I have bought it all now. Went off Matt's recommendation and it looks great. The CF tubes are great. Nice and light.
 I have two enquiries already.

Yeah same here.
I'm waiting for my first job now - I want to get lots of photos.
The camera system looks nice! I have tested it a little around the house and it is better than I thought.

Richy,

I know you said you dont want to put one together, but i just bought a vac from Kev on the hard floor section, and i bought some poles from - http://carbonfibretubes.co.uk/ as per Chris's info. Bought all the other bits and bobs from ebay. All in under a grand.

The vac and poles look sturdy.

There is a thread on the window cleaning section now and apparently some of the poles advertised are only 30% carbon, and not very strong. So if you buy a kit, be aware of what your getting.

As for the genny, a good honda would do you for life apparently. I got a 6kva loncin really cheap. its a bit bulky, but i dont use it much and its on a trolley now.

Makes sense, get a top quality industrial wet / vac and sort the poles your self.

If I were a supplier these are customers I wouldn't want to deal with - why don't you leave it, obviously I think its been established Kevin's machine would never meet your expectations whilst it might those of his existing customers
OK big nose  ::)roll http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAVvEQvnDm0
Will have to start calling you Rebecca A  ;D

Funny enough we are an existing customer (purchased a low quant of seals + powder) Kev has also sent us samples in the past, hence the reason for trying to use him, hey ho moving on

What is the best way of removing the debris form the vac?
Do you just tip it into a bucket? or place a bucket inside?
Does anyone have a pic of theirs to show please?

The bin on mine drops from below onto its casters, it has a screen that allows the fluid to drop and a valve to drop this out of the bin. A bin bag is placed over the bin and the bin is tipped to put the debris into the bag. The grief is that the screen is welded and fines get through - I pressure wash the bin regularly. I can see benefits of having a gorilla bucket with holes but the real grief I find is clearing gutters when its raining, thats why the drain valve is a god send but a pump out ..........................

Richy

When you say debris what exactly are you talking about?
Do you mean the sludge at the bottom, the dirty water or just the leaves and crap?

Both really, I am yet to use it.
I have my first job booked in for next week so I want to know what I am doing before I get to the customer's property.

Basically I suck up everything in the gutters  ....   then what? What is the best way to go about getting everything out of the vac?
