You'll probably get what you pay for I've got 2 farily new Gardiner ones that were just over £100 each but I've already returned one with a leak but now the pumps on both pulse when the water cuts off, it's annoying more than anything else but it's not affecting functionality and I can't keep sending stuff back.

I've only got experience of the Gardiner V3 but I'd highly recommend it. Costs £85 plus VAT.

I have used shurflo backpack, wcw backpack, big boy back and Gardiner backpack.

Gardiner backpack is the best one I have use so far

I wish /emoticons/wink.png

Poles and brush are extra. Quite a bit extra depending on what you decide to go for.

I bought an SLX18, a brush and 30m of microbore hose at the same time I bought my backpack and the whole lot came to about £350.

***** I've been offered a brodex full system with trailer for £600 just thought I'd try my hand with a back pack 1st but perhaps just buy the full system if that's Wat a back pack will set me back...

A brodex system is cheap for a reason

Unless it comes with a decent livht pole and brush it won't be long before you will be spending more money anyway

Of course the pump will pulse if the flow is cut and the power is still turned on.

Yep, I have the Gardiners one as well. Hardly use it as I have a van mount and trolley, but good bit of kit when I have used it

they shouldnt pulse mate it means you need to alter the pressure switch a bit , which means taking the bottom off, contact gardiners they will explain how better than i can
