Nigel WCW Backpack - anyone use it?

windowgleamtrowbridge · Mar 24, 2018

I’m looking to move into WFP next month. Nothing Gucci for now just looking at a basic starter kit on WCW and getting pure from a local Spotless Water site.

Anyone know how much water the Nigel backpacks use? And realistically how much water you’d generally use for a day three bed semi?

Don’t want or need anything fancy at the moment. Just something that I can start using for WFP instead of trad on my small round plus a large car show room!

Eventually I’ll look into Gardiner brushes etc but not right now!

I bought the Gardiner 22l one, £115. Not used it yet but good kit they all say.

Well I’m looking at just getting the WCW starter kit for £240 just to start out. Just want to be able to work quicker and get around quicker on the bicycle rather than always having to take the ladder!

I've recently got the nigel back pack. Brill bit of kit, I fill it up using 25l drums. Highly recommend it.

How quickly do you get through a drum? And how many houses do you get out of it??

Mostly people recommend the gardiner one as you get good service and the batteries last ages. You might get 1 house from 22-25l if you are lucky, maybe better off just doing tops with it and tradding downstairs.

The gardiner takes 20l per house?

I probably get two back packs from one drum due to weight really. I mainly get one large house per drum (4 bed). If your doing two beds then probably two houses per barrel. All depends on technique and how dirty they are (obvious I know). Anyway for £100 to get going I recommend.

Best backpack ive ever had is the facelift lite boy. Although due to numerous complaints from people who had problems with them. It now looks like they are no longer stocking them which is a real shame as ive had 2 and theyve been fantastic
