Backpack Help?

[masonc536]

What's the best way of managing the hose when using a backpack?

 

[OoO]

I have only ever used a backpack strapped to a trolley.

You could wrap hose around the handles of trolley

Or this

If you are just going to be using the backpack on its own.

You can buy straps for your pole, to wrap the hose up and down the length of the pole

wcw backpack, tierack the tap onto handle, always at the top of bp easy to turn on / off/

if using a trolley depends which one, tie rack the bp tubing onto frame so the bp tap always ends up at the top handle, to acess . tie cheap enough to cut off if needed,racks £1 from the £ shop., i usually carry via handle now, less ******* about on trolley with bungee straps from £ shop. if i have a lot togeather throw onto trolley with a bungee strap.

i put in back of car , taupaline on seat or shower curtain, pain on a trolley, scratch car when lifting in and out, so easier to carry it by handle WCW one.

they sell seat covers in sainsburys for 2.99 /emoticons/biggrin.png i got my seat covers from argos tho 19.99 but there water proof and they protect the seats, so when you go to sell you have nice clean seats. also i do sometimes strap water barrels in the back seats.

i use john guest quick release fittings on hose & a gariners push fit flow valve on my backpack & carry 2 different lengths of pole hose in the van, so if i'm on a big job i put a long length on & a short length for estates etc, this is great for when its colder & the hose starts to tangle, but i still use gardiners soft hose which they dont sell any more & it dosen't tangle much anyway. i dont wear it as a backpack any more ( just carry it by the handle ) so even my short house is long enough to do 2 fronts with bpack placed properly - thats on 2nd floor houses -

I used to work like that, now i fill backpack and have a fast flow. Deffo using more water, but smashing out the work.

but you have water on tap at home, i gotta use rainwater. this downpour aint come yet nor has the snow :angry: my tanks bone dry now and i have just 75L of water left in barrels. means i gotta lug water up and down the stairs in my flat which i hate with a passion.

 

[simon]

is there no way you can use your kitchen tap witha a long hose out the door/window if your di only it wont take long - meanwhile think how fit you'll be getting.

new event for worlds strongest man - water cannisters up & down stairs then into back of a car/van /emoticons/biggrin.png /emoticons/biggrin.png

 

[OoO]

He probably lugs one barrel a week as he only has about 4 customers MOHAHAHAH /emoticons/tongue.png
