how good do you rate these machines? I would like to know how you get on regarding getting the ends into the gutters? some gutters have tiles overhanging and access is pretty hard i'd imagine
-
Yes they are impossible with the gutter vac
-
majority of residential ar elike this from what i have saw.
-
I'm sure you can earn lots of money $$$ clearing gutters. Come back when you have ok? ::)
-
Not had a problem really with my DIY. I use my own plastic nozzles. If the gap is too small I can heat a nozzle in the generator exhaust gas and mould it to fit in about thirty seconds.
-
where you buy nozzles?
Also what size generator you use and how much it cost ya
-
Make the nozzles - just a length of pipe cut off at an angle to match the gutter. 38mm I think it was - just a length from a systern pipe.
Generator is 5kva.

What vacuum machines do people use or favour for DIY systems?
I like the look of this one: the Numatic WVD900-2.
-
wally there are others witha larger diameter hos eon them. East west trading do them i think. If getting one best get 110v so as to lessen the shock when you do get one

Yes, I'd looked at this one. My only concern is that it's maybe not tough enough to be up to the job. It looks a bit flimsy for being dragged round.
Is it up to the job?
They do a 3000 watt as well. Anyone know about this one?
-
sure some guys have them on here. That one you ar elooking a thow much and what power is it etc/?
-
It's a Numatic WVD900-2. Specs are:
Motor 2xTwinflo 1200W
Power 230V AV 50/60Hz
Motor Power 2400W
Airflow 80L/sec
Suction 2500mm
Capacity Dry 40L
Capacity Wet 32L
Cleaning Range 26.8m
Weight 25kg
Size 800x490x880mm
More details here: http://www.pb-vac.co.uk/products3.php?itemid=165
I know it's a bit light on power and capacity. Personally, I'm only looking to do domestic, so I guess that it might be sufficient.
The things that attract me to this machine are: 1 - build quality. I've seen one and it's built like a tank. 2 - full spares availability as it's made in UK.
-
Let's not forget guys these machines are 230-240V...Not suitable for outside use when raining, unless of course you are using a mobile nylon based insulation platform.
-
yeah 110v is what is required. 240 outside could turn nasty
-
how about this one for a diy
-
heres my first effort ;D trouble sourcing a nosel though

when i worked in tidworth, i used to put my cheese sarnies in tinfoil and by the time i had got to work, they were really toasted and lovely
it was bettered by a guy i worked with, he made himself a GAS Grill ( BBQ ) would run it off the blow torch gas bottle, i would even have my own grill top ( as i am veggie ) non of that burnt meat on mine ( i might e.mail the guy now, see what he is upto )
