Hi,
Most of you with van mounts use a varistream,

what happens if you dont... ?  does the water belt out at full pace?


Also, i have used my pump from my backpack,,, and  put it into the van.... to try it out before getting the real deal  .... its 40 psi and easily does the work... even on setting 2

which brings me to my post.... whats the difference between having a varistream or having 4 settings on my backpack pump.....?

which is now a van mount pump....

does it do the same job for half the price?


cheers.

Gary.

Talking to yourself not is good even worse if you get a reply lol

I Think the reason is because no one has any idea if a pump from a backpack with 4 settings is any better or worse than a varistream,.... but i do know its a lot cheaper.

Would a Varistream brake the bank?

why get one is why i am posting     i am asking if they do the same job...... and yes it would at the moment actually. :

Don't know what the difference is anyway mate!

I was only joking not having a pop.

Do you use microbore 100mtrs or 60mtrs,the backpack has a good flow on setting 2 but if using an 18ft pole that`s only how far it has to go 18ft to the window.If it has to go through the microbore and then up the pole that`s a hell of a long way and to be honest the back pack is designed to give good pressure or flow out of a hose that is no longer than 4ft with a sprayer on the end.Pump and varistream on a board or in a purpose built box for about £200 and peice of mind.

hi,

it pumps through  60 metres of microbore... and up to any third storey window ... on setting 2.   ... 60 metres is a fair old way.... then up a pole.  so its pretty good. eh

The only trouble is once the battery power starts to drop you wont have anywhere near the flow you get on a fully charged one,in my opinion to get going buy a 250ltr tank pump and varistream.Because it`s cheap it`s tempting to use the backpack as a vanmount but it`s quiet cheap to buy the above and have less hassle.

Plus the varistream doesn't turn itself off if you leave it for a couple of minutes. Dai

well said dai why does the back pack turn off after  a few minutes any one one know why  ??marc

Battery saving,i think it turns off after 8mins.
