Gutter Vac, Pine tree needle issues
« on: January 31, 2013, 12:33:52 am »
Anyone had experience clearing pine needles from gutters?

The gutters are full of them and the vac is getting clogged up on the entry port to the chamber with every couple of feet guttering.

Has anyone got any suggestions? As I have over 30m to get through!

Thanks in advance!

Proper guttervac or diy?

All you can do is reduce the size of the deflector plate inside the vac or remove it for that particular job. Omnipole version has bigger hose and different inlet which helps this problem.

We haven't had any problems although you do need to take it slowly
