Not working >:(

It comes up on mine. :D
Looks ok, if I was being picky I would say the music is a bit lairy.
Quick question: Where does all the moss and dirt end up once you have blasted it out of the gutters with the power pole? ???
-
Great video. Loved it. :)
-
Yeah really good video.
Does the job and shows what you do, with the methods you choose.
It opens fine on my ipad.

Saves on scrubbing don't it
Brilliant 😄

Hi AndyM
It goes down the downpipe, you can usually twist the end of the downpipe so that it directs the debris away from the drain. If you cant use the downpipe its just a case of cleaning up after which takes 5mins with a pressure washer, if you spend a little more time and get a pathway looking nice some custies ask you to the patio too. I had that experience plenty of times.

Looks a great job mate, what length does the pole extend to?
Does it cause much of a mess to neighbouring houses blasting gutters out? Very interested in getting one of these.

I think my pole is 28ft.
The idea isn't really to blast it out although that helps when the debris is stubborn, I just tend to use a lower pressure and kind of sweep it down the downpipe. I know the video shows me blasting it but this was my first attempt I have since learnt that its probably best with less pressure. 3000psi of pressure and a 28ft pole would land me on my back anyway, and that has happened, but only once ;D

No, Thanks for noticing. I use weebly to make my website and I haven't adjusted the settings. Never been much good at snagging ;)

Any links to where you got the pole from mate?

Hi lee can i ask what pressure washer you use as i was going to c lean gutters and fascias this way but was weary as don't want to use something to powerful not to damage gutter or blowout of brackets, any info much appreciated thanks
-
Hi Jason,
I use a commercial petrol pressure washer from www.thepowersite.co.uk I got it from the Bargain section. It has Variable pressure valve so you can decrease or increase the pressure. Its an Evopower EPW185-70AR I think it has a Loncin engine and annovi Reverberi Pump with ceramic Pistons. Its good value for money at around £500 it will out last electrical ones and some are nearly as pricey.

Thanks for reply lee

I bought one of those telescopic lances a few years back thinking great that would clean badly stained plastic gutters & facias. Nope it didn't and I found out if I was not careful would see bits of fascia trim flying off etc also gutter joints starting to leak.
Regarding jetting out domestic gutters to clear them that's bonkers if they are full as crap just goes everywhere. Not only that can force water into the roof space too.
I often come accross in gutters broken bits of tiles, roofing motar and many other odd things which can get stuck in the downspout bends using that method.
Not only that I have found not many ppl want a pressure washers used on their house.
Each to their own I suppose
