The one from window cleaning warehouse is a good buy at £100 but wastes to much water compared to a shurflo one as the are no settings to regulate the speed of the water you are using, however still a nice bit of kit but we,ll be sticking to the shurflo one after trying one.

I find it is perfect as you just work faster with a faster flow.

WCW backpack saw me through my first 6 months as a wfp window cleaner. Without that, I wouldn't be where I was today.

Though I have a van system now, the backpack is still used on a regular basis. I wouldn't be without it

To stem the flo of water why not use the tap you have with it, just open it partly and the amount of water will be reduced.

Alano,

Unless you intend wearing it on your back just get one of Glynn's 35 litre trolley systems £199 (£246 with VAT & Delivery), handy little piece of kit.
