Thanks wally, don't know how you did that.

Simple enough idea and probably safer than a diy spike. For twelve quid It might be worth popping in the old toolbox.  :)

How can I get a picture of the agitation tool please?
When I click on enlarge I get a massive picture of a van roof.

Have to say those prices are brilliant
I am sitting here wondering the same thing ftp. even saved the pic and still cant see it ???

Ian, i'm suprised at you, I thought you were a techno-whizz

I've got an add on for firefox that lets me change the size of any online image by holding the right mouse button, and then scrolling the wheel to zoom pic in/out..  8)

ref the 1200 W motor

i spoke to a guy a while back who had 1 from Wicks, its a 1400 W and he swears it does the job well

he does ground, first and 2nd floor gutters with his

i think he said the vac cost him 70 quid

i have looked at them in wicks and they look well built, but its the suction that i dont know about

I am impressed with the polar brite offering and as i too am in the market for a gutter vac i will give this serious thought , especially for the price , my only thought with gutter vacs is how effective are they in unblocking the u bend between gutter and down pipe??

Yes sorry about the situation with the larger images need to speak to my Web site wiz!!

We are working on  a rigid Vacuum pole 5x5 hopefully in time for Windex, so all who have purchased a polarbrite system, will be able to upgrade.

As for Demo's yes we can to the guy in Cambridge.

Well done Craig - more than one way to skin a rabbit so they say. Early days obviously but I would be a bit worried about the strength of that adapter angle piece with the weight of the hose.

If you have a rigid pole - at a sensible and affordable price - you've got one guaranteed customer here.

I like your gear. And I like the way you respond to people. I'm sure that you must be impressing others here as well.

Just an idea for the pole. I'd suggest to make it in 1.5 m lengths and 0.75 meter lengths.

Make your cheapest one (2 x 1.5) + (1 x 0.75). And then make lengths available individually as the need arises.

With the thinest section of pole left in, its fine, no problems reported yet.

And we field tested this as well as changing the spec in development.

Thankyou wally, i shall take that on board, I have a meeting next week regarding this.

By working on a rigid Vacuum pole by no means are we admitting any defeat on the retrofit system as for many this will be/has been ideal, however i think to have a choice would be great, while being mindfull of people having different budgets.


Regards
