I have heard that the power of the numatic is not enough (2400w). Then I hear that most people only use 2 of the 3 motors in omnipole's system (2x1400w=2800w). I would be happier with a Numatic as it is a branded product with parts easily available locally and plenty backup. But then, maybe I would need the power of the omni sometimes?
WHich one is the better buy?
Prefer to use customer leccy if poss. DOn't know if that is possible with the 4200w model. Even if the custie's ring main will handle it, to get a transformer that would power the omni (6 kva+) is VERY expensive
whereas I can pick up a 5kva (enough to power the polarvac) very cheaply as this seems to be a standard. Generator bulky, noisy and another thing to break down so would rather avoid.
On the other hand, I like the look of omnipole's pole and the tooling. Seems better than running a hose up the outside of a window cleaning pole. Polarbrite's tools look ok but not maybe got enough reach to get to some commercial guttering or to clean downpipes. Has anyone tried both methods?
Everything is available seperately, so what is the best setup?
