Sewer Jetter Kit for Pressure Washer 100FT, 5800PSI Drain Cleaner Hose 1/4 Inch NPT Corner, Rotating and Button Hose Sewer Jetting Nozzle Pearl Corsage Pin Waterproof Tape with 2 Spanner

I'm a professional plumber and have used more than a few jetters, ranging from a diesel-powered 4500 psi "Pipe Hunter" trailer-mounted unit down to a 3500 psi gas-powered MyTana van-mounted system. This jetter kit certainly doesn't compare to those systems, but for emergency drain clearing (or even some preventative maintenance cleaning of your pipes), this system isn't bad. I've used this system at home three times now, once for a clogged sewer line, once to PM my kitchen drain (grease), and once for some roots invading a grey-water line. I'll share these experiences later in this review. First of all, you're going to want a reel with a valve on it. Yes, technically you CAN run this hose without the reel, but it will likely turn into a fair mess of tangled hose in no time flat. I got pretty lucky in that we had an old reel at work that we were just going to trash... those things can get pretty expensive (the one we bought to replace that reel was over $600.00). Secondly, if you've run a professional jetter, you know the hose will pretty-much feed itself. Well, not so much with this setup. This comes down to the tips that are included with this set. They have exceptionally small orifices (this is probably just so that smaller pressure washers can run it). Fortunately it seems that the hose is threaded with NPT (National Pipe Thread), which is the industry standard, so you can find tips just about everywhere with orifice sizes and styles to meet whatever demands you have. Your only limitation will be with the pressure washer that you attach to the hose. Larger orifices need more GPM (gallons per minute) capability. The hose itself seems to be of decent quality, but I've dealt with quite a few jetter hoses (and seen them tear and even burst) and this seems like more of a light-duty hose. If this hose was rubbed against the corner of a pipe a few times I could easily see it peeling. Again, if you're getting this for emergencies or the occasional PM of your lines, it shouldn't be a problem. My experiences: I had a clog in a 3" line, near a combination wye junction that was about 40 feet or so from the cleanout. This was my first time using this jetter kit and I had it attached to my 3300 psi Craftsman pressure washer. I was really expecting the hose to rapidly self-feed (like one of the big professional jetters I've used), but it did not (even using the tip with three rear-facing jets). I had to feed the line in manually. When it reached the clog it did a good job of breaking up the soft material and pushing it through, but I doubt it would have been so successful if the clog had been something more solid (like cloth or large roots). Again, this can be cured by getting tips with larger orifices (if your pressure washer can run them). After that episode I brought home a sewer camera from work and ran it in all my lines (I wanted to know WHY I got the clog in the first place). I found that the 2" drain leading away from my kitchen had a fair amount of grease buildup in it, and a grey water line had some small roots entering it (which is pretty common for buried pipe). I put the rotating head on the jetter and ran it through the kitchen line several times. It actually did a fairly good job of cleaning the pipe of the grease (it wasn't as sparkly-clean as a big jetter would have done, but it was definitely acceptable). Next I ran the same rotating head through the line with the roots. These were quite small roots (toothpick sized at best) and the jetter managed to chew through them pretty well. There were a few stubs still sticking down into the pipe after multiple slow passes, but again it did an acceptable job. Had those roots been any larger, though, I doubt the tips included in this set would have done anything to them. So to summarize, this is definitely a good emergency kit (and good for general line cleaning once or twice per year), but it doesn't compare to a large, professional jetter in terms of capability. I might, in the future, get some larger tips and give them a try, and if I do I'll update this review.

I have and old house with crudy pipes and have to hire a plumber at least once a year to snake my drain when my washing machine overflows. It will be ok for a few months then the problem is back again. This hose was super easy to use and I got a TON of junk out of my pipes. The first few feet it went in, the water was flowing back out of the pipe and I collected it in a bucket and dumped it in my yard. After 10ft or so, the water was draining down the drain and no longer coming back out. The next day the water I dumped had dried but left behind a pile of dark muddy crud. I was blown away how much junk it removed in only the first few feet. The only issues I had were the connections were not great and were leaking, even with the Teflon tape. Also, the hose towards the end is very rigid and had difficulty passing one of the 90 degree turns. It will have difficulty in 1-1/2” pipe but ok with 2” and above as long as there aren’t any sharp 90 degree bends. It definitely will not pass a p-trap, you would have to disassemble the trap and go directly into the pipe. For the money, it’s definitely worth it compared to paying a plumber to snake your pipes. I am very happy with the results.

Works pretty well. The heads are good for larger drains. I could not get the heads past a 90 degree elbow, The smallest one almost would fit. Even with this setback, the pressure and agitation was able to stir things up and removed the blockage. If the drain pipes have large radius sweeps rather than abrupt 90 degree elbow, it will be perfect. Or a special head that is designed for tight turns. I will continue using it.

Works great. I have a 40 year old home. There was a lot of "build up" that was easily cleaned with this. Works great on main clean out and smaller ones throughout the house.

I rarely write reviews but this saved me hundreds of dollars and a lot of aggravation. I have been having problems with my sewer drain to my septic tank clogging up and sewage coming up in my floor drains in the basement occasionally. It clogged 4 times in the last 5 years. Three of those times I was able to get it flowing with a 100’ snake connected to a drill which was a PITA. One time I had to rent a large snake that cost me $80 and was a big job to use. The last time I had to call someone out to do it $400. I was ready to call them again because I could only get it to drain slowly. I saw this on Amazon and with the next day delivery I hoped this might work. I hooked it up to my 3700 psi pressure washer and sent it through. It hit a spot and stopped but was very slowly moving. In no time it was through to the next spot where it did the same thing except when it went through water started gushing out the pipe so I knew it was unclogged. I was jumping for joy because this is not what I wanted to be doing the day after I buried my father. I then switched jets to the one that spins to clean the pipe. I sent it through and when slowly pulling it out I saw bottle caps, baby wipes, dryer sheets and fine gravel, lids to laundry detergent. When I bought the house five years ago the was no cover on one of the floor drains and apparently stuff had been falling in there over the years. The house is 125 years old. I highly doubt it will clog again. This was very quick and easy to use and works incredibly well.

It works exactly as advertised and includes everything you need (except for the pressure washer of course). I was kinda sceptical about how much the rear facing jets would propel the hose down the pipe, but they really do. When you're in a nice straight section, you just slowly feed the hose down and let it do the work for you. You do have to wiggle it around a bit to get around corners and such. A variety of tips is nice, and even the little things, like the included wrenches ("spanners") are a nice touch. I personally didn't use the pins at all (didn't need to), but I understand how it would be handy that they were included in the kit. The thread tape was pretty cheap and didn't work great, but I still used it and it did work well enough. All around, a great buy, especially since we were quoted $800-1200 to have a local company hydro jet our drains for us. I should note that we had a grease clog that we had to hire the local company to snake out. ($225 btw) They ran a camera afterwards to show that the line was open, but still had grease stuck around the perimeter, reducing the diameter of the pipe. This meant it would be easier to clog again in the future, and that technically the flow was somewhat restricted (though not enough to impact us currently). They told us they would put the money we spent on the snake job towards the jetting total. Still, this jetter was a far more economical option, and was super easy to use. Since we had flowing drains when I used this, I can't speak to its clog clearing abilities. I would hesitate to break it out if I needed to clear a clog, only because adding more water to a drain that isn't flowing will temporarily make any backup worse. I feel like the ideal use would be snaking the line to restore flow and then jetting the line to clean it, but that's just a non-plumber's point of view. In hindsight, I wish I had just rented a long snake from one of the big box stores and then bought this. Live and learn, I guess. I'm tempted to rent a sewer scope to take a video of the drains now to see how clean they are, but haven't done it yet. If I end up doing it I'll update my review to add the video.

I had underground storm pipes from my gutters and downspouts clogged. This thing worked great. I had 25+ year old pipes that were super clogged. This helped me clear it up in a couple hours after work with only medium effort. Saved me a few thousand from replacing pipes myself and $10k from paying someone to do it. And it's easy enough I plan to do maintenance clean once a year to prevent clogs. The length is perfect. You do need a strong pressure washer. Most electric ones won't do. You need a strong gas powered one. It's easier with two people but one can manage. I strongly recommend this product.

There seem to be a few possible problems with this kit but here were my experiences: #1 - The tip not being threaded. That didn't happen to me. I bought extras that were just the tips just in case. But mine all came very well made. #2 - The hose not going around corners in the pipe. There is a rather large strain relief right on the very end of the handle. It keeps it from kinking right there at the connection point. I was dealing with 3 inch Corex brand drain pipe. So it is a... corrugated... internal texture. I had no problem go around a rather large number of corners as I cleaned out the drain line. In many cases the first 90 degree corner was only a foot or two in. I found that just trying to go into the corner and if it stopped pulling back a bit and trying again was all that I needed to do. I don't mean to say it worked the first time just that it worked. In one case I had to try for more than 10 minutes. But once past it the cleaning process continued smoothly. Because of how it was coiled the strain relief was slightly curved. I used that to my benefit when I new where the first corners were. #3- The hose kinking easily. When it does not have water in it the hose is rather limp. I could see it perhaps kinking in that state. I had watched a YouTube video from a professional company that showed unwinding the entire hose. Getting it laid out as flat and straight as possible. So I did this then I pressurized the hose via the pressure washer before moving anything. This made the hose a lot more rigid from being under pressure. I used way over 120' (of the 150' length I bought) in the cleaning process. Doing it this way I got no kinks at all. None. But I could see it happening easily if this process was not followed. #4 - The cleaning end and hose not feeding itself. I had the exactly opposite experience. I was using a 3000 psi pressure washer. It was not pulling so hard I couldn't control it. But it was actively trying to feed. I expect that a lower PSI rating might reduce or even remove the pulling force but for what I was doing it was present and noticeable. #5 - The hose breaking, rubbing off, delaminating... I did have anything like that at all. I went in and out of my drain lines many time making sure it was fully clean. Except for a bit of shingle grit that came out stuck to it, it looks brand new. No wear and tear at all. So my experience. - I took buried totally blocked drain lines that let my home flood and cleaned them in a short period of time. Just the cleaning part took me probably 90 minutes. But I was going slow and being very careful and thorough. - I have 6 downspouts feeding into 1 line. I had to clean each feeder line and the main trunk line to get everything flowing well. - It took about 4 minutes to get setup. To pick the cleaning nozzle I wanted. Get it onto the end of the hose. Get the hose carefully unwound fully. - It took me about 15 minutes to figure out the pressure washer itself. Borrowed and not something I had ever done before. - The hose at 150' is long. Very long. I had to move it carefully a few times to do all of what I needed to do. My bottom line is this kit was affordable. It works like a champ. It was durable and will work for some time to come if I need it again. If not at the price? It would still be a great 1 time use purchase. At < $75 for a major cleaning that prevented the chance of a very expensive flood it was darn near a miracle. If you need to clean something like I did I recommend it completely, Get it follow the simple setup of unrolling the whole hose and it will clean things amazingly well.
