If you are in need of a portable system that can deliver outstanding water pressure and cleaning ability for areas you are looking to deliver purified water for your window cleaning needs, Gardiner has the perfect answer.
Gardiner is one the top distributors in Europe for water fed cleaning equipment for their innovative designs as well as outstanding performance and longevity in the field.
Key areas where the backpack can be beneficial are jobsites with challenging water source placement, courtyards, storefront water fed cleaning, an affordable way to give a second technician the ability to clean with a water fed pole or the occasional window located in an area that would be difficult to safely reach with a ladder. These are just some of the benefits where the backpack can help simplify some of your challenging work scenarios.
Version 3 is the current most up to date model of Gardiner’s backpack that’s been upgraded with its technical components along with a few mild cosmetic changes. It’s capable of holding up to 6 gallons of water with a 60psi pump that can produce anywhere between .25-.50 gallons per minute. If you have a high window to get to, the backpack pump has more than enough power to boost the water over 60 feet in height. While it can be worn as a backpack most prefer to either carry the unit, or fix it to a handcart for easier transportation.
All backpacks ship from our warehouse with a rechargeable 12V battery, charging cord along with all the fittings to connect directly to your pole hose. On a full charge the battery will provide superior water flow for up to 9 hours. If the ON switch is in the “I” position, you can control the flow rate on the turn dial located directly next to the ON/OFF toggle switch. This allows you to dictate the amount of water you produce. If the ON switch is set to the “II” position this would produce the maximum amount of water the backpack can provide. Most technicians find that the dial set at the lowest position provides more than enough water for an excellent spot free shine.
The Gardiner backpack is for storage and use of pure water only. There are no filters built onto the backpack. You can use distilled water, or a separate Pure Water System to fill the unit up.
