I just bought a Nilfisk Alto 961 and a 40ft carbon fibre set from GCS. Alex was kind enough to supply me with an adapter for my Nilfisk hose.
The vacuum is a beast and very well made. Hugely powerful. It came with a dust filter in the head. First question is must the dust filter be removed even when the gutter debris is bone dry in this weather? I assume it’s deaf filter out when wet vaccing...
2nd question is about carbon fibre. The poles are very thin and I am scared of damaging them. Do they need treating with kid gloves? What tension do the poles need to be done up to. The most I have done is when I hear a slight crunch, just enough to stop the pole spinning.
The poles look ok but I have nothing to compare them to. I couldn’t have afforded a skyvac set of poles.
They also threw in a GoPro bracket (I have a GoPro hero 4), and I use my phone as a monitor. This seems to be the way to do it on a budget.
