The Predator is all the vac you will ever need. It might be true that it MORE vac than you will need 90% of the time but that extra power is a lifesaver when you need it. 60-70% of my jobs are done with a single motor. Maybe 20% using the second motor when I need to and then that third motor is...
Maybe and how would you know? One of the images below costs over £40, the other is a fiver. Without other testing equipment to know how would you determine which is which? Are you 100% sure they are not the exact same thing? If either one of these fell on your door mat how would you know? Also...
No, I didn't imply that businesses, small or large, shouldn't make a profit. Where have I said or implied that?
Thank you for the condescending explanation of how a business works. I know, I run one. Why are you repeatedly assuming I don't know how things work? Everything you said above is...
Sigh. You are putting words in my mouth. Where have I said, or even implied that "hard working folk" shouldn't "get some of the cake"? You are being a little unfair there.
I can be happy with a supplier (or suppliers) and still think some things are overpriced no? Do you think everything is...
I knew I would get some grief but if you honestly think some things aren't simply overpriced then maybe you are a part of the problem? I'm not a fool. I understand overheads and profit, I run a business myself (don't we all?)
The TDS meter I mentioned. The EXACT SAME ONE can be had for less...
Hi mate. Like you I have sensitive skin and burn from the sun very easily too. Have you looked at the neck fans? I have one for the hot days and its great, blows a cool breeze against your neck and face and reduces sweating and running suncream! Just looks like a pair of headphones round your...
I remember when I was a young boy saying to my mother I would never be a window cleaner as I cant stand heights. 35 years later and I am a window cleaner that cant stand heights with a WFP system and a gutter vac!
OK so probably opening a can of worms here and will get some grief but after needing a few odds and sods it rammed home just how expensive equipment can be and just how little competition there is out there on a lot of stuff which keeps prices high.
This isn't directed at any one retailer and...
Thanks guys, glad to see im late to the party on this. Is it this one?

@Nicky so this slides into the silver banded pole on the Predator one end and the hose on the other yes?
Hey all. Been using the Predator for a year now and there hasn't been a job it even began to struggle with. Only used the third motor once for a stubborn clump in a downpipe. Anyone looking for a vac for EVERY job, this is the one!
I have one annoyance ( not unique to the predator but all vacs)...
Hey all
So a while back I purchased the pressure sprayer and extendable lance shown below for my gutter cleaning and while the pressure sprayer is great the lance is just an absolute ballache. The hose is coiled so tight round the lance you cant move without dragging the sprayer, the spray head...
Yup, which is what I have used for the last 5 years but now I am doing gutter clearing and therefore taking on a lot more SFG work. So needing to make the job quicker and use something that knocks the bits off that pure can't do alone without the stress of worrying about causing problems on pvc...
Hey all
So I know the "which cleaning solution" thread has been flogged to death by now but I am not necessarily looking for the "best" cleaner but the one that is safest to use (outside of washing up liquid) without risks. Pet safe, window safe, plant safe etc. Something I don't have to worry...
Thanks. Didnt know when at height/awkward positions the twist would be easier than trying to reach down for the hose? Always used Univalve on window and never tried a twist but assumed keeping both hands on pole would be ideal for SFG?
Like I say I will be doing odd weatherboard washdowns as...
OK so just purchased a new SLX 35 that will purely be used for cleaning Soffits, facias, gutters and weatherboarding. I have a spare Gardiners backpack that I will use for cleaning agents. So I am looking for you guys who clean SFG and the like using WFP what will make the job easier? Swivel...
