How much will it lift?
« on: August 21, 2008, 11:05:50 am »
I am really scrutinising this gutter business! and if i should buy a vacuum  :D
How much/how big of material will a gutter vacuum lift?
Those gutters with gardens up there, does the vacuum lift all or is there some maualwork involved. Also i remember clening out my own gutters one fine summers day and i recall lifting out what could only be discribed as long lumps of turf( stuff completly dried out and caked together). would same have to be broke up and again will the vacuum lift it.
Apprieciate you knowledge on this,
thanks,
 Joe. ::)

You need something to break that type of thing up. So Gardiners have made a tool that screws onto any pole that can be used to do this. Omnipole also sell tools for doing this. Then you can buy a complete system or DIY one. Mr H is the person to talk to, Luke

You can get almost anything out given time but it's obviously easier and quicker to loosen it first. I've got a rake (from Ionics) and a spade tool (from Gardiners).
Hope this helps!
