which one have you got?  Was thinking of getting one to back up my main kit, to get around tight areas to save time messing with trailing my hose round.  Aslo to use as a backup if my main kit fails whilst waiting for parts.

Will make sure not to get the same one as yours

hmm, thats the one I have been looking at.  Not bad value for a back up kit. 

Anyone else had problems with this kit?

How long u had it for?

sounds a better system mate.  Which one was to £200 one?  Let us know how you get on getting it changed and if your replacement they send you is any better

i,ve got 2 of the yellow one,s and have the same issue with charging ie as soon as you put it on charge the light turns green , another problem i,ve had is the internal hose from the pump gets kinked and restricts the flow of water to a dribble , ive changed the hose but it still keeps happening , its a great bit of kit when working but unfortunately thats not often enough , i think i will go with the more expensive shurflo next time regards alan

thanks for all the info, you probably saved me a boat loads of hastle. But am sorry it is at your expense.  Shows how useful this forum is.

Surley if they are that dodgy, they need to pull them off the market so save their own rep

im not sure whether theyll be open tmr but ill give them a bell in the morning to see what they have to say
just looked at their website it looks like the model has been updated with a battery indicated
thatll be handy another gauge as well as a light to tell you it doesnt work

I not long ago completed WCW web page contact form, as was asking about the back packs issues.

The email bounced back.  hmmmm

Never used WCW as of yet, and and not too impressed so far.  Have read lots of good stuff on them too though, so will hold judgment
