Nice idea about rodding it from the top on 3 storey using a pole but how do you know elbows are clear and free flowing for sure?

How do you guys check below the storm drains???
 
If there opened ended that's easy but below ground level???

because I have 2ft hose and it goes round the elbow when pushed all the way in

I've tried that method myself on 2 storey elbows without success as the hose don't go around the bends

I don't tend to mess about with anything below ground myself as is a completely different job to checking and clearing guttering & downpipes. However there are several ways to check guttering downpipes are free flowing.

One that I use quite a bit after I have used a guttervac is this method.

Is that kiam triple vac ?

[Smurf]

If that doesn't work to check and clear any blockage if I can't take the downpipe & bends apart part then I will use a pressure washer jetter instead.

No was a chepo triple being sold new on fleebay about 200 squid. All I did was use the base and vac motor head from it as used an old 4200 watt omnipole drum with the 100mm inlet so could use the omni hose I already had from an old 4200 omni guttervac.

I get through triple vac heads like there is no tomorrow at least one every year as the motors don't last me very long.

Steve

What's the tube inlet diameter on this vacuum mate? Would you recomend it as a good vac for standard 2 story residential. Cheers 

[Avo]

Yes it's a great little vac to keep in the van while out at work. 

Inlets 51mm I think off the top of head mate.
