Waiting on a back order  ::) seems they are very popular vacuum cleaners what with them being so cheap

The other problem that still needs to be resolved! I don't wont to spend 5 or 6 hundred pounds on a SL pole! and the hose problems! and still need to join it all together! it could take months to resolve!

You don't need to spend £500 or £600 on a gardiners pole.... Just buy the number of base sections that you need as you need them.

4 will get you just over 20ft which is enough for the average height house.
What do you mean by "hose problems".....?

How much does the base section cost?

Poleman, why don't you just use some more tubing, and use your existing wfp, run the hose on the outside. That could do well enough on Domestic I suppose. I'm going that route.

Mr. H, what do you think?

Jeff I am sure can advice on this one! what about fishing poles! they would be a hell off alot cheaper

The problem about the hose! fitting a 51mm hose to a 38mm inlet in the vaccum cleaner

Why not just stick with the 38mm hose that comes with the vacuum and see how it goes....?

I've just had come in stock two types of adapters - one allows a 38 mm hose to screw in one side and a 51 mm hose to screw in the other.  The other fitting is a 51 mm hose cuff. This screws onto the end of 51 mm hose and provides a rubber nozzle.  Perhaps this could be used on the end of your gutter vacuum instead of just bare hose or conceivably it would push fit into the outlet on the vacuum.  I might send it to you Mr H so you can try it out  :)

Thanks Alex....
I look forward to testing it out.....
Do you think the 51mm hose cuff would work as a better way of connecting the "U" section to the SL2...?

No, I don't think it will be a better way of connecting.  Anyway, you can have a play with them.

Hmm, really wondering how a cheap x-tel would do. They are a bit whippy perhaps, I know SL will be excellent, but it would be £200 less with an existing pole you know. :)

Mr. H, what do you think?

The problem with doing that would be the weight at the top. You would have to use a much larger pole and remove the top sections or it would either snap or would be very wippy. It would also be dificult to connect a "U" section to the top.
Just weigh your own home vacuum tube and multiply it up. Now work out how high you want to go and then add in the weight of the pole, remembering that you are using the bottom sections only and so not having the narrower and lighter top sections. The SL2 at 60ft being used as a gutter vacuum weighs in at UNDER 4Kg complete.
For standard houses 3 x SL2 base sections are just over 15ft in actual length so provided you can reach up 3ft from the ground (i.e hip height) it should be about right.

Regards
Mr H
