Kiam gutter vac

[brianbadonde]

Seriously considering buying a gutter vac as I have passed up lots of work lately due to not being able to get to certain bits. Does anyone have any experience with Kiam?

Kiam Gutter Vacuum System KV60-3 3000W with Gutter Pole Kit

The KV60-3 utilises three individually switched 1000W motors providing fantastic suction power

Does this kit look good? Is there anything in particular I need to consider in a gutter vac?

I have had it's bigger brother for many years and though very reliable the trolley was very weak and broke virtually straight away. The biggest problem though is if they're not side entry they don't have anywhere near the suction and constantly block.
So if you do buy it convert it to side entry by buying the kit to change it.

Just seen it's 38mm as well so you'll have to buy bigger diameter hose, poles and tools

Kiam do have a side entry model with the 50mm entry -

You can buy a titan 1500w vac from screwfix for £80 and the poles from kiam for £240
Give it a go as it will handle most jobs
Then upgrade to a bigger vac
I have a 3000w also but rarely need to use it
Just need to buy 5m of 50mm pond hose for £20 off Amazon (can send a link) and you will be gutter vaccing for 300 quid
The hose fits snug in the vac and over the poles so no need for fittings either but you will get them with the poles

Website is equip2clean and is basically kiam in the uk
The aluminium poles are actually quite light but then I’m 6’2” and about 16 stone so not an issue for me
No fat though lol I’ve worked off my beer belly but do play rugby

 

[brianbadonde]

Nice one gents, some useful info there. The side entry I’ve read about but this confirms that this will be something I need to consider as I want to get it right first time.

Part timer; what diameter hose do you think I need?

 

[Part Timer]

It's 51mm I think

Yet another question!…… I will be doing mainly domestic jobs and cleaning 2 and 3 storey buildings; I assume for the latter height I will need the 40’ pole kit?

If you are going to spend that kind of money you would be better looking at GVS vacs @GVS Julia Martin there stuff is good and not to expensive, if funds allow look at Skyvac

30 foot should do most houses , 40 feet will be more than enough 40 feet will do this in the picture

Can`t speak for the Kiam but have a 1700watt GVS Panther which has been an amazing bit of kit. Well worth considering

Have you looked at GVS (Gutter Vacuum Systems) as they do the GVS3600 triple motor with 71mm side inlet at similar prices, although they are out of stock at moment.
@GVS Julia Martin and co are able to offer great service.
