Information on Gutters Poles Set for a fraction of suppliers costs

[cormie76]

I never use the bags. I keep the filter on to protect the motor. I have placed a large bucket inside the drum, it fits snugly enough to catch all the muck and is made of flexible plastic so I can manipulate it underneath the inlet.

With builders dust there is no suction after 5 mins

My filter got soaking wet and full of dirt today. Two poles wouldn't come apart so I spray with wd40 before I join them now. Bought the 10m Spinaclean hose and pole connection and they are good. Beginning to notice Spinaclean stuff is very professional even the hose is smooth inside.

I honestly could not see how this machine could suck stuff out of gutters when it won’t suck a bit of dust of floor

Yours must be broke, mine is working great and sucks out even the rainwater. I am using a 50mm hose and don't have any problems.

It obviously is then only have it 35 days return is 30 days so I’d say I’m stuck with it

 A year's guarantee, so if its broke then they should replace it. If not, contact trading standards because you have rights. I take it you bought it new?

I did indeed but it says on eBay 30 day return but I’m awaiting their reply on a response and resolution

Fitted my new 10m Spinaclean hose with both their connections. What a difference and the hose doesn't fall off the pole because its soft rubber material. Makes life a lot easier when you have the right tools. Will probably do my gutters tomorrow to try it out with the camera.

The hard plastic fitting is £12 and the rubber fitting for pole is £36, the 10m hose was £96 but it makes life a lot easier. I had to buy the 51mm inlet which was £80 so all in I was over £200 but made it back in 2 weeks.

Is the pole 38mm

 

[scottish cleaning service]

The 50mm poles from ebay that gcs makes. Great for £345 and carbon fibre.

Looks good mate, is that silicone you’ve had to use on the hard plastic fitting?, I presume that hard plastic fitting is for the 50mm inlet you installed from them as well ?

Has anyone got this guy to reduce postage for two different tools? He offers additional items for £1 more, but hasn't replied to me asking the question.

Thanks. Thought that might be the case. I'll order one this week and when it arrives, order the next!

Buy a meter of 50mm aluminium tube and make your own. You can get it off ebay

Aye, you just screw on the connectors onto the hose but I used a bit of silicon on the hard plastic connector. My mate wasn't convinced that a vac could suck out all the dirt from a gutter, he is still an old timer with bucket and ladder. After we done mine, we emptied the vac on the grass. He couldn't believe the amount of sandy dirt that came out and is now converted to the vac fulltime. The same happened when I introduced him to the WFP for cleaning PVC. One has got to move with the times if one can afford it.

I'd just like to say a big thank you to everyone who has contributed to this post. We do clear gutters, but few and far between, and didn't want to purchase an expensive kit that would just sit in the garage over a couple months. I first started out building our own water fed poles and I've also built my electric reel, so always up for a bit of diy on a budget if poss.

Anyway here goes,

Bought cyclone 51mm adapter, connector, 5m of reinforced 51mm hose and cuff from Gutter Vacuum systems   £142.79

135 degree elbow from Ebay                                                                                                                                 £13.98

Flagpole ( alloy sections 51mm)                                                                                                                             £50.00

Vac 3000w 80 litre Wido                                                                                                                                       £220.00

Clamps                                                                                                                                                                  £21.85

Total = £448.62

Well pleased with that......and just found this on ebay, which I'm going to store it in 11.99

Storage Bag

So far, all under £500, gonna source a camera and mount. Well pleased, and thanks again for all the information supplied.

I did source a company who could do carbon fibre tapered poles, but went up to the £300 + and for how many we do the £50 flag poles will suffice. Thanks all, appreciated.
