OK pop pickers
Question can you use a gutter vac as a carpet type cleaner to suck up spills, like a over flown toilet,? And could you add a carpet wand on to suck water out carpet area nxt to it???
Asking for a freind 😉

In theory yes don’t see why not it’s only a wet vac after all .

Hello I just got the sky vac atom

It comes with attachments to do this,

I’m not saying the sky vac atom is the right machine for your business but just example

Yes they are basically a wet/dry vac - we have sucked up lots of spills but you may need a different head more suited to this than what has been supplied

If your doing more than 'water' I would go to the carpet cleaning section for advice

Yes any good quality Wet Vac will sort this.  The German Fire Service use our pump out versions to empty flooded cellars.  So a flooded loo is a breeze ;D

Kev Martin,

Just looked at your wet/dry vacs

The connection port on front of klindex wet/dry vacs looks same as on sky vac Atom

Would the sky vac atom pole and plumb together with say JUNIOR INOX 423B?

Are there prices on your website?

Can you upgrade the vac mentioned with the side cyclonic ports that gutter vacs sellers are now doing?

I’m only just starting gutter clearing service
But would consider a more powerful unit in the future but wouldn’t want a big 75 ltr drum

Probably 55ltr drum max.

Thanks

Our vacs are designed for slurry and water.  We only sell the same vac with a 50mm inlet for gutter cleaning and no we don’t do side entry.  Give me a ring and I will talk you through the prices.  Incidentally we don’t sell the poles either.

We had a water leak at home (my poor plumbing skills!) fortunately it was on vinyl floor covering, gutter vac sucked it up a treat.

I've had a Sky Vac for a few years, when i purchased it i requested an add on internal hose and various end tools suitable for carpets etc. Because i do tenancy cleans Sky Vac is awesome inside as well as outside cleaning gutters. Its a versatile all round wet and dry vac.
