Hi
Been playing with my gutter vac, it seems hard work.
Its a omnivac three switches total 4200 watt, and alloy poles with wired camera.

First of its harder and longer than using ladders and hands, but i may live longer than falling of a ladder.
But whats the prices.
Easy work with nothing in the way all second floor.
Then going over a conservatory to reach where ladders will not reach, is this priced more?

Its seems its a add on to offer customers, but the hourly earning would be less than water fed cleaning.

Hi Dave

I have the same gutter vac. I find it is great if the gutters are ok and what I mean by ok is that there is space to get the pole angle head in. Sometimes its quicker sometimes not. I charge by the metre at a price that suits what I think it is worth.

I've been playing with mine ( gutter vac ;-)  ) on a converted mill, It's been a nightmare lol, hardly any space between tiles, Brace every 16" &  like a forest, but I found using the power pole & wetting the debri helped massively.

But I'm getting okish money for learning about the system.

OK thanks,
looks like the price will have to be trail and error.
All i know that the hard to reach areas will not be charge the same per mtr.
I would rather clean less for more money than be a busy fool... so at this moment it time i will treat its as a add on to my services, but it will not be a better hourly paid than window cleaning.

To do a decent job i found that i need the camera to clean them...but without a camera its hit and miss.
Also the wired camera gives me better footage, which came from dogcam.

Ok i find these aluminum poles heavy, who uses carbon fiber poles and is there a certain type to get?

Grippa Tank stock Gardiner Carbon. I'm on the alloy poles at the mo, but if I start getting busier with the vac, I'll soon be purchasing a set.

Pricing.

I'm still in the same boat as you, not exactly sure, I got a few 4/5 beds booked in at 45 - 65. I'm treating them as a suck & See do  a few and work it out from there. Doubt it will pay as well as windows, but It's another string to the bow and all depends how you plan to play it!!

Hi Rob
I have done many videos, which help to see the tube attachments actions, The viewing on the monitor looks worse than it is, when viewing on large tv screen the gutter looks better, but i think i will setup up something to hose down the inside of the gutter to try and make them look cleaner.
Most sales videos for buying this system shows gutter vacs cleaning out a load of placed leaves, I wish this was true in all gutters as this would be a lot easier,

David,

I was fortunate enough to collect a full omnipole set up, I used the power pole the other day for the first time with my little washer and nearly blew my arms off lol.

It did how ever make sucking the rubbish out a lot easier. Was thinking about trying to knock up some simple hose pipe strapped to a pole for residential stuff.

that power pole is like a wild snake at full lenght I remember the first time I tried it, this i had the pressure washer a little full on. i recon if i could have man handled it it would have blown the gutter off i was trying to clean lol

Thankfully I only had 4 lengths extended, can just picture the whip at full length. It certainly takes you by surprise.
