Justin, I read the reviews of that petrol pressure washer & it looks good, especially the price. How much petrol does it hold, and and long does it last before refilling?

Cheers,


Doug.

Not sure how much it holds, but it runs for approx 1hr before filling which is enought for most jobs. Also pop into your local Makro's as i seen them in there for £129 + Vat which will save you some money, only saw them there a few days after i brought mine :(

Dear Justin
what a great idea for cleaning gutters
i have two questions
1) does all the dirt go down the drainpipe?
2) who unclogs the drain pipe?
me?
i clean the gutter and bag up all the dirt and rubbish and take it away and dispose of it ,carefully, correctly and proffesionally
cheers

I bought the gutter clean kit from omnipole and used it for the first time yesterday so here is some feedback
1. omnipole had to send me additional connectors as the pole did not fit onto my pressure washer so make sure it does.
2. it took 2 weeks for omnipole to get the kit too me there courier let them down seriously but keep that in mind as if your lining work up you need to know you can get the kit from them.
3. makro is the best place to get the pressure washer same as justins it works well
4. the pressure washer hose will melt on the engine if it touches i have got a leak from this and a new hose is about £30.
5. the biggest problem is that the gutter debris goes everywhere i.e. all down the side of the house so you end up washing the sides of the house down. one house took us 3 hours to do that was 3 men.
6. my solution is too put the price up i.e. next door asked me so i multiplied price by 3x you really need access to mains water to wash the walls down with a hose pipe and nozzle after the blasting.
7. took the ladder off on the first gutter cleaned and had a look the results are really good but be aware of the mess.

You did not angle it right, other wise you would not have had that happen. I cant see why it took you 3 hrs either, this is a 5min job  once setup so easy. You do get some come over i must admit, but this was all in my How Too.

Change your angle and you will not have it come over the side like you said. As i had this untill i sorted out a proper angle to do this 40 degree approx will be sweet.

Justin

Ps Pratice a few times and your get the angle right and you will be impressed with the results and the time saved.

one thing i do find is that the pressure trigger is not much use with the pressure washer as the pressure overides the switch also the hose sup-plied by omnipole looks like it will kink up before long not the best quality

Hi Choice
The hose we supply is ultra light weight pressure hose selected for its weight and is rated at 1800 psi.
I am not sure what you mean when you say the pressure gun is not much good this is a Suttner linear pressure gun, Suttner are the industry leaders if you have a problem with the gun please contact our office.
I am not sure what you mean when you say the pressure overides the switch, please could you explain.
Thanks
Glyn

it doesn,t make any difference whether i pull th trigger or not same amount of water comes out of the spray nozzle in other words it doesn,ty stop the flow ps still not received any instructions also isthere any quick release fitting for pressure washer to trigger as it is a real pain getting a spanner out for each job

I dont think you have fitted the gun correctly, or somehow you have managed to bypass the gun it is totally impossible for the water to flow if the trigger isnt depressed.
If you want to send your pole and the gun to us we will fit it for you.
Incidently what pole are you using?
