WCW backpack
« on: April 23, 2012, 11:08:53 pm »
Bought one of these about three weeks ago,filled it up in the morning,and by the time I got to first job the van floor was soaking wet.Took it apart and tightened everything up but it still kept leaking,I was so P'd off I sent it back and got a replacement and...........................................THAT LEAKS TOO >:(.I expected better from a new product.I am gonna replace the cheap hose that is used in the backpack and use O rings and see if that helps.

KS Cleaning, did you send it back or did they send you another one?
I would have thought they would have sent you a new one.
Unuasual as mine have never leaked, I hope they sent you the parts to repair it.

Yes I sent it back,they sent a replacement n that leaks as well,so now they have sent some microbore and O clips,the hose they use in the backpacks is rubbish!

No,opened it up and there were two things causing the leaks.The plastic threaded part at the bottom of the container wasn't watertight and the hose clips that come with the backpack are not fit for purpose.
