looks like it was made by the ira

[p1w1]

you could try the eastern trading ones or polar brite do a decent one and i reckon you wouldn't really make one cheaper then what they sell them for  boxed and ready to go.

sure i have seen a diy gutter vac section on one of the other forums,

[e newlands]

just procured a wet / dry vac gratis wondering if there was a attachment avaliable to bolt on to take a 2 inch hose---would work out cheaper than buying a new system

[p1w1]

could have a look here http://www.acsforums.com/forum/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?board=Gutter

What should you be paying? Apart from it looking like a bomb/space rocket LOL!

[Dave Willis]

Well three superlight sections = £300 or there- abouts plus the vac between £250 and £650 max, so certainly well under a grand would get you going.
Polarbrite even less 'cos you use your own pole to support the hose rather than sucking through the tubes.

the thing with a diy gutter vac is that you need the suction power as if you don't have that then its money wasted.

IMO and experience you need more than 3000W of suction power especially for well soiled gutters with large chunks of turf and plantation frowing out of them.

the one from Eastern trading on ebay for £499 looks not bad but I havent tried it so cant really recommend it,    I bit the bullit and bought and Omni-vac for £1500 as it has 4200W suction power and it has more than paid its way and it even lifts broken tiles and slates from the gutter.

as for that Darlek on acid for £1999 on ebay I would defo exterminate any idea of buying that contraption from yet another wide boy trying to rip people off.

No VAT is payable on this.  Cash in person preferred.

I bet

[Steven Shoreditch]

Let's all send the seller a mail offering £500! 

[LWC]

Thats really not all that bad tho £1500 for omnivac is it...
