Drain Jetting with a domestic pressure washer

Can i jet my own drains with my power washer ?

You can buy a drain jetting accessory for your karcher pressure washer from online shops like sparesgiant.com but they have limitations.......

Industrial drain jetters have a high flow rate water output to ensure they wash away any blockages. A domestic pressure washer will have a water flow rate of around 7 litres per minute. Industrial drain jetters usually have a flow rate of between 30 and 90 litres per minute. The low flow rate of a domestic pressure washer restricts the diameter and length of pipe that can be cleaned. As a rule of thumb a domesti power washer will power the hose up a 4 inch drain to about 6 metres. If the pipe has a wider diameter the distance will reduce.

How to clear drain blockages

Common drain blockages

Many domestic drains are simple to clear as they are often in the u-bend of the sink and you just have to screw apart the fittings.

Toilets can often be cleared too. Toilet u-bends can be cleared with an un-bent coat hanger.

If your blockage is underground it can sometimes be cleared with drain rods accessed from a manhole cover.

DrainJetting is the best way to clear away blockages although sometimes tanker suction is required in combination with the water jetting unit.
