Before procurement
FAQs on the backpack pump
How long does one fill last?
20 liters at 120 cm³ per pump stroke come to around 166 strokes. Every stroke delivers the same amount: the spray mist spreads it over the area, the straight stream carries it over 12 m.
How heavy is the backpack pump in use?
2 kg empty, and with 20 liters around 22 kg. The separate hip belt shifts the weight onto your hips, and the shoulder straps are padded.
Can I refill from open water?
Yes. The fill opening is 100 mm wide and has a strainer insert that holds back suspended particles. In addition, a stainless steel filter sits at the pump suction inlet.
What do M2 and B1 mean?
The fabric has a flame-retardant finish and is classified under UNE 23.727 in class M2 and under DIN 4102 in class B1. B1 stands for flame-retardant. It is also tested as temperature-resistant from −40 °C to +70 °C (EN 1876-1).
How is the pump maintained?
Without tools. The double-action piston pump in chrome-plated brass can be taken apart, and the stainless steel filter at the suction inlet is rinsed out. The quick coupling lets the pump come off the tank completely.
How do I stow it in the vehicle?
The tank is flexible and folds flat when empty. You detach the pump via the quick coupling and put it next to the tank.
How fast is delivery?
Usually in 5 to 10 workdays as a parcel. For larger quantities, we state the binding lead time in your quote.
Can I get a quote for several units?
Yes. You get a formal quote with line items and lead time, and purchase on account and XRechnung are available. Let us know how many responders or vehicles you are planning for.
