Backpack?

Just been looking @ some backpacks.....

Am i going mad or with only 18l of water...... wont *** only last like 5 mins before it needs re filling!?

 
I use the wcw 18 litre job. Once you got flow right & got used to it it can last a while. Most backpacks only go to 20 litres as any heavier you can't wear em on yer back as to heavy which is why most of us use a trolley

 
A trolly is like £500!

A backpack + a sack trolly, just as good as the atuall thing lol. and loads cheaper!

No way would I carry a back pack on my back, am not that strong, am a lightweight, so would weigh me down loads!! /emoticons/tongue.png

 
ok guys yeah i know what you mean about the water with it been only 18l but i spoke to a windy who worked out of a corsa and this is all he used and 1 full fill he did a big old house with it most my houses only have 6 windows so would work out great i work on alot of terrace type houses so backpack is spot on for me.

weres the best/cheapest place for me to get a DI vesssel?

cheers again

them trolleys are good but p1ss take prices mate arnt they.

 
One full backpack gets me 30 minutes and 10 double hung windows cleaned all day every day. A refill takes about 60 seconds.

Try eBay. Someone on here told me to get mine from there & a few of us did. Can't put a link up as don't know how to do it but sure someone could.

 
ive used one of these for my back pack now for about six months, and still going. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9011791.htm

and ive been told that lidls do a cheaper one, but not looked that up yet /emoticons/smile.png make sure you tightly tie it on with a laugage strap, its so easier than the sack trollys on offer, hope this helps .j.
I used 1 of them & it lasted 6 months then the plastic holders broke by the feet but for the price I was very impressed. Got one from b&q for £24 pound. Metal bottom & the handle is telescopic so fits in the van easy.
