Obviously not interested in sales then !,, ??

Think they are a bit like - Dual Pumps, they will only deal with suppliers who meet a certain criteria based on proven annual turnover...

Out of all the Gutter Machines, I think Spinaclean Industrial ticks all the boxes bar the price. All the rest don't seem like they want to sell them or their website is a nightmare. That's my next investment, an Industrial 240v and run it off a genni if I can't get power.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but what is a genie? It’s been mentioned a couple of times on here and I have never heard of it before..

A genie is a generator used to produce electricity to run an electrical item either 240 volts mains power or 110 volts .

Generator to supply power to the vac

It’s a magical character that comes out of a lantern/bottle when you rub it.

Just searching for one of these and came across this;

What are your thoughts @THL4KEL?

The top one is the one I use.

The Elesa? The bottom link is just for carbon poles with Xline.

 

[THL4KEL]

Yeah, good strong vac, never blocks.. Always gets everything out.

The poles are taper fit and will stick and jam unless you clean / spray evetytime

I just use 40 foot of alloy poles, there very rigid.

I only fancied carbon poles for when I get an employee, wouldn't want them cracking their head open ? I have some carbon poles currently but they're not the best.

I don't completely understand what taper fit is but just looking at the pic I can see what you mean. Back to the drawing board I think.

I have to sprayed wd40 on every joint when I use them or they stick together. Its a thing you forget to do once and never again because it take two people to pull them apart.

@THL4KEL just pointed out that £800 is plus vat... Thats nearly a grand ??

I might be better getting a Numatic and a side entry converting thing.

Is the side entry conversion literally as simple as cutting a hole and installing the inlet?

You remove the front plastic inlet and the hole is already there. All you have to do is make it a bit bigger with a grinder. The 52mm side inlet from Sinaclean will set you back about £70. Then all you do is bolt it on and use CT1 as a sealer and it works great.

I have those poles, and never ever clean them. And they don’t stick together. I have Sky vac ones, just a different name. Do my think sky vac do them any more though. The either do these cheaper shinny ones now, or the expensive elite. I got mine back in Oct 2015.

 

[scottish cleaning service]

I'm thinking of getting a set of Sinaclean's Elite poles for my Vac, are they any good?
