backpacks
« on: November 27, 2008, 10:39:20 am »
I do up to 3 story domesitc properties and was looking at buying a backpack.Most of the  houses will use 10 l of water when cleaned regularly.
Does anyone have any suggestions.Can back packs go higher than 30 feet?I am using  trolley system at the moment and the in and out of the car is quite time consuming etc.

believe it or not i used the backpack at 70ft with good flow rate at setting 4....equivalent of doing 30 foot work on setting 2 i reckon.

I use a backpack, but keep it in the van cos its got me sandwiches, flask and spare pair of socks in it.

good idea that putting all that stuff in the backpack (small lid mite create a problem getting all these things back out thoug), you can use it like a holdall but put it on your back....i will call this new invention a "backpack". ;D

I use my Shurflo backpack at 60 feet on flow setting 4 - brilliant!  It's on a couple of warden assisted flat blocks and it's superb as I don't have the worry of trailing hoses that are going trip up any unsuspecting elderly ladies and gentlemen.
