With rain/drizzle falling an
average of 174 days per year,
Abbotsford has the distinction of
being the wettest city in Canada
with approximately 1538mm
(about 5 feet!) of precipitation
falling annually!
As such, it was a dark and
stormy evening back in 1994. The
rain was pelting and the wind
was blowing the remaining fall
leaves off the trees. At the time,
we lived in a 3-story house on a
greenbelt.
We are Mike & Lori Wester,
creators of the Guttermaster
Waterfed Poles. We live in
beautiful British Columbia’s
Fraser Valley surrounded by
mountains and lush
farmlands. Also known as
the Lower Mainland, locals
sometimes call it the Lower,
“Rainland”.

Our Story So when we heard the
unmistakable torrent of
water gushing from the
gutter onto our balcony, we
knew what that meant. They
were clogged with twigs and
leaves from the storm and
needed to be cleaned out.
But how were we to clean
the highest gutters – which
were 3 storeys up?
Climbing up a slippery ladder in miserable weather was not an
option – especially since our house was built on a slope and it was
a very long way down to the bottom. It was then that Mike –
always the problem solver – joined a long piece of conduit with a
flexible copper pipe (carefully bent to curve on one end), fashioned
a nozzle and a hose connector to each end, and attached a garden
hose. It looked really weird but… voila! It actually worked! The
gutters were flowing freely again and he didn’t even have to pull
out a ladder!
"The idea for Guttermaster was born."
Over the years, we have researched, developed, and perfected
what we think is one of the best – if not the best – gutter cleaning
tools on the market. It certainly has come a long way since that
first prototype. Our success is a testament to that because we still
believe in it. And so do thousands of our happy customers.
"If we can save just one life by keeping people off ladders, we can consider
Guttermaster a success."

About the Product
Clean your own gutters safely from the ground with the
Guttermaster Pro Curved Water Pole. Using ladders for cleaning tasks
can be very risky and dangerous. Climbing up and down the ladder and
stretching over to clean hard-to-reach areas also demands a lot of
physical energy. We have the solution! Guttermaster has made
cleaning from the ground possible with its curved water-fed pole that is
strong yet lightweight and does not compromise on rigidity. The flow-
through design makes this tedious seasonal chore quick, safe, and
efficient. Clean around your whole house in a single afternoon while
saving hundreds of dollars by hiring a professional. Just hook the pole
up to your garden hose and you're ready to go!
The force from this telescoping water wand depends
entirely on your own garden hose and water pressure, so it can be as
strong or gentle as you like. The stronger the pressure, the easier it is to
remove years of debris, like clumps of wet pine needles. If you have
non-standard gutters we advise contacting your gutter manufacturer
for cleaning options.
Note: Depending on your water pressure, there may be some kickback
or recoil when using this pole. We recommend acclimating yourself to
the pressure gradually before opening the flow control valve fully.

Basic Setup
01
There are no accessories or
assembly needed for your
Guttermaster pole - it is ready to
use. The high-pressure nozzle on
the tip is permanently attached
to the pole.
STAY SAFE AND SOUND ON THE GROUND…
At the garden hose connection
end, you will notice that the
metal connector with shut-off is
a separate part that unscrews
from the pole. This is for easy
replacement if it is ever needed.
03
Make sure that the shut-off is tight
to the pole. This part may have
loosened in shipping and it needs
to be snug to ensure a good seal.

Lastly, make sure there is a
rubber washer present where the
garden hose connects. This is a
standard washer that is the same
found in any garden hose or
garden hose accessory.
STAY SAFE AND SOUND ON THE GROUND…

Important
Make sure that the shut-off is
closed, then attach your garden
hose to the pole. Turn on the water
flow at the tap. The Guttermaster
pole is meant to generate a strong
flow of water to push leaves and
debris along your gutter, so don’t
extend it and turn it on full force
right away.
SOME THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND.
With the pole retracted, turn on
the water flow slowly and get
used to the feel of the pole. Then
extend it and get comfortable
with usage, still remembering to
turn the water on gradually to
maintain control.
Those are the basics! You can find
some suggestions on the effective
use of the Guttermaster pole in the
next section.

Usage Tips
Start at the Downspout01
For cleaning your gutters,
we recommend cleaning
small sections at a time for
best results. Attach a
standard garden hose to the
shut-off valve at the base of
the extended Guttermaster.
Starting at the downspout,
point the nozzle directly down
into the downspout opening
to ensure there are no clogs
and ensure water is flowing.
Once the nozzle is aimed and
in place, slowly turn the water
on using the convenient shut-
off valve.
Stand back to one side (and not directly under the gutter) to avoid
getting splashed. If the downspout is clogged, you may need to
disassemble the downspout to clear the blockage. Once clear, turn
the Guttermaster unit off and proceed to step number 2.
Move Back from the Downspout02
Move the Guttermaster further back from the downspout about 3′ to
5′. Stand facing in the direction of the downspout holding the pole at
a 10 to 15-degree angle. Ensure you aim the spray head down and
along the path of the gutter. Slowly turn on the water, and walk
towards the downspout, with the water spraying in the gutter in front
of you.

Usage Tips
Once you reach the end, if
need be, point the nozzle
directly downward into the
downspout opening to ensure
debris is cleared. Turn the unit
off. Again, move further back
along the gutter another 3′ to
5′ and repeat these simple
steps until you have cleaned
the entire length of the gutter.
Please Note: Do not pull the
garden hose along using the
Guttermaster pole. It is
recommended to leave plenty
of slack in the hose while in
use. To move to another area,
pull the hose with one hand
while carrying the
Guttermaster in the other.
Best results will occur with regular
maintenance of your gutters. The less
the debris builds up, the quicker the
cleaning time. If the gutter has been
neglected for some time and is full of
large twigs and fresh leaves, you may
need to use the tip of the
Guttermaster to try to flip the large
pieces out of the gutter. Optional
water flow brushes can be used with
the Guttermaster pole for cleaning
windows, siding, vehicles, and more.
To clean surfaces, attach the
appropriate brush for the task and
slowly turn on the valve to
soak the surface and loosen
the dirt. Turn the water off and
apply cleaning solutions if
needed. Rinse and repeat if
necessary.
Note: Do not overtighten the
brush as it may strip the threads
inside the brush head. If you
need to realign the brush, turn it
counterclockwise and back it off
until the desired position is
achieved..

Troubleshooting
What to watch out when problems occur?
Your Guttermaster Curved Pole has a removable shutoff valve for
easy maintenance. This is a standard-size garden hose shutoff.
Please note that it unscrews from the body of the pole. There are 2
washers that need to be present for leak-free operation.
First, make sure that the white washer is present between the
shutoff and the pole. This shutoff can loosen during shipment or if
the pole is overly twisted during use, so make sure that it is twisted
just snug.
Next, make sure that the black washer is present between the
shutoff and your hose. Make sure this connection is tight and snug
but again do not overtighten.
Note: Do not overtighten this connector.
Washer 1 is between the pole and the shutoff.
Washer 2 is between the shutoff and the
garden hose.
