whats upkeeper?

[Steve_c]

A gutter vac that ionics import from the USA. Looks good but I'm not sure about the power. The one I'm looking at is the electric one not the titan that's nearly £4k. I'm also going to get a demo from ominpole with the ominvac but again not to sure about this one. I've used the ominvac with a colleague its big and very powerful and its going to be a pain to cart around in the van. The upkeeper is smaller and more manageable but is not as powerful. The titan version has been revamped and is very good, you have much more scope with this one domestic and commercial shouldn't be a problem.The price with the ominvac and the upkeeper are about the same.

hi steve

be interested to hear your conclusion - have you seen that one on ebay for 600quid?

i was trying to find out if it was good enough - can see it being a very useful part of the business gutter vac - was also thinking there must be a way to buy a decent domestic/industrial wet n dry vac that u could make your own pole with that could save pounds be just as effective. theres also a machine called big brute its used in agriculture but can also suck up sludge.

id certainly want to use it with the camera option.
