Could anybody recommend a replacement pump that will fit the gardiner backpack v2 and a possible link? It appears they are out of stock and need one pretty sharpish. Thanks in advance ?

I would honestly suggest if you were that reliant on a backpack I would order another backpack. Are you sure its the motor not not a blown fuse.Could anybody recommend a replacement pump that will fit the gardiner backpack v2 and a possible link?

As @sprucementioned fault diagnosis is paramount in this trade and the ability to understand how your equipment works. .Could anybody recommend a replacement pump that will fit the gardiner backpack v2 and a possible link?

Yeah I do have a little grey matter up there although stupidly left some degreaser in the backpack after a job and forgot to rinse it through, only realised 2 weeks later.. as regards to the fuse etc it all lights up just the pump doesn't work.. may just buy a new one save the faff.. thanks guys!!As @sprucementioned fault diagnosis is paramount in this trade and the ability to understand how your equipment works. .
Check the fuse
Check for a broken wire
Check the flow controller module output
Have you ran bleach through it ?
If the pump is knackered buy a new one
What make is it? There's a clue contract the manufacturer
Darren at DA Components sells diaphragm backpack pumps
Chemical rated options are also available
This isn't intended as a dig, I see so many posts where a degree of common sense would prevent such questions and also like i said, Understand and look further into the equipment you own as it's an asset
Bit of tfr isn’t going to hurt a pump like that we permanently have a Virosol mix left in ours all the time and they last at least 3 years and we put tons of hypo through them as wellThanks for the reply.. it's deffo the pump..

Ahh well had it 3 + years and only gets used every blue moon.. so wouldn't say it's been hammered either. Anyhoo thanks for your input ?Bit of tfr isn’t going to hurt a pump like that we permanently have a Virosol mix left in ours all the time and they last at least 3 years and we put tons of hypo through them as well
Not reliant, its just a upvc clean and no way around the back to run a hose except through the house which I wouldn't do, no outside tap so it's a case of filling from van and walking through.. luckily the price reflects the hassleI would honestly suggest if you were that reliant on a backpack I would order another backpack.

That's the best way to operate. Think on your toes. There's always a way to may money with legitimate reasonsNot reliant, its just a upvc clean and no way around the back to run a hose except through the house which I wouldn't do, no outside tap so it's a case of filling from van and walking through.. luckily the price reflects the hassle
