SkyVac Atom - is it too good to be true?

[Diamond geezer]

Yes well looked on their web site,they have some tapered poles,and some cheaper clamped,Whats been throwing me is the wording on their w

eb site poles,like super lite or something . I conclude mine are the cheaper clamped ones,but a bit older cause of the writing on them.T,he hose is 10+ metres long,not sure how iam going to get on with that.What iam trying to fathom at the moment is pole diameter.Mine are 2".Sky vac offer two sizes 2" and a smaller diameter,they seem to be recommending the smaller dia greater suction and easyer accses to gutters themselves.Would you throw some light on pole dia for me please thanks

No I just bought the vac from them and use my existing carbon poles that I bought from a different company , try looking on Grippatank web site to see if you recognise them on there , 

On my vac theres a metal insert(tube) about18"longcut at an angle,that fits in the side entry that the hoes goes over,bit of a beast,is yours like that?

I had a 38mm inlet and all it did was block all the time. Swapped it over to a 50mm inlet and never had a blockage.

Don't get the thinner poles, access to gutters is via tools that are basically the same size no matter what the pole dimensions are

Yes it’s about 8 inches long , it’s a good vac a lot better than I was expecting to be honest

Research what your competitors in your area charge. Different parts of the country have different rates.
