There's always old wheelie bins kicking about which are great for storing hose. I now rescue abandoned wheelie bins and take them home with me. Then I remove the wheels and cut them so they fit my storage shelf and cut out a few handles on them. Because they are square they fit together and take up all the space.

Thanks.

In a sky-vac there is also that plate that comes down from the motor, intended to protect the motor I guess from the sludge that fires in to the vac. If that’s positioned correctly (in the line of fire) I’m sure that helps too.


Dusty crud is easy anyway as it’s so light. It’s the wet mossy crap u want more power on.

Yes the deflector helps if you line it up correctly and is a better design on my newer skyvac models, I think it's the tinder dry dust you have to worry about if using without a filter, personally I always keep filter in and clean it off after every use.

Thanks.

Several countries charge a per-mile or per-kilometer fee, particularly for heavy vehicles, including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, New Zealand, and the Czech Republic. The UK is also planning to introduce a mileage-based tax for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles starting in April 2028. Many countries, however, measure mileage-based fees in kilometers rather than miles.

This could turn out a money spinner in the future for the UK Gov. They have nibbled around the edges with congestion charge but the gold mine will come from pay per mile. I think there is nearly 43 million vehicles in the UK and if they can get even half of them on the pay per mile then they will milk it for all its worth. If you look back at fuel duty, it is now nearly 70% of the cost per litre. Diesel and petrol is cheap as chips if we remove the duty and vat then a litre of petrol would be around 75p.

Anybody use their gutter vac with the filter removed?
