Gutter vac first day
« on: January 31, 2013, 07:15:56 pm »
First job with gutter vac today.  Got to say I was very impressed with the job. So easy and suction was great. Think I'll push this a bit more now  ;D

i find anything over 36' of poles too heavy and unmanageble (and dangerous), i don't know how people manage to safely control the poles at 48', especially when you get big lumps of grass etc stuck on the end.

I didnt get it from here (cant find where I bought it) but this is the same one as what I used. The camera was just a standard 2.4 ghz one off ebay.  As for a video dont know how to upload but i can email it if you want?

Blockages?

yes gets far less choked up and mainly gives greater suction

i already had the 50mm hose and vac with those back breaking metal poles.. ;D
So when I got carbon upgrade I used that 38mm hose on 3 jobs and noticed a big change in lift performance plus I was due vac upgrade at the time and the difference was a lot..
The nilfisk has plenty of power just hope it lasts  :)
