Looks good, but it needs some liitle wheels, and a tall handle like the one below which is much easier to move about.

I bought two from Gardiner last June. Both chargers packed in and one had a problem with the pump and the other with flow control. All of which were replaced by Gardiner including postage.
Do you think an eBay seller will replace the little wheels when they fall off or any other faults.

That looks really good actually. I like the handle being separate to the lid, and the fact it says quieter pump and that it's 22 litres.

I was going to build my own trolley system with 25 litre barrels but now I think I might just mount this to a trolley with a small reel on top.

Sorted.

The one with the faulty pump has had the whole bottom section replaced and has yet to be used, been on holiday so will try it within next couple of days. 
Don't think I'd bother building or buying a trolley as these are very economical for day to day use or a back up for the tank pump.

Does the v3 have a variable speed control on the pump?  Does not say on the web site. One for Alex.

Used it today to finish off as tank ran out on last house. Very quite and good flow control. The other backpack gets used everyday, not by myself but no complaints.

I have now put this information on the website. It has a variable flow control with a range of 0.35lpm to 2.3lpm

Anyone bought this yet?

It's been out nearly a week and thought someone would have reviewed it by now. Lol

Nice.

Is the pump as quiet as it's advertised to be?

Thanks pure.

I need to get it kitted out into a trolley like I remember you did.

Out of curiosity do you remember which hose reel you put on it? I just want a little one to fit 30 metres of hose.
