I have the one from gardnier does the job well and pumps to a 3 story building no problem do like the idea of the one from the cleaning werehouse with wheels as to carry 20 litres is heavy .

Iv had my wcw big boy for a couple of years now still going. Bungy it to a b&q sack Barrow. Now use a trolley for chem pumping.

Gardiners v3 because of the decent handle on it not one of those handle in the lid ones

Wondered when the weekly "what's the best backpack thread was coming"

 

[Andy]

I never pick mine up by the lid don't think it would take it. I always use the straps.

 

[Dave B]

On the gardiners the straps will be taken off straight away

which one would you recommend

I had the waterworks one from window cleaning warehouse when they had them on offer at £199. A bit of a pain to set up, but I'm not mechanical at all.

The next model up comes complete.

I think Greentoe started with the same as me but has upgraded to the better one.

Either, you will love it.

I have both the Hewitt and backpack from gardiners I use gardiners if not using van and the trolley is now in garage as a back up

Just my opinion but there both good machines

What makes you use the back pack over the Hewitt then?? I've got back pack at the min but I wanted something that holds a bit more water, is the Hewitt easy to move around and get in and out of van?cheers

Thanks for the replys, just been having a look at kobold and it looks good but how does everyone fill them up? Straight from your tank? Wouldnt be cleaning much, would be good if could find something with spare barrels to have in van to just swop over? Im new to this so that may sound silly to some people lol /emoticons/smile.png

Met a window cleaner with backpack on one of these Taktix | Easi-Rider Fishing Trolley | Fishing Trolley he had made modifications, such as adding on hard plastic section on bottom and put large bolts through to keep backpack in place, but easy to lift on and off when needed, the bit at top that sticks out, I think he shortened it and puts hose on, but not much. It was light, and has pneumatic tyres which is good for stone chips.

Much easier with gardiners in and out of van 35 litres plus trolley is a weight

I load both off my tank when and if needed
