Sewer Jetter - 50 FT JetSnake Drain Cleaner for Your Gas Pressure Washer

I originally bought this product to clean out the foundation drains around my house. They were full to the top with thick, wet mud, and roto rooter told my wife (she owned the house prior to us getting married) that they would charge her several thousand dollars to clear the drains. I spent several days with this jetter clearing out part of the drain system, but it was slow and painful, so I ended up renting a small excavator from Art's and dug up the yard and replaced the old clay pipes with 4" PVC. This was about 2 years ago. Fast forward to this year. I have used the jetter multiple times to clear out the new drains I installed, and it works great. I could probably achieve the same result by stuffing a garden hose with a nozzle on it into the pipes, since they are now full of small debris and not thick mud, but I still felt like the purchase was worthwhile. Now fast forward to yesterday. My wife is in the laundry room in the basement (unfinished) and yells up to me that there is a water leak. It wasn't raining outside, and since I replaced the foundation drains, water hasn't come in during even the heaviest of rains. I go down and find that the sewer is backing up through one of the drains near the water heater. There is a clog in the sewer! My wife has for years, despite my protests, flushed everything you can think of down the toilet that shouldn't be going down the toilet. Well it finally bit us. I dragged out the pressure washer and the sewer jetter, and went to work. It took about an hour, but it was able to clear the clog, and get the full 50' of hose into the lines, so we are clear all the way to the street, or pretty close at least. NOW the thing was truly worth the spend!

I have to admit, I was very skeptical that this thing would work, but based on all the great reviews, I decided to try it. I purchased a 2900psi 2.5gpm Ryobi pressure washer, both items arrived the same day, very quickly. About 15 minutes to assemble the washer, add oil and gas, connect the water supply hose and fired it up, started on first pull and worked perfectly. So here we go, opened the Sewer Jetter package and read the instructions, uncoiled the Jetter hose, laid it out as described and connected it to the washer wand. It seems to be very well made and high quality hose. I slipped about 3-4' of it into the sewer clean out for the kitchen sink and pulled the trigger...very gently feed it into the pipe and it just kind of took off till it got to the first 90 degree elbow, working slightly back and forth a few times it passed the elbow and continued feeding into the pipe. About 30' in I hit the first clog, took about 30 seconds to blast it out of the way and start feeding again. It hit a couple more areas where there was resistance but each time I just worked it back and forth a few times and it cleared it out. After feeding the entire 50' into the pipe I held the trigger and pulled the Jetter all the back out, leaving only a few feet of it in the pipe, feed it all the way back in and repeated this several times. My sink is draining better than it ever has since purchasing the house. Hopefully I don't have to use this thing very often but because it's so easy to use I know I won't hesitate to use it at the slightest hint of problem.

I was fighting a clog in a 2" shower drain that a snake could not get to. I was skeptical that this would be able to negotiate the multiple 90 degree turns in a steel pipe drain because a snake could not do it. I was surprised when I was able to get it to go through three turns, and thrilled when it removed the clog. I then tackled the 4" toilet drain (toilet was removed) which had an obstruction and was able to get it to the cleanout outside (about 20'). I has used one of the cheap Chinese jetters on this and it was not able to go very far, and a snake kept going the wrong direction. This one went through multiple turns by twisting it per the instructions. I was able to complete the whole job in 10 minutes or so (not including setup). I probably saved $500-1000 based on the last time I used a septic company, who took much longer and seemed to struggle a lot, and they only cleaned the larger 4" pipe, not the 2". I am very pleased with my purchase! The jetter appears to be well made, with clear instructions, and it works as advertised. My only complaint is it would be nice if they had a hose retainer of some sort as it easily gets tangled.

I purchased this to clear outdoor drains. I have a Ryobi that hits 3000 psi and it powered this jetter well. There is some technique involved but plenty of videos to show. It cleared out 2 very muddy lines well. One line with roots, not so much. It is too small to really dissolve the roots. I may have to try to make several passes and attempts to see if it will cut them down. Overall, very happy with the product and I would buy it again. Would love to see it a bit longer.

Love this snake. The plumbers are out to steal from you during covid, $260 was the quote, this snake is great, easy to install on my simpson honda pressure washer, really blew the sewer line clean and fast, a tool every homeowner should have, now everyone will call you to help them out for beer and pizza lol. I used the snake again on slow drain sink in bathroom and slow drain bath tub. The cast iron pipe on the bathroom tub was almost completely plugged! I was hitting a wall of sludge, rust, kept working the snake against it and pushed through to the other side into the bathroom sink line, cleared that one easily and that drain is fixed. I spent some time on the bath tub line and need to hit it again but its draining better, amazing that its even clearing such buildup, I'm talking about maybe a 1/2 opening in a 2 inch pipe no other tool would have either made it through this obstruction or if it would (auger snake) what tip would work on scale, lime, rust anyways? This is the best tool I have ever purchased, the only con would be that it can't fit through bath tub drain strainer, but that's alot of bends to make anyways, better to open it where the blockage is if possible.

If you have a clog or slow drain in your kitchen sink, it's likely from years of grease and crud. All a drain snake does is poke a hole thru the grease and the instant power drain cleaner is only going to melt a small hole in the grease. Sooner than later, it'll back up again or just drain annoyingly slowly and you'll be snaking it again in two to three months. After battling this slow drain on and off for two years, there has got to be better way. I called a couple of plumbers and it's $350 just to send a camera down and then $300/hour to jet it from the clean out side. That makes sense since their jetting system is powerful and it's too big and messy to jet it from the kitchen side. I stumbled on to clog hog but Amazon doesn't sell it so this was the closest thing in size to get around the bends in my 2 inch pipe. I watched a couple of YouTube videos and decided the cheaper and bigger hose and more powerful head is not going to go around the bends very easily jetting it from the kitchen side. I test this out in the patio with my Honda pressure washer to get an idea of how far and powerful the jetter is. I then taped a 5 ft section from the tip with red electrical tape, 8ft with yellow and 10 ft with green. I then also tape every 10 ft to get an idea of where the hose is while it's inside the drain. If you have an island sink then remove the air admittance valve and go thru there. Disconnect the p trap any way and put at least a two gallon bucket underneath it to collect nasty back flow. I remove the AAV and push the hose straight down past the the first bend. I got in 8 ft before I hit another bend. I then proceed to connect the jetter to my pressure washer and begin jetting. Knowing I have at least 25 ft of grease build up, I quickly pulse the jetter as far down as I can. I got to 30 ft before I couldn't proceed any further. I then begin the scrubbing process. Back and forth for 5 ft then sending it all the way down to wash the debris. Repeat again at 20-25 depth and then all the way to 30 ft to jet away the debris from 20-25 ft. Repeat the process at 15-20, 10-15, 5-10. After about 2 hours, I felt I cleaned the walls of the drain pipe well enough. You'll know since you won't get backflow when there's no debris clogging the line. I stop at 5 ft and shut off the pressure washer and pull the jetter out. A gallon of water now drops like a rock thru the drain even with the faucet running. Now I'm going to do preventative pressure cleaning once a year. Update 11/15/2023, sink was draining slow. Having an air admittance valve on the island kitchen sink doesn't help but it does let you know that your sink is gurgling and getting partially clogged. I was solo so I was only able to get thru the first 17 ft. I clean the 0-17 foot section of the pipe very well and it sends the debris down and clogged up where the turn at 17 ft is. That sends a backwash out to the waiting 2 gallon bucket. More hardened grease that I miss the first time, some chunks as big as 2x3 inches. I kept the nozzle at the 17 ft area and slowly jet that area. It finally clear the backwash. Remove the jetter and test it. Still gurgling sound even though lots of grease from 0-17 ft was removed. I figure there might be debris just past the 17 ft turn that is sitting there. Sent the jetter down again and with some twisting, I made it thru the turn and finally stuck at around 30 feet. Pressure wash the 17-30 ft pipe section until water is clear as seen from the drain clean out. I remove it and test it again with a sink full of water. I remove the stopper while running the faucet at a max 1.6 GPM and the sink drain the standing water and the running faucet in 3 seconds with no more gurgling sound. Hopefully I won't have to do this again for another two years or so but it's nice to know that it can blast thru any greased obstruction.

It does work with an electric pressure washer. No doubt it is faster and more efficient with a gas pressure washer. I had a drain issue in January so I was jetting from inside my mechanical room. I lubricated the jetter with a slow trickle in a sink drain with Dawn dish soap. I used an electric Ryobi 1600 psi pressure washer. The hose mated up directly to the Ryobi hose that goes to the pistol wand. So, I just used the on/off switch to control it. Fed it water from a garden hose attached to the hot water heater drain. Shove it in the cleanout plug (I did the main and the floor drain). Turn on the water and then the pressure washer. Towels are your friend. Advance 3 feet, pull back 1 foot...repeat. It will slowly pull itself forward if you gently push a bit on the hose. No doubt higher pressure and volume will pull it like a champ so use a gas unit if you can. I took my time and fed all 50 feet in. I went all the way in and out in increments five times and now my drain does it’s job fine. Note to self...clean out plugs are there for a reason! This thing rocks and now it is part of my yearly maintenance routine. Even if you had to buy a pressure washer it’s cheaper than calling out a professional. If you just have rust, scale, and other debris it is a solid choice.

Was a little hesitant to order this one vs the cheaper version where you can change the heads. The instructions mentioned that you should check your piping with wire snake before ordering to ensure that the wire snake will work its way down the pipe. Since the snake was a little hard to get to turn the 90 deg elbows, I decided to go with this JetSnake option. My kitchen drain pipe is 2" and the main drain is 4". I had two pipes plugged and these were in the 2" pipe routings. I actually cut the 2" pipe with hacksaw and found it was practically plugged with only small opening at the very bottom of the pipe; this explained why the drain cleaners would only help for a few weeks; these were only cleaning the bottom of the pipe. Got the JetSnake and hooked it to my pressure washer. Removed the pee-trap under the sink. Put a plastic drain pan under the drain pipe to catch any drippings - this was really important as I found out later. I got lucky and was able to push the JetSnake hose all the way to the 4" drain pipe before applying pressure from pressure washer. BTW, I used Sharpie to mark the length every 10 ft; this allowed me to gauge how far I was and the drain pipe. I put 1 ring mark for 10 ft, 2 ring marks at 20 ft, etc. I had already measured the length of the 2" pipe and it was 17 ft. So, when I was over 20 ft in, I turned on the pressure washer. Pulled 2 ft hose out and then pushed back in 1 ft until I was near the 5 ft insertion length. Pushed the hose all the way in to 50 ft and this this 2 ft / 1 ft again. I had installed rubber joint where I cut the pipe, so I removed and could see the inside of the pipe was totally cleaned. Did same procedure for the other 2" drain from laundry room. NOTE: be careful when we get near the 5 ft or so insertion depth. The nozzle spay can and most likely will spill out into the pan under pipe opening. I used only t-shirt, holding it over the pipe opening to prevent big leakages, and also used the t-shirt as way to keep the hose dry as it was being removed from inside the dirty wet drain pipe. Bottom line: If you have 2" drain pipe with 90 deg elbows, then check with wire snake first. If that work, then choose this product. I didn't want to spend 3x the cheaper options, but I am glad I did!

I have a car wash and for years I've been getting a vac truck to suck out the pits. Everytime I'd get the guy to flush my 4" pipes with a firehose and it would do a decent job but never fully opened them up. This baby just ripped right through years of mud and sludge and flushed the pipes out perfectly. My plumber friend bought one after seeing how effective it is. 5/5 would recommend to anyone

Excellent I like it very good for inside Home jetting job
