Title: Guttervac owners.
Post by: mick hay on August 07, 2008, 05:21:21 pm
There was a thread on here a month or so ago, and a few bods were investing in the vac.

Was just wondering how they have got on, done any work with it yet?

Interested to know  :)

Is that regardless of the length of drive/how close houses are together etc?
Also where are you based?

Per 1,000, regardless. I'm very lucky to have found a distributor who lets me name the actual streets and type of houses i want my leaflet to go too!!

I'm in manchester, wheres you?

What worries me a little is that when you go on the omnipole site and look at the prices for everything else on there i can't but think i could be getting a little fleeced if i bought a guttervac if you get my drift.  :)

there has been alot of discussion about this on earlier posts.
I think it would depend on how many jobs you had to do before the system has paid for itself.

ps it's that white noise on the omnipole site that puts me off browsing it repeatedly, while dreaming of what i'm gonna buy.  :o

GLYN. the site shows it used with a power pole, when i phoned a couple of weeks ago i was told it no longer came like that and i could not use my excisting 2 power poles. i would have to buy the complete new system

Hi we can still build a system to use with the PowerPole which you could add the nerw tubes to at a latter date.- it was changed to the new design to make it easier to use plus we added new design flexible accesories. The PowerPole is still used in the complete system for gutter pressure washing and also for the camera.
This link shows the new design GutterVac

Hi Glyn

Is the telescopic tube tool free operation (clamps)?

At 16m is the process a one man job?

In the link you just gave, the botton 2 pics show bad gutters, would the vac suck out such a growth or would this need loosening first?

Regards

Tony
