapest ive found from a UK supplier is this one

http://www.coleparmer.co.uk/catalog/product_view.asp?sku=7060505&pfx=WZ

Although im unsure if its the SRS-600 model (the latest one as far as im aware)

I know you can get them on ebay for less but after delivery from the States and the possibility of being stung for import duty theres not much in it

Theres also these

The delivery time on the shurflo backpack on the ColeParmer site states 48 days..... :(

Has anyone bought from these guys before ?

I'm also in the market for a shurflo, the best alternative I've found is the Cleantech site, plus the guys there are very helpful and knowledgeable, should you have any queries.

Any further recommendations on other suppliers appreciated....

Dave.

Dave,

It was somebody on here that mentioned the Cole Palmer site to me and he mentioned that it said 48 days but he called them up and they said they had them in stock and got one to him within a week

I guess just give them a call and see what they say
