Been thinking of buying a mosmatic with vac port what vac would be best to get Would have to be a wet vac I know but what make/ model also would need auto pump out as it would fill up very quickly what does every one else use? Jamie

Have a look at Kevins wet vacs, with auto dump out on ebay

I guess the Rolls Royce would be something like a Big Brute - went seriously into one of these - have you got about £8000.00 for the Auto dump out?

I had blocked a rain water drain without noticing customer sorted it and I didn't notice now I have brought a 10 mtr drain unblocked and rods but I thought if I had a drive or patio facing towards a house or where water would lay I could clean it all with the vac :-) do you use one or have never needed it?

Keep ontop of the drainage, put a brush or similar over to stop the crap going down the drain but allows water though, I always give them a quick blast with the lance once or twice during the clean to keep on top of them and to make sure they're flowing ok. This way if you do find they block up you'll know it was already blocked before you got there, I always carry drain hoses and they work a treat if any drains block.
I have also got a myudsucker which comes out as a last resort, but this is very rare..... I have thought about wet vacs in the past, they are a great idea but.... then I thought, how much gear do you really want to carry around with you? I personally like to be very neat and tidy / organised, there fore don't want to be tripping over lots of gear in the van.

Another angle, more fore commercial users is to use a flat surface cleaner with a mudsucker attached, like the karcher frv 30's and falch skaters, these are great devices as there is no generator / vacuum needed, just an extra hose pointing towards a drain, however a great deal of flow is required as the cleaning nozzles will need a minimum of 15lpm, (21 lpm in my opinion for the perfect clean), plus an extra 5 to 10 lpm to work the venturi on the discharge port

Got to say the Falch Scater is fantastic with the Vacuum take off but I think new they are about £3-£4K

Thanks kenny some good tips might get some mesh put over grids etc just to allow water through would the mud sucker go onto my set up I purchased a gx390 21lpm from omnipole with quick release lance and a verible  fan lance and would the mud sucker fit down a normal 4x4 or 5x5 drain pipe outlet??
