Title: puddle sucker
Post by: Total shine cleaning services on April 29, 2014, 06:37:37 am

Can anyone recommend a puddle sucker, also do they filter out the sludge within the water..?, did a job yesterday and the bad drainage added an hour and a half to the job-investment time me thinks..!

thanks-Graham

How does the q washer one work on the ground though? I presume it can't.

Chris how much are the ones that you use? I always wish I had something like these when doing a drive where it slopes towards a garage.

Drop it in a bucket of water to "prime " it before use. It will clear a flat surface to 1mm of water. It can be run "dry"...for short periods.

is that literally drop it in and turn it on? or does it involve anything else?

cheers Chris
