Question 1

Hi, does anyone have problem with 2" pipes' 90 degrees angle and We are using gas pressure washer with 3200 psi but we're not able to make a turn.

Accepted Answer

Sam, we'd expect the JetSnake sewer jetter to pass through most 90-degree elbows in 2" ID drains.

The exceptions can sometimes include older cast iron drains with very rough, heavily corroded inside surfaces, and laundry drain traps that can have more than one tight radius turn close together.

If you're having difficulty passing through an elbow in a 2" ID line, you can pulse the flow of high pressure water with the pressure washer trigger gun as you pull back on the line and feed it forward. This can often help the nozzle pass through a small radius elbow.

You can also disconnect the jetter from the pressure washer trigger gun, coil up the line that's outside the pipe, turn the bundle several times in a clockwise direction to add some twist to the line, and then continue to slowly twist the line as you snake it through the elbow. Then reconnect the drain cleaner, resume the flow of water, and continue to feed the sewer jetter into the drain.

If these steps don't solve the issue, you should check to be sure that the all of the jetter nozzle orifices are spraying at full force. To check for a nozzle that's been partially blocked by dirt or debris that entered through an open supply hose, attach the pressure washer to the garden hose, connect the trigger gun and jetter, turn on the garden hose valve, and WITHOUT starting the pressure washer squeeze the spray gun trigger so that water at low, household pressure flows through the jetter. If the nozzle is free of debris you'll see four constant, solid water streams spraying from the jetter nozzle and the three back streams will be the same size.

If the nozzle is blocked by dirt from a supply hose, you'll see inconsistent, weak, or fluctuating water streams. If necessary you can use an adjustable wrench and a set of pliers to remove and clean the nozzle (using care not to grip or twist the green hose cover), provided that you seal the exposed male fitting threads on the jetter hose with removable thread sealant or Teflon tape before reinstalling the nozzle.

Question 2

do you or anyone else make one for an electric pressure washer? I would like to use a product like this but i only own an electric pressure washer.

Accepted Answer

Provided that your ELECTRIC pressure washer has a trigger gun with a METAL spray lance that has a threaded brass inlet fitting, Amazon now sells a '50 FT Premium Drain Cleaner for Your Electric or Gas Pressure Washer' that's compatible:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TYYD3X1

This sewer jetter has a RAM nozzle with four back jets (NO forward jet) for added pulling and cleaning force. This helps electric pressure washers to power that drain cleaner its full 50 Ft in most drains.

The product page linked above has an image with a list of electric pressure washers with compatible trigger guns.

As noted on that product page, you'll get up to 6 TIMES the cleaning and pulling force if you power this drain cleaner with a gas pressure washer instead of an electric machine.

Question 3

Will this product  remove scale and lime deposits from inside steel main lines ?

Accepted Answer

Using a required GAS pressure washer, customers can usually remove lime and scale from the walls of a drain that is partially clogged with these deposits.

Note: because lime and scale are heavier and more difficult to break apart and flush than most indoor waste (such as grease, sanitary paper, sewage, etc.), it can take much more time and patience to thoroughly clean a drain that's partially clogged with these deposits.

It's usually easiest to start from a bottom drain opening and point the sewer jetter nozzle uphill, so that the back firing jets work with gravity to scrub and flush the lime and scale back in your direction, and you can look into the drain opening to determine how much debris is being flushed out - and see when the drain is sufficiently clean.

Question 4

will this pass though a 1 1/2'  90 degree elbow

Accepted Answer

The JetSnake drain cleaner will pass through many 1-1/2" 90-degree elbows in PVC, ABS and cast iron drains, provided that the elbow WITHIN A FEW FEET OF THE DRAIN OPENING.

If a 1-1/2" 90-degree elbow is more than around 5 feet from the drain opening, it can be IMPOSSIBLE for a sewer jetter to pass through.

And, if a hand-held drum auger can't pass through the elbows or fittings in the drain, then a sewer jetter definitely CAN'T PASS THROUGH, either.

If a 1-1/2" 90-degree elbow or a floor drain trap is close to the drain opening, it can help to take the sewer jetter coil – before you attach it to the pressure washer – and rotate the coil in your hand while you feed in the nozzle, so that the nozzle rotates and snakes through that elbow or floor trap.
