What is a Hydro-Jetter?

Hydro-jetters, also known as “Sewer jetters” or “water jetters”, are powerful drain cleaning machines that use high-pressure water jets to clear obstructions in residential and commercial drainpipes as well as larger municipal sewer systems.

Simplicity of use, safety, and efficiency of cleaning are the main reasons many plumbers and drain cleaning professionals are turning to hydro-jetting as the tool of choice.

Sewer jetters can be truck or trailer mounted and may carry up to 600 gallons of water for large sewer cleaning jobs. Our trailer mounted jetters can be easily pulled by a small truck or van. We also offer smaller hydro-jetters that may be mounted on a cart for light residential and commercial applications.

How does a Hydro-Jetter work?

A high-pressure hydro-jetter consists of a pump, a motor or engine(s), a hose reel, a given length of hose and a various assortment of nozzles. Trailer mounted jetters come with a tank mounted to the trailer (200,300 and 600 Gallons). We offer additional portable water tanks for cart and truck mounted jetters. Hydro-Jetters high-pressure pump is essential to delivering powerful water jets needed to clean drain and sewer pipes. The pump delivers high pressure water through a pressure hose that is wound around a hose reel to enable the operator to easily unwind and retract the hose.

The pipe is cleaned with a high-pressure water jet by directing water flow and pressure through a nozzle. Using a nozzle, the controlled water jets and flow propels the nozzle through the pipe allowing it to remove and wash away the obstruction. High pressure jetters operate up to 4000 PSI with flow rates between 2-23 gallons of water per minute.

Ideally, a sewer pipe is cleaned from the lower end of the pipe and the hose propels itself to the higher end of the pipe. By slowly withdrawing the jet hose, the water pressure and flow cleans the line most effectively. When it is impossible to clean from the lower end of the pipe, the pipe may need to be water jetted multiple times to remove all the debris.

Who Uses Sewer Jetters?

Our customers who purchase hydro-jetters are plumbers and drain cleaning companies who perform these services for residential and commercial customers.

Facilities managers often choose to purchase sewer and drain cleaning equipment to control their costs, which provides them with the ability to set their own drain maintenance schedules. Facilities operators are also concerned about potential interruptions to business operations that can result due to clogged sewer drains. Building sanitation is also a major concern for hospitals, schools, government offices, resorts, and so on.
