Title: Getting a guttervac "But!"
Post by: lee_dewing on August 12, 2014, 09:30:53 pm

This wet/dry vac seems to get the thumbs up on here.

https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/nilfisk-multi-30t-wet-dry-vacuum-cleaner

And was looking at getting these poles; I know i will cop stick as they're aluminium but will these fit together?
Poles to nisflik?

Remember reading about cuff reducer or something?longer vac hose?

Just want to make sure all plumbs together will look into carbon poles in the future.

Any advice thanks.

Longer vac hose,but will set you back £80+
I brought a gutter vac off ebay with carbon poles and 5mtr of vac hose all brand new for £200. And works a treat. Yes i am sure there are better vacs that are 4-5 times the price but this works perfectly good enough for my needs.
It is worth a search on there as you may get the whole kit for less than buying  bit by bit
Just my opinion

Hi  Jarvy.
Nice one on the ebay vac.

Heard back from guttercleaning systems and £50 for 5 metres of hose and cuffs told will fit straight on front of nisflik.

Carbon poles £390 for 30 feet that's vat and delivery.

Looks like I'll be gutter sucking this autum ;D
Thanks
Lee

hi guys im looking at building my own gutter vac system and have seen a few comments about those nilfisk being good but do they really suck as good as a 3000w tripple motor vac?

I'm thinking of buying a gutter vax as well and this might be a stupid question.

Does the length of the hose affect how well the thing sucks?

Thanks.

This was using a nilfisk 30t vac and gutters don't come much harder than this "solid tuff" so everyday moss,weed and leaf made easy.

That looks pretty strong in that vid pal, I know what it's like trying to break that stuff up by hand so you can get it out sometimes if you can't take it out in one go!
The video did remind me of those machines with teddys inside at the arcades!
Think I might be investing in a nilfisk, what are those poles too matey?

if the conservatory hadn't been there I'd of hand balled it out this one, there's Nothing worse than breaking up thick grass by vac or hand..

They are gutter sucker poles made by skyvac very light and strong but I do believe they do the sky vac poles sets which are even stronger..
