gutter vac fail
« on: November 08, 2013, 03:46:39 pm »
Has anyone got much info on the viper guttervac from guttercleaningsystems.co.uk ??
My first job with it today was useless, couldnt get any suction every time i lifted it out the gutter anything it had slightly sucked up fell out onto the pavement. Im not slating the company at all just wondering if im doing sumthing wrong or maybe theres a fault?  ???

You flushed it through with water I tend to do this on each elevation, small amount to keep hose clear

If you listen to the motor, very often you can hear the note change indicating a blockage or a kink in the suction hose. Sometimes the sludge on the filter will reduce suction. Wet sandy sludge is a pain.

It turned up today, it's taking a leap of faith to believe that it will be up to the job. The poles should be here tomorrow. I'll have a go at my own gutters on Sunday morning.

I think you meant to say poles, which is a vexed question as I write this, 16:40 Saturday afternoon.
I'll give it a little while longer before I say more.
