how do you get on with using the superlight sections on the omnivac FTP?

i bet its so light after using omnis ally poles

have the sl2 sections not been damaged from all the dirt, stones etc shooting down the pole?

if you choose the img option on photobucket it will put the pics on Cleanitup

How do you clear a blocked downpipe at that height ?

Blocked downpipes? Can't be done by me, all I can do is push the nozzle down as far as the s bend. I sometimes use a drain jetter on domestics. At that height I could use a fifty foot jetter from the bottom if they hadn't put a kink in the run of the downpipes  :
I don't have a fifty foot jetter - only thirty foot so I'm buggered really on this job. I don't think a pressure washer with gutter attatchment would do much more to be honest.

Early days still for me - i'm still learning.

Pole became mega heavy with sludge - I nearly lost it trying to lower about thirty five foot horizontally. 
No sign of any wear on the poles - been using them for well over a year now.

I had a blow out on the M3 on saturday. Drove from Surrey to Penzeance. Drove 570 miles there and back. Nearly made it to the M25.........almost home......and it just fell apart on me. Luckily i had my spare fixed the day before and had a few days left on my AA cover. Lovely part of the world ya live in Dave.......I did look out for a "Dave WFP" van but no such luck. BTW Dave i can confirm the Scilly Isles do have a couple of WFP boys. I think it's St Marys if i'm not mistaken.
