omnivac guttervac question
« on: November 03, 2009, 12:00:20 pm »
Being  only second time i have used this bit of kit,yesterday.the gutters were wet following the rain we had,i  cleaned the front and back of a typical small terraced house,i should of mentioned i did use the camera and one side was fairly full of debris rather like a soup, how ever when i finished job there was almost nothing in the hoover,but my 15 mtr hose weighed like led,so got home hosed it out it all came out like a slurry,my question if you can help is does this always happen when the debris is wet and has trouble getting into the hoover bin,and if i leave the stuff in the flexi pipe,will  it suck out easier when its dry!,and save me from having to wash it out every time,appreciate your comments Dave

When your on site to clear your hose put the end of the vac hose into a bucket or container of cold water ,then switch your vac on this will clear any blockages in yr hose.... its all a learning curve..and a two man job IMHO
