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

I recently found that my septic drain field wasn't draining and if I hadn't been out doing my biannual septic maintenance, by the next day we would have had sewage in the house. I quickly called a septic company and had the tank pumped the same day (hadn't pumped it in almost 10 years). Told me that an attempt to clear the drain field would cost $2500 - $3500. To clear it, not replace it. I didn't know about the distribution box, septic guy told me about it, so I quickly dug it up and got it open. Water was almost over the top of the inlet pipe.Ordered a bunch of chemicals (and got some from my local big box store) but also ordered this. Used it today and feel very confident that once my tank fills back up, it's going to drain properly. I have two pipes (corrugated) running from the distribution box to the drain field.There are 3 spray heads in the kit. A "bottle nose", a "mushroom head" and a spinning one. Directions are mostly pictures, for the wording, English is clearly not their native language so it wasn't clear to me the difference between the bottle head and the mushroom head. I think the difference is the bottle head is a little more focused spray while the mushroom head is a little less. I started with the bottle head, then moved to the mushroom head, then the spinning head for each pipe. The hose does tangle up and kink easy. It's a high pressure hose, just like your PW hose, guess it's how they work. I stretched it out across my property and let it relax, that helped but you definitely have to watch it, it will wrap it self around itself quickly.On the first pipe, I got about 17' and it hit a clog (I wrapped some of the teflon tape around the hose where it stopped, then pulled it out and walked it off to measure). Worked it and worked it and finally got past it, then it stops around 36' (I think this is the length of the pipes). On the second pipe, I got about 5' and it stopped. I couldn't get past it until I switched to the mushroom head and finally got past it and also got to 36' before it stopped. Water definitely seems to be flowing better now. We cut down on our water usage big time to save time before the tank filled back up, so I could get this done as well as get chemicals in but from the water I put in it from this tool and also a hose, it definitely is draining much better.If you have someone to help, it's much easier and you can use the attachment to your pressure washer gun. My PW is 3100 psi btw. You can do it yourself, one hand feeding the hose into the pipe while the other pulls the trigger but MUCH easier with a second person. You don't have to use the gun, there's an attachment so you can connect the hose directly to your PW but being that I was interchanging the heads, it was much easier to have my helper (wife) let go of the trigger while I changed the head. Otherwise you'll have to shut off your PW and the water, change the head, then start everything back up.I ran each head through each pipe at least twice and ended up shoveling and hand pulling a lot of sediment back out of the distribution box (good set of cleaning gloves is recommended). The heads literally pull the hose through the pipes. I have no idea of the actual layout of the pipes but they must have a minimum of a 45 degree bend, if not more, in order to leave the distribution box and go out to the drain field. Besides hitting the clogged areas, there was no problem getting the hose in there, like I said, it pulls itself through it.I had been putting in copper sulphate once to twice a year, originally just flushing it down the toilet like the instructions explain but later, after learning that's basically just throwing it away due to dilution, using a pvc pipe to angle into the pipe that feeds into the distribution box and pouring it into the pipe and chasing it with a water hose. The septic guy said I should be doing that monthly! Geez. He also pointed out some plants, I think they're called Lacy Tree Philodendron, that I had all around the septic system that the original owner had planted and said they were the worst thing for septic systems. Can't believe I never thought of it because these things are basically root systems with leaves! The next day I cut them out with my chain saw and hatchet.I ordered a 50lb bag of copper sulphate powder from Wally World and put a bunch into each pipe, via the distrubtion box, and chased it with the water hose. Once my other chemicals get here (concentrated bacteria really), I'll do the same thing. I'm also going to try and find a solution to where I can much more easily access the distribution box, vs having to dig it up everytime. Long story short, ordering this system is a whole lot cheaper than paying someone else and even if I could only use it once (which I can clearly use it multiple times), it would be worth it.

I had a clog in my sink drain that I simply could not get rid of. I took apart the pipes and cleaned out the trap. Still no success. I snaked it with 100 foot pipe snake and cleared it for about two hours, but it clogged right back up. Thought about calling a plumber but decided to give this a shot and boy was that a good decision. I bought the 150 foot Jetter and hooked it up to my little 1800 psi electric pressure washer thinking it might not have enough power, but it sure did. I found a clean out under the house and put the Jetter in. It walked itself through and while pulling back, I managed to fill up a whole Walmart shopping bag with trash that was clogging it everything from chicken to clumps of Greece and more. Just make sure you don’t have any kinks in the line so that you can get the most pressure. I decided to lay it out straight and then walked back with it to where I was gonna be working so that there would be no kinks. Trust me you will not regret this purchase. After using it try to find something to wrap it around so that it doesn’t tangled up on you for the next use thankfully, I had an old hose reel laying around

I was having issues with the kitchen and garage sink draining slowly. When the water softener would go into regen (it uses the garage utility sink as its' air gap) it would back up in the sink until it reached the level that allowed it to then flow into water heater’s leak pan. Overflow the pan and causing the water heater to shut down. I've had two different plumbing companies to the house with no results even though one company tried hydro jetting the mainline drain. I ordered this product to try and clear the drain myself and Amazon delivered it on time.The first thing I did was mark the 100 ft. hose at 10-foot intervals with green electrical tape so I could tell how much of the hose was in the drain line. Once I reached about 50-foot mark I found the clog. I didn't make much progress at first, then I found that stopping the water using the pressure washer's wand, then pushing 5 or 6 inches of hose into the drain line. I then "pulsed" the water as fast as I could with the wand control while holding the hose so it couldn't back out of the pipe. This seemed to clear a few inches of the clog and I could then 'pull then push' the hose about foot and it would basically pull its self into the pipe. I kept this up until it wouldn't go any further at about 94 feet of hose. I pulled the hose and switch to the rotary nozzle and it ran into the drain line much quicker since it didn't have a forward water jet. Pulled rotary nozzle back out slowly then repeated. The rotary nozzle makes a loud whirling noise and we could hear in the garage under the water heater so we knew we were through the clog. I found what looked and felt like cooking grease on the hose which a typical plumbing snake would never get out and the kitchen and utility sink in the garage now drain better than it ever did since owning the house.As for the product, I couldn't really tell much difference in the Mushroom and Button nozzles although the Button nozzle seemed to make turns better than the Button nozzle did. Also, my pressure washer is a 2500 Psi, gasoline powered and I think that would be the minimum pressure I would want to use with the 100 foot hose.
