I think I've asked this before
« on: June 17, 2012, 11:43:18 am »
Will a Billy Goat leaf vacuum suck wet debris, for example gutters?

I've bought this one and will downsize the piping to attach to tubes. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270994619922&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:GB:3160

It does 2032CFM and say it sucks up cans and bottles so I don't see why not. Just don't know anything about them.

Told you before ..... you just dont listen  ;D ;D

We use two one VQ + one similar size to yours - But use them for what they are designed for  ;D ;D,
Cant see why it wouldnt work... more than enough air flow  will easily remove wet debris, try not to use it if you flush the guttering. As once the collection bag gets saturated the suction
drops off... Be carefull with the bags as they are expensive to replace.

Well that was a waste of time. Made a reducer, looked the part etc but loss of suction.

Used hose with a 50mm inner diameter too.

Oh well. Next...
