Pressure Power Sewer Jetter Kit

I had two corrugated underground downspout drains that were clogged with roots. The only plumber of 4 that would even attempt to clean them out wanted $530 an hour to do it. I set up the pressure washer, put the kit together, cleared both pipes and put everything away in a little more than an hour. It worked exactly as described. This kit was good, because it didn't have a big long straight piece at the end, so it was more flexible and easier to go around a bend.

I apologize for the long review but I believe in good reviews. If you came hear to see how fast the shipping was or if the product is what I expected, you'll have to read other reviews for that. I could care less about shipping speed and even if I did, it's amazon, I have ordered stuff on Friday after 6 PM and it was delivered by 1 pm on Saturday...but, I digress.I have used pressure washer drain snakes for 25 years, and this is THE best one I've ever used. Without disparaging the negative reviewers please understand, if you've never used one of these before you will more than likely have negative results. To address a few things in the reviews. The different nozzles do NOT all have the same size holes. Well, the single forward facing nozzle does have the same size but the propulsion holes (the ones facing rearward) are the size indicated on the etching on each nozzle. These are mainly for different size pressure washers. I would recommend the smallest (4.0) for most home-owner type pressure washers (anything under 2.6 GPM). As a side note, PSI rating is almost irrelevant without serious GPM. I have a very old honda commercial pressure washer that is 2,400 PSI but flows 4.1 GPM and it will run circles around my 2800 PSI 2.4 GPM big box store pressure washer. Using a pressure washer snake requires finesse. The snake is made of PVC hose and is naturally curved, always, so the nozzle will want to run along the side wall of the pipe(like pointing slightly into it), if you encounter a joint or sweep that stops the forward movement, keep the pressure on, pull back on the hose an inch or two and rotate the hose 1/4-1/2 turn. If you're trying to clear a solid grease blockage, keep doing this until you have rotated all the way around. This will allow the forward facing jet to eat at the grease all the way around the pipe. It takes a little practice but it does not just magically run through the pipe, cleaning everything in one pass. One of the reviewers mentioned trash in the hose that plugged up the nozzles. So, knowing this I blew my hose out with compressed air, nothing came out, so this was not an issue for me. Any of the big box stores/home improvement stores have tip cleaners in the welding section, they are cheap and a must have for anything with tiny holes.It's 100 feet exactly from my cleanout to the furthest sink (kitchen). The spinning nozzle is the most effective piece of this set...for MAINTAINING your pipes. It has no forward facing nozzle so it is pointless to use it for clogs. I ran one of my older drain snakes (only 50ft) from the cleanout under the kitchen sink, and then from the cleanout on the other end to bust up the wax hard grease (I had solid blockage-sink wouldn't drain at all in 24 hours). Once I busted through that mess and finally got what I thought was clean water free flowing through, I decided to try my new snake with the spinning nozzle, holy crap! That thing sounds like a herd of bumble bees on steroids. I let it work it's way through slowly, pulling it back 4-5 feet every 10 feet or so, I could not believe the black/brown crud that came through the pipe!Please, and this is mainly for the men on here. I know we like to see how things operate (especially if it's something we've never used/seen before). Trust me on this one, DO NOT pressurize the snake without it already being in the pipe at least a foot. There are too many jets, at different angles, on opposite ends to predict what part of your body is going to get cut first. I accidently pulled the snake out of the pipe many years ago and it shot across the yard like a wild bullet on a leash. Speaking of that, get some electricians tape (colored) I use white, I have a wrap one foot from the end, two feet and three feet. As you're pulling the snake out under pressure, you'll have a visual warning before you screw up and are on the way to the hospital.Oh, and the kit provides you with the largest amount of teflon tape I have ever seen...literally a lifetime supply for the home owner.

This is a cloth wrapped hose. I was surprised, but happy. This keeps the hose pliable, hard to kink, and prevents many of the dings and cuts that happen on plastic hoses. Worth the money!!!

Works well cleaning out corrugated pipe, hose does want to kink a little bit.

This is a quality hose with everything I needed to quickly connect to my Simpson pressure washer. It included a quick connect fitting for the end of the nozzle so I could use the handle on/off valve, as well as a screw on connection that allowed direct connection to the pump outlet. I used it to clear out nine 70 foot laterals in my septic drain field. I have cleanouts on the ends of the laterals with a radius curve so the hose went easily around the corner of the 1 1/4" pipe and then down the full 70 feet. I used the jet nozzle to clean out plugged sections as well as all the lines, then I followed with the spinner nozzle for a final scrub to clean out the drain holes in the pipe. This was a lot easier than using a metal spring snake. The septic field is working fine now.I recommend putting a piece of tape to mark how far into the pipe you want to go and another one about 3 feet from the end so you don't accidentally pull it out before you're ready. Also, I bought an extension cord reel from Home Depot for winding and storage, which held the entire 100 foot hose.Well worth the price!

It should come with an adapter for 1/4" line to a regular pressure washer male quick connect. We had to go down and get adapter & reducer at pressure washing store to make it work.It works well. Be careful and you will not kink the line like other reviews.The rotating jet make a lot of noise, use less pressure when using it.

It is not too often anything works better than expected. This thing was amazing. I never expected to be able to run the 100 ft. hose all the way into my 4" corrugated drain tile but I did it uphill and around corners with eaze. I used a 3100 PSI power washer. I connected one of the cleaning tips and put it in and started the power washer. The pressure started to pull the hose in without me doing anything. I simply fed the hose a bit and it continued to pull itself in all the way to the clog. I pulled the hose out a bit and let it go back in. Back and forth a bunch of times and the hose continued on its way to all 100 ft. I pulled it out and ran it back in many times until the water coming out was clear. I found the heads that did not spin pulled themselves in easier than the spinning head. I used the spinning head at the end for a final cleanout. I had to laugh a bit at the review that stated it was a hydraulic hose that came with this set. If that was the case this would cost about $1,000. The hose has 4000 PSI printed on it. It may hold 4000 PSI but not very long. It is a plastic hose and kinks very easily. I was careful to unwind it prior to using it so it would not kink. The heads work well. I could not see much of a difference between the three standard heads but the one that spins was the way to go to give the tile the final cleanout. I did not use the garden hose adaptor. I do not believe it would work very well with a garden hose instead of a pressure washer. Even if I never use this again it was worth the money.

Shipment was received in a timely manner, attachments were straight forward. However, the hose gives the impression of reinforced rubber which was not the case, while routing the hose to clear the drain the hose needed to be more rigid.
