Title: Guttervac Opinions
Post by: trevor povey on February 18, 2009, 06:09:56 pm
guttervac users have you found the vac any good at doing its job in these conditions?

ie doing a domestic gutter off ladders at this moment with a trowel the contents are moist/solid and would just scope out how does the vac fare in these conditions? does it do the job? Does the poles and tubing block up? Will  it fare better in summer conditions when the gutters are contents are more finer?

Reason I ask is I have some jobs to do with the system and have a full 12 month window for us to complete the work.

its a must have mate, when i got the first of 2 it payed for itself after 2.5 weeks.

we used it today with no problems at all, the weather doesnt effect it.

The tubes and hose do suffer with the sticky gloop in the gutters. You know by the sudden weight of the pole that it's being lined in crud. I get a bucket of water and suck it up when things get boggy.
Used mine yesterday but still had to get the ladders out to unblock an s bend - totally chogged with plant roots, it was so bad i had to lever them out with a spike held in my hand. Vac or pressure washer wouldn't have had a chance of shifting them.
