Sewer Jetter - 50 FT Premium Drain Cleaner for Your Electric or Gas Pressure Washer Up to 2.8 GPM (ONLY for Trigger Guns That Have a Metal Spray Lance)

I used the biggest electric I could conveniently get with this - a Sun Joe 1.76gpm max from Home Depot, I think maybe a claimed 2000psi (and I suspect an actual 1.2gpm and about 1500psi). In a 1.5 inch line from a kitchen island, I actually traversed 5 90's total over 20 feet believe it or not, and made it through the sweep into a stack, and through the 90 at the bottom of the stack all the way to the cast/pvc transition at the edge of the foundation (couldn't get past that transition). It took a good bit of jiggling work on the final cast 90 at the bottom of the stack. Frankly I was mind boggled I could get through that one and gave a little whoop of victory.This was my first time using an electric PW ever actually, but my gas had failed, and at no point did I feel like the electric was big enough to pull the snake along, except in perhaps the first 24 inches of pipe, which included a 90. Rather, the snake was rigid enough I could jiggle and twist it and get through. Then, about 12-13 feet in, I had a nearly total blockage, which even after punching it with a 3/4 inch snake, was probably flowing less than 0.1 GPM at best. When I reached that blockage, I had to spray it and bang on it for about 3 or 4 minutes to get through. From running a snake and egg shells, I believe this was a pretty solid mass packed in there for a ways. But I could feel it get through after those minutes and maybe 2 gallons of water coming back. Then I had water flow, and I chased the sludge down the sweep into the stack and out to the edge of foundation. Then I backed the jetter very slowly, running it the entire length and then back to the end and did this maybe 5 to 6 times over 15-20 minutes.My conclusion is that if I were running a bigger pressure washer - an actual 2gpm+ 2300+psi unit - that this would have been a pretty fast single pass operation. Nonetheless, while I didn't run a camera, from flow and feel and sections I could see I think this cleaned my pipe up quite well. But for those running, I would not run it on an electric with a bigger pipe and expect much in the way of results if I was trying to clear built up crud, but maybe it would work ok for a single distinct obstruction. Moreover, if an obstruction in a bigger pipe needed to be swept out of the way, I probably wouldn't trust this to move enough water volume in a bigger than 1.5 pipe with an electric PW.Now on the flip side, if it were a pretty straight run where you could push this through a p-trap or a bathtub or toilet (I suppose that might be possible) and still run faucet water with it or flush, then I suspect it might have more mileage on electric. Hope that helps clarify some possibilities with this. I'm returning the Sun Joe as a disappointment. Electric would be great, but unless I see a cheap 20 amp commercial, next time I have enough need to use this, it will have to be with a gas washer.But netnet, great jetter, and saved some serious plumber bucks. I could even be a little OCD and get hooked on jetting my drains periodically.

(This review is for ASIN B07TYYD3X1, in case it gets merged with other similar products.)TL;DR: It worked very well for me!I was particularly impressed with the seller's thorough description of this product's requirements and limitations. The detailed compatibility and prerequisites let me order it with confidence that it would work with my existing tools. If your situation and resources match those limitations and requirements, this should be a great tool for you.Details:I cleaned out a 30-40 foot run of 2" branch line in our house; it worked exactly as advertised (although I was unprepared for just how gross this would get!).A few weeks ago, a professional plumber came out and used a gas-powered jetter to clean out a different line, and I was impressed with how well it worked -- but 4 hours of their time came to over 1200 USD, and their jetter alone goes for well over 5000 USD.With that recent experience, this jetter seemed worth a try: I already have a modest electrical power washer (CleanForce 1800HD, rated for 1.5 USGal/min at 1800 psi) and a 25' snake, so this was a pretty inexpensive experiment.Result of experiment: it worked well (ejected lots of nasty stuff, drain now flows well) and paid for itself in a single use. (I'll let you determine the value of your own time -- I'd rather spend time doing it myself and getting dirty, than trying to figure out which plumber to use, scheduling visits, etc.)If you decide this tool is for you, a few suggestions:1. Wear a full face shield, not just eye protection. The backspray can be really gross.2. Put together a deflecting assembly of pipe joints (see pic). This helped me route the effluent (my cleanout was flush with the wall) and also reduced the backspray when the jetter tip was close to the outlet.3. Use tape (or some other marker) to track total play-out and to see when the jetter tip is about to emerge.

I had a slow-draining kitchen sink in a house I recently moved into. It also would suck air down the drain after all the water went down the sink, as it did not have a nearby vent. I have an electric pressure washer, and this looked like the perfect tool for the 2" lateral between the sink and the main drain. I took off the P-trap and started the jet down the drain. It took a bit of pushing to get it past the first two elbows, but then started moving through the lateral. I'm glad I had a bucket under the pipe coming from the wall, as horribly stinky black water started coming out of the pipe, as the pressure washer put water out faster than the constricted opening would drain it. There were a couple of times where the jet wouldn't easily go further, but with a few back and forth motions, it eventually made it to the main drain, and the black water stopped backing up. I ran it back and forth a few more times, and reconnected the trap. It runs much faster now than it did originally, and the jet worked great.I'd recommend keeping people with a strong wretch reflex away from the area while doing the work and until it airs out. This is probably not a job to do when the windows and doors can't be opened. And, be sure to keep a bucket under the drain, in case of backup, so it doesn't run onto the bottom of the cabinet. Also, line the cabinet with plastic to protect against splashes, and the nearby floor, as the jet hose will be disgusting when it is pulled out, and it has to go somewhere.Now I need a recommendation for something to make the bucket and jet hose smell better, as it still smells like sewage.
