just exploring the different avenues to go down for a guttervac..a omnipole system or a carbon modular pole with vac attached homemade system.... anyone with any experience or views on the above would be appreciated.,.cheers

[Kevin R]

I use the Omnivac system. Since buying it we have used it for many applications as well as gutter cleaning. Its a good bit of kit, spares and additional bits are always available. We use is comfortably up to 48 ft. Its the only system that will do this except for Mr H's diy version which is very similar in many ways.

I have tried all of the current systems that are available including Mr H's diy vac and I would still buy the Omnivac version.

Commercially, it will make you many times its cost in a very short time with a little applied marketing.

Give Omnipole a call, you wont look back

Meaning?  I should think about a MK2 Gutter Grabber?  Cost: £30.

How much for a vac from omnipole?

[cvdewsbury]

prices start at £1200 to £4700 for a full system with vac,pole,attachments,generator, pressure wash,& the obligatory cuddly toy

[Kevin R]

The hose no longer goes up outside the power pole its a new semi telescopic design. It may be expensive to some but on our last job we saved the client 18k on scaffolding - imagine what I charged... LOL The machine now seems cheap and very replaceable.

I looked at all the gutter vacs and believe me this one is the best by far.

After weeks of diying a vac system I bought the new through the pole Omni - there just something about it that works a lot better than my diy.

Good on you Jeff, hows it going with the Omnivac?

kev

did you use the old pole where the tube goes on the outside? If so did it do the job, just weighing up weather to go for that and save mysen some cash,go for the new one or alex gardeners diy job which is a lighter pole.

Did you hire it ??

You can go the DIY route but the savings are minimal to the amount of time you will spend building your own. Also If you go the DIY carbon fibre pole route it will not last as long as the Aluminum Omnivac pole (not powerpole). Jeff Brimble one of this forums DIY masters has bought one so what does that tell you?


I dont hire my Omnivac as its in use most of the time. 

Trust me, stop scrimping pennies and buy one, you'll make a killing with a little applied marketing. I only target 3-4 story or commercial work and I charge well, but not as much a cherry picker hire + Labour or scaffolding+ Labour prices, but its more than I ever earned window cleaning per hour for sure! 

[mark dew]

i must admit that this guttervac topic has inspired me to look into going down this road. It's good of you, glyn, groundhog, and the others to post such good information about it.

I bought the lot but never got the cuddly toy - I will have to have a word with Glynn..LOL

I would go for plastic drainpipe as your piping.  Some don't like it, as it can be wobbly, but I have now rivetted two sections together to stop this.

So help me its true and I had to bite the bullet to find out ! but then if you have a negative approach - I would say that wouldnt I    after shelling out good money I should have too much pride to say otherwise.
