About four years ago I switched to cleaning gutters with a vacuum. Started with a shop vac and burnt it out in one day. Next was an industrial shop vac wihich I still have but found it still wasn't powerful enough for huge jobs that needed long lengths of hose. Two years I got my hands on a home-made 55 gallon drum vacuum that we are currently using. It has two 12 amp central vac motors mounted onto the lid. Our main problem is power, we too often trip the homeowners breakers and if they aren't home we can't finish. Anyway I'm greedy and still looking to make a more powerful vacuum. I have been researching building a trailer mount with a huge generator to power it. I would need to run up to 150' feet of vacuum hose to reach everything from the street. I thought of just adding more of the central vac motors, 6 actually. The other option is to go with a regenerative blower.
Does anyone out there have any experience with this. If I do the 6 vac motors can I hook them up in a series to get more vacuum pressure? I'm also trying to figure out if it's possible to have a collection bin or two and have the water be able to drain out automatically when they get full. We are in BC and have tons of rain during gutter season so we end up sucking up all the water as well as the dirt.
Thanks for any advice.
