Kev, how are you getting on with your GutterVac, encounted any problems!
Do you use a power pole or the telescopic tubes and tools and what size vac hose do you use (38m or 51mm)
Andy
Hi andy,
We had some initial teething problems with the system, some down to tool design (not machine) and some down to the learning curve that goes with any new bit of kit. We had a big commercial job on that we had mewps on site for so we thought Ideal testing ground. The commercial gutters were very deep and the omnivac was not effective due to the tools not reaching inside. Glyn made us some new tools for free to overcome our problems. The job went well after that. Glyns customer service was excellent. Since then we have used the Omnivac a lot. Its excellent and we have learnt many "tips" and different ways of using the tools. I have also built several tools myself.
For standard gutters domestic and commercial the Omnivac and its supplied tooling is excellent. I am mainly involved in commercial cleaning and a lot of new architecture we have found has non-standard roof drainage so different tools have been required. Glyns commercial flexible neck tool its really good, I would love a smaller one for domestic or small gutter jobs.
I would recommend the larger hose. We use the telescopic tubes (up to 48ft) and on heights over about 30-35 feet we use an Omnipole as a support pole. I would also recommend the powerpole high pressure washer kit and the "spike" is invaluable
We also have a short hose as we use the Omnivac in powered access platforms as it really speeds the job.
Hope that helps
Kev
