I didnt post the video a customer filmed it at an open day we had.

If you require up to date information with regard to ours or any other cleaning equipment , then I suggest you subscribe to one of the several cleaning industries trade magazines eg. C&M, CHT or Cleaning Matters.

Thank you for feed back and constructive comments :D

Emulating the marketing and income generated by Mickey Mouse is a good business goal for me to aim for.

Sorry to but in.
Can I just say I know nothing about gutter vacs, but if there is one stand out person on this forum known for his forthrighness and wanting to find a better cheaper way it is groundhog. And he has very recently posted rave revues about the omnivacs ease of use and effectiveness.

I really don't want to be snotty about this, but it really isn't up to me to go searching for up-to-date info about your commercial products.

If I were in the market (and I'm not) I would find what information is currently available and use that to make an informed decision.

If' I were looking for a vacuum system to clean gutters, I would have found that video, tittered to myself, dismissed it out of hand and then gone and found something to take seriously.

If you have an up-to-date machine, why on Earth do you have an out-of-date video?

Smacks of Mickey Mouse to me.

I think your assumed  name sums it up mate.

Omnipole and other companies advertise where it most effective to do so. Internet video hosting is not the place to find quality products but if you are in fact a wally you may believe it is. If a company wished to hunt down people that are "not in the market for one"  they would know where to look. Thank you for taking part in a debate you dont understand and for helping to assure members on this forum of your true intentions. It really is a wally that engages his mouth (or fingers in this case) without engaging his brain first - well done you  ;)

Thanks for Posting that photograph that was also taken at the begining of 2006 by The Health and Safety Executive.
The photograph was a "still" for a DVD that they produced and then supplied to 20,000 Facility Management and Construction companies in the UK.

Interestingly the HSE didnt think the Omni Guttervac was Mickey Mouse, as they spent many thousands £ filming,  producing and distributing the DVD

It may be that the OmniVac is a well-designed system rigourously custom manufactured and tested. It might even be effective. I don't know and I really don't care.

go away then and stop being annoying for the sake of it  ;)

In case you missed the point of this thread it was for advice on the available gutter cleaning systems - so if you have nothing constructive to add, stop spoiling it for others  ;)

I know this post is  meant for Glynn but let me help if I may,

I really would suggest buying the new pole for couple of reasons

1. The new pole is lighter and easier to use

2. Your power pole can still be used for flushing (with high pressure attachment)  and also for using the gutter spike to break up large pieces soil etc, and for the camera.

I started with only the gutter vac but now I have the full system.

I have trailer mounted the system which makes it easier for me to use it on my own (The necessary 6 kva generator is very heavy so it stays in the trailer). I was really surprised at how much work this system has brought me. It really is a worth while investment.

I remember when wfp first arrived loads of people knocked it and still do, but all the good firms that make good money have adopted it for very good reason, I know it will be the same with the Omnivac. Spend the money and you wont look back, just like with wfp  ;)

Hi Jeff
I will get a copy sent to you.

Hi cvdewsbury
Yes we can still supply the MK1 version and the majority of the componants are interchangeable with the new version. But as Kevin stated the original  PowerPole still forms much of the complete GutterVac system.

Are you still charging 2006 prices?
Yes
