Is that a 3600 watt?

I think I’d prefer 3000w max so I can always use standard uk power supply’s.

Also, check it comes with all the right filters etc…



I’m thinking this one

https://spareandsquare.co.uk/products/ipc-gp-2-62-wet-and-dry-vacuum-cleaner-62-litre-2800w-240v?variant=44264507408634&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwISlBhD6ARIsAESAmp5YBMU0KSgY8v9AT9A2ra61I3mNQiIoY5pzKao2TxxAUiaUE_N2R44aAh1bEALw_wcB



Or the huyunadai…

Yes it's 3600w you would probably want a big genny to be safe although a lot use the predator vac which is also 3600w.

But you could run it on 2 motors and then have the third in reserve for when you want to suck the roof off the house 

That 2800w twin motor ipc looks a great mid sized machine. I'd take that over the hyundai all day long at that price. Bare in mind the hyundai is 100l it will be very big which may or may not be good depending on what you want. But 2800w in a 62 litre drum may well create more vacuum than a 3000w in a 100l drum.

Thing is with me if I got the 2800w one and it was really good I'd be thinking hmm if this is good wonder what the 3600 is like probably end up buying both 

[zesty]

Yeah it’s only cos the Hyundai is cheaper 

Might go for the 2800 watt one.

Decisions…

I've just come across this. Same ipc vac but it's says oil ? Not sure what the difference would be guessing it's made to clean oil.. but it appears it has a side entry.

They are only 20 mins from me so I'll give  them a ring tomorrow and hopefully be able to go have a nosey they have some other ipc machines as well

GVS used to use that vac

Any tips for reducing hose blockages ? Or is it just one of them things. My poles are 44m so think the hose is a bit narrower than  the standard 51mm.

Did a job this morning took 40 mins. Could have done it in 20 but I had to unblock the hose about 6 times it was doing my head in. Stones were the main culprit I think.

Would wider hose help ? Also what's the best way to unblock I tried sucking water through but too blocked to work so ended up just beating it on the floor and of course all the crap kept spilling out all over the place  it's a messy game

[zesty]

Stones in the gutter?

51mm gonna be way better!

I’ve got 44mm at the mo and find it ok, but my issue is blockage at the goosneck part.

That’s why I’m going to get the quick release pole from gutter sucker direct, you twist the pole and the clumps fall out the goosneck

That’s the other good thing about the atom - it has a suck and blow function, my hose got jammed a few times and I switch it to blow and all the crap blasts out . Other than that , you could trying flushing it out with a hose pipe or every now and then , let your vacuum chug half a bucket of water to continually keep it clean

[Smudger]

51mm all the way

yes the bucket of water is always handy but if very blocked then turn the hose around

beating it to death although satisfying - tends to shorten hose life

In all the years we have been vaccing must be around 18 I cannot remember having a hose block on a side entry vac on a front entry yes they can , we use 51 mm I wouldn’t bother with smaller hose or poles much quicker and very rare to get any blockage apart from silt which a bucket of water will sort out

I rarely get a blockage  , bone dry pine needles are the worst  culprit.

A powerful vac seams to bend them in half and suck them through the 51 ml hose don't usually have any problem with them

Maybe is because its only a small vac then I'll have to get a big one soon

I didn't think you'd have a problem.

We don’t , the only point that does does  block occasionally is the bend in the carbon goose neck but it’s only a handful of times in 18 plus years

The release pole looks handy but the price is a rip off, they also do a rigid gooseneck at 270 quid   

[zesty]

It sure is expensive, I’ve been looking at the kiam poles, they seem more reasonable and are 51mm

Quote from the carbonfibretubes place, these are the 2m modular tubes.

[zesty]

Interesting.

£300 odd.  Not bad

[zesty]

This is probably better value considering it’s clamped sections and comes with all the gunbbins

I’m thinking this pole set with the huyundai 3000 watt vac.  I reckon that’s a good a combo that will deal with anything in its path.

Not sure I can justify the extra price of the ipc machine, I don’t see how it’s going to be better than the huyundai.

Forget the hyundai  I've just had an email back about the ipc 3/78 machine i enquired about (same as the gutter sucker expert)

It's only 348 plus vat! Bargain

It's more powerfull than the hyundai, should last longer has better motors and will have readily available spares etc.

I've just emailed them back asking to order one.

I might even just get alloy poles for now or make do with my 44mm carbon for a bit. Spend the money on a decent vac and can upgrade the poles if I get busy with it I don't get much as it is so need to start pushing it.

Is that 3600 watt one?

Who’s the company? I might ask if they do the 2800 watt one!
