@@PatrickPhippard no never had a problem with it. Been in about 7 years now and still use it every day during the winter

@squeakycleandave1 thanks,I'm gonna install mine over the holidays in my 350 upright water tank.

@@Bluesmusicno1 no. Definitely electric

@@justsamuelhaze yes definitely 👍

@@marcusherts9345 very similar on power but this has the deflection plate which stops the filter from clogging so it doesn’t lose suction

@@traceyrogers5125 it’s this one New GForce Compact Gutter Vacuum kzbin.info/www/bejne/rILdXqlohN1-qpY

Which is safer though?

@@squeakycleandave1 Your are right dave..... it is a choice everyone has to make personally ..... But experience is key here .. knowing when you can use a ladder , the angle. the surface ( wet or dry )... You could attack it like this ... Do bottom floor with the hand and ladder and the top floor with the gutter vac..... What type of ladder you use and also the fragility of the gutters all play a role.

Call me crazy, but I do both, & even when I’m using the vac, I normally quickly go round with a ladder to quickly check & unblock all the downpipes, gulleys, before I vac up the rest, sometimes you’ll be there forever with the vac, trying to get into the corners, where moss has grown under the lead corners, need to get your hand under there, & pull it out. Vacs are great, but you’ll still need to get up on the ladder sometimes, & even put the vac away & do it off the ladder for some jobs

@@marcusherts9345 A soaking wet sponge or microfiber cloth is a great way to push debri in the gutter when you are on a ladder and if you combine that with a telescope pole you can hit several meters in one run both left and right of where the ladders is positioned ! SAYING that a vac looks professional...

@ yes I have a 22ft pole with gutter attachment, & I use an old applicator sleeve to move an water along , if I have to, I can normally do one side of a house in two moves, off ladder, with trad pole👍

I haven't used the atom. It's a fantastic little vac. absolutely love it.

Thanks for your support. The next video out should be about it. 👍

@@dauntlessmedia9791 the glass is rinsed but with it being sped up looks like it’s not

@@ShaneBrady-t2b you would need to contact Ionic Systems

@@Yianni-GR you are best contacting the supplier

@@pete801 you are right Pete it is scary

Should do. Might need to put different holes in as I'm not sure how it lines up

@squeakycleandave1 thankyou Ur v helpful 👍

@@pete801 I normally brush it on but it can be sprayed as long as it isn’t windy

@squeakycleandave1 thanks very much Dave. Fantastic work 👍

Give them a shout 👍

They are good looking machines 👍

Hi JD. Ive got a 1700w Panther and a 3600w Predator and I use the 1700w 95% of the time as its so efficient and convenient 👍

​@@squeakycleandave1 Aye I've seen your video on the panther, looks the business 💪

@@JackBarnes-x5q yes I did clear as well. Sorry I don’t discuss the prices I charge on social media. It’s between the customer and myself

Some people prefer the clamped but personally I think I prefer the push fit as they seem slightly more ridged. The only thing with the push fit is that you have to make sure you clean and PTFE spray them regularly so that they don't stick together. The only time I had a problem with that was when I had been using them for a few years and was being lazy with my after use care.

Great feedback. Thanks

@@alankopitko5335 you can get gloves that will protect you but I’m not sure how good they are for actually working in. Normal gloves don’t do a lot with higher voltages.

Thanks Duncan 👍

As long as you didn't have it at full power. I use my 30lpm pressure washer with hot box now

so true 👍

Hi, and thanks for your input. As it stands there is no British Standard or any other standard in any other jurisdiction specifically for Window cleaning poles but at the same time there is no higher standard than BS:8020:2011 for hand tools for work on or near conductor rail systems, emphasis on 'near'. In practical terms when tested with 10,000volts no current passes through a BS:8020 handle (our test rig goes up to 12,000v and 12kv doesn't pass either). Testing any 2mtr long handle with say 33kv would be both very dangerous and technically difficult in the average factory setting, that kind of energy is going to ground at any point it can within 2 metres so it will bypass the product you are trying to test. The 2 UK fatalities in 2022 and then Jason's accident in April this year has shown that it is indeed time for a standard specifically for window cleaning poles, the existing BS8020:2011 standard by means of a simple amendment would be a good vehicle for this.. Currently there is a small but increasing number of industry professionals dedicated to this cause. The aim is not to produce poles that can be rested against overhead power lines without fear of death, rather it is to create and industry standard to protect any pole user who may unknowingly come too close to a high voltage overhead power line. The safe distance for such power lines is 2-3mtrs (depends who you speak to) but it is clear the further the better, waterfed pole manufacturers could increase that safe distance by a further 3 meters by fitting 2 x BS:8020:2011 sections to the base of every carbon fibre and hybrid pole they sell. An all glass fibre waterfed pole is always the safest option but they too should have BS:8020 handle sections x2 for the sake of clarity. This also applies to gutter cleaning poles, Ionic's roof wand had 2 BS:8020:2011 base sections from the get go, much greater risk here. Every Ionic waterfed pole carries a unique serial number and users are encouraged to register their pole for warranty purposes but mostly to access important safety information particularly about electrical safety. We obtain an electronic 'read and understood' signature for 80% of the poles we sell, education is also important. In Jason's own words, "the accident happened when I grabbed the 2nd section". Having 2 base sections that bear the BS:8020:2011 logo is a practical way to dramatically reduce the risk whilst serving as a constant reminder to "Look Out and Look Up'" for overhead power lines. We now have MP's engagement in this process, there is another industry meeting next month and progress is being made. If you are reading this and believe this is a worthy cause then you could help by encouraging your chosen supplier to get on board and give their input, some are not. These awful accidents are happening worldwide, one in Canada earlier this year too. British manufacturers have the opportunity to lead the world in this move for greater safety, please add your voice. Electrical Safety advice from The British Window Academy; Always conduct a risk assessment for every job, Look Out, Look Up for electrical hazards. Wet surfaces increase the risk of electrocution, take particular care on rainy days. Never use waterfed poles during electrical storms. Never lift a pole away from upstairs windows for rinsing. Never remove glass fibre handle sections to save weight. Poles made entirely from Glass Fibre are your friend and should be used on any property where insulated overhead powerlines serve the property. Pure water does NOT conduct electricity, check filter systems regularly and always use the purest 0ppm water. Craig

@tihbm thanks very much for taking the time to reply. It is really appreciated all the great work you and others are doing to help protect us all. Thanks
