Sewer Jetter Kit

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.

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.

Overall - good product. Used it to clear out main sewer drain. Will use on small in-house lines, drain spouts, and buried runoff pipes. Adapters fit well, no leaks. Used with a 1800 psi machine and it did the job. The rotating nozzle was great. Recommendations: should add markings in feet or meters along the hose. I did this to mine and it is really helpful in determining where clogs are and which pipes (inside) it is reaching. This applies to all manufacturers. Wish that the line was a little stiffer. That would make pushing it through a bit easier. Plus, I’m not sure that this will not kink up over time. Difficult to go around corners. It would be better if nozzles with different head shapes were included: mushroom, bullet, pointed, and spring heads. It’s not clear if the included 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0 nozzles really differ from one another.

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!

When my cast iron pipe developed a clog between the house and septic tank, this sewer jet setup cleaned it out in no time. I first tried using my 2000 psi electric pressure washer with the spray nozzle but wasn't having too much luck. After watching a YouTube video with a similar situation I hooked it up to my 3000 psi gas powered pressure washer and the cutter nozzle. I plowed through the clog in no time and then took some time to clean the whole sewer pipeline up and down from the outside trap with the same nozzle. Some advice for when you use this for the first time. Fully unwind the coil in your yard before you hook it up and use it. I tried using as is and found it just was wound too tight and would kink. When you're done and have hosed it off, coil it up in a big loop so it's easier to use the next time. Also get yourself some heavy duty long rubber gloves and wear a mask and eye protection. Using this jet is going to push out some sewer gas and potentially some spray, so be prepared. And lastly, if you want the best results you will need the power, PSI and GPM of a gas pressure washer. My gas is rated 3000 psi and 2.4 gpm versus my electric of 2000 psi and 1.2 gpm. It makes a difference. Happy jetting!

Occasionally I get a really bad clog in my drains because when my house was built (in the 60's), it seems plumbing was an afterthought since someone in my tract housing neighborhood always has plumbing issues because our pipes are terrible. 5 days ago it happened again, and I was tired of calling a plumber and having to pay $500+ for them to just jet my sewage drain. So I decided to try and do it myself. I ordered this hose a little skeptical if I would be able to do it or not. I was also a little skeptical if my Craftsman 2.4 GPM 2700 psi pressure washer would be powerful enough to jet out the clog, but I ordered it anyway to try and save $450+. Needless to say, this thing worked perfectly. About 60ft down the drain is where the clog was, and I could tell because when I hit it, there was a bit of resistance, but the biggest giveaway was that the water began to flow down the drain. My pressure washer had more than enough power to unclog my 2" old pipes, and it also was powerful enough that the hose just needed a little push to follow the line. The only thing I can complain about is the rotating head. Since it is not cone-shaped like the rest of the fittings, when I wanted to follow up with the unclogging by just cleaning the drain with the rotating cleaning head, it would not go down that far, especially in the 2" pipes. If there was a sharp turn or just a transition, the fitting would get stuck. Other than this minor inconvenience the hose worked great! I am glad I bought this and I recommend anyone who is tired of paying $500+ to a plumber for 1-2 hours of easy work to buy this thing. As other reviews said, it may not go down that easy in the beginning, but once you learn how to angle the jet hose to go into the pipe, the process becomes pretty straightforward. And also I should say it helps to have a second person while doing this process.

I have a big Oak right over of all place my sewer line. I have to use an auger rooter every year due to the annual plumbing backup. Saw a pro version of this product on YouTube and thought I’d check Amazon for a DIY version. The price was acceptable providing it would work, so I took the plunge into Jettering. I chose Twinkle Light because of the variety of nozzles not knowing just what I’d need to do the job right. I didn’t like the fact that it took a week longer than advertised to arrive and it came with no instructions. However got on YouTube and took tips and advise from users. I still wasn’t sure which nozzle to use when but figured it out. Started with 4.5 bullet nozzle but at about 50 feet I couldn’t punch through so I tried the 5.5 because of the smaller jets figuring on a more needle like cutting fore and sure enough it cut right through. I finished up with the rotating nozzle to clean up what the previous had left behind. Gotta say I am truly impressed and proud of this buy worth every penny. One thing I didn’t do is run a camera down line to check my work so the next purchase will probably be a 100 foot borescope. Now the true test is to see how long till the next cleaning. I should probably have the Oak removed as well.

I was very surprised to find that this hose is made of a high friction rubber, or it has some kind of coating on it. This thing wants to snag on every bend and turn in the pipes. And the self-propelling feature is not very impressive. I had to jam it like a regular snake to get it to go 30 ft with one hard 90° turn at the start of the pipe. It took about 10 minutes to reach 30 feet in a 4-in pipe. The next pipe probably had too many turns in it, because I couldn't get the hose to travel further than 15 feet. I didn't feel a clog, and the water didn't back up, but the hose just wouldn't go any further. For reference, I was using the declogging tip, not the cleaning tip. The orifice sizes were not labeled.

I purchased this jetter kit for a silted up land drain network and it worked a treat. The variety of Nozzles was very helpful as I wasnt sure what my 150 Bar 2 Gallons per minute machine would need. The pipe outside is very smooth without ripple or texture and had no trouble snaking its way thorough the kinks in my drain system. Without care, the pipe does kink but is not fatal. I would suggest obtaining some form of rotary drum to store and wind pipe onto to prevent the twisting when coiling up by hand!. All in all this product exceeded my expectations and for the 100ft length is well worth 5 stars.

Worked a treat. Did a great job

Good

Don’t get I put Pressure through and it appears the inside of the pipe is flooded as The water Does Not come Out with much prssure

Liked the product. Don't know why it had to be double boxed. Waste of cardboard and bubble wrap.
