Bought a cheap wet/dry shop vac to clean out the underground pipe from the house to the water tank. It worked a treat, after the drain caps were opened and the smelly water level dropped I got 5 x 15 litres of really nasty stuff out. Then went and cleaned all my gutters in a quarter of the time it used to take. I will have to spend some cash to re-plumb the down pipes above ground.

Oh yeah i got a ryobi one they are fantastic for plumbing related issues. Though never thought about cleaning the gutters with it

I'll make a fitting that easily reaches the gutter under the projecting edge of the tin, and that will make it even quicker. I might also tape the wheels up so the vac doesn't tend to roll off the roof

Sounds like a good idea, i hate cleaning gutters and am surrounded by gum tree's.
What type did you buy & cost?

Why do you prefer it?

Have enough trouble with gas and fuel caps on cars lol.

Anyway it didn't happen. The filler was for petrol. And diesel nozels won't fit in the ports

Yea I know you can fit 2 separate caps in the gq fuel cover but it's tight.
Much prefer the single cap.

I've got an LPG and a petrol under the one cap....

I got myself one of these blowers for blowing out my gutters. Works a treat weighs bugger all so it's easy to handle when I'm on the roof and has no cords or hoses to trip on. I already had the batteries so the blower only cost $59.

I have tried a few times to blow out the leaves but never works for me as the leaves at the bottom are damp.

Shop Vac super, stainless steel tub. $85 I paid way too much, but I needed it today, so I could get the system ready for the wet weather due this weekend. Also, the vac got rid of most of the algae and moss a blower wouldn't touch. I have seen them advertised for $47 at Godfreys. But there isn't an outlet anywhere near me.
