Big boy backpack

[bill]

Ive started using my backpack wots the best flow rate to use as its got a flow controller

 

[Andy]

i have a big boy back pack the flow controller has long stopped working. I used to have mine just below half way although there was a large difference in pump sound between min and flat out wasent that much diffrence in flow rate it just runs flat out now and i have a pinch in my pole hose and controll the flow like that.

Thanks andy how long does a tank last at that setting

cant remember now if you dont have a pole tap or pinch the pipe from window to window it wont last very long.

the back pack hose is only a couple of feet its a pain if you keep trying to bend down to turn off the water.

Do you have to give it a good rinse out before you put pure back in

 

[Andy]

i give it a swill round with tap water tip it out and i put some more in run it for about 20 seconds. tip the rest out then good to go

yep

to the point...

yep me rinse everything.....including me....bloody water proof my ar se....:rofl:

 

[Andy]

YES and dont let it dry i normaly do about 15 ft and a quick scrub with the brush. then with water brush and rinse most of the time just need to rinse.i normaly connect to custys out side tap if they have one and make sure you rinse it off of any glass
