Thanks Ive been meaning to make one for a while to but i was waiting for the vac,s to come into stock .
I got the idea for p@f from on here and i used the 2 metre mini flow gutter down pipe for the tubing and to couple them together i use 55mm tube and some jubilee clips

I picked one up today but the hose is a very small diameter even though the inlet is a decent size. I need to find a way of adapting 38mm or 51mm pipe to fit.

if a bloke on ebay can sell a wheelie bin for a wfp system then you could def sell that as a domestic use gutter  vac mate!

for the money you have spent, you must be well happy with that!

easily sell them for £150+

i bet even some of us on here would buy one if they couldnt do it themselves.

very good mate 10 out of 10.

watching blue peter in your childhood has paid off  ;)
