Hourleey Sewer Jetter Kit for Pressure Washer 100FT, Drain Cleaner Hose 1/4 Inch NPT, Orifice 4.0 Button Nose and Rotating Sewer Jetting Nozzle Spanner Tape Pearl Corsage Pin, 4000 PSI

I live in New England, and our gutters empty into ankle-high cast iron pipes that run underground (I think either to a french drain or the sewer system).Those pipes have been clogged with dirt and debris since we got the house, and with all the torrential rain recently, they fully backed up causing some moisture issues in our basement. I came across "jetting" as a solution instead of traditional snaking — glad I did. Some products I found, the hose alone cost $60. The "Clog Hog" seems nice, but goes for $180ish. So after shopping a spectrum of products, I was skeptical about this $40 dollar kit that came with everything needed, but it turned out great!Installing the fittings onto the hose was a breeze since it came with 2 wrenches and teflon tape. I put the quick attach on one end so I could pair this with my power washer's gun.I used one jet head for 3 of the pipes, all of which cleared within 5 minutes of work. Note — you want to work the hose up and down as it's pulling itself into the pipe, that seems to help clear out debris. Each time, the water would be filling up the pipe, and then suddenly I'd see it all drain as the jet cleared the obstruction. Very satisfying and relieving to have it work.I ended up using all of the tips on the 4th and most difficult drain which took me probably 40 minutes. There was definitely a major obstruction, as the water wasn't draining AT ALL to begin. The first head helped it start to drain a little. When I got stuck, switching the heads out seemed to help — I think partially because of their different features, and also because backing the hose all the way out cleared the pipe and let the water drain. Each time I put on a different head, it seemed to work down the pipe a little further. The spinning jet head was neat as it makes a loud whizzing noise and I could kind of hear where it was under the sidewalk. It actually brought up some roots from about 10 feet in when I pulled it up.In the end I cleared all the pipes, and even used it to clean out the downspouts from the gutter which had gotten dirt and leaves stuck in the elbows.I'll also say, some other hoses I saw seemed to have a stiff collar covering several inches of either end of the hose. I read that these make it impossible to bend around tight corners, which I knew these cast iron pipes had. This hose was pretty much flexible right after the metal ends and worked perfect for me.

The Hourleey Jetter Kit (100 feet) pleasantly surprised me! Back in January of this year (2024), I had to have my 1,600 gallon septic tank pumped out and rent a 1/2-inch dia. 100 feet size electric roto-rooter to try and clear some tree roots from my two-100ft leach lines. Even with the moderately sized roto-rooter and working in ideal conditions (i.e., empty septic tank, distribution boxes and leach lines), it took me nearly a day and a half to clear my leach lines. Based on the feel of the roto-rooter equipment, I felt that I had only partially cleared the lines and would eventually need to do something more effective. So, after returning the rental equipment, I immediately looked on Amazon for a better solution that wasn't going to "break-the-bank." What I found was the Hourleey Sewer Jetter Kit. After reading its reviews, I ordered one to hopefully finish the job. I received the product in a timely fashion, but since the lines seemed to be working adequately after the partial clearing, I got busy with other things and never followed up with finishing the job. Good thing I didn't re-bury my leach line distribution boxes, because fast forwarding 11 months to this December 2024, and the leach lines completely clogged again. Unfortunately, this time, the septic tank, distribution boxes and leach lines were completely full of leachate (YUCK!!!) And, I couldn't get a truck out to pump my tank for about a week or so. So, I suited up in my "nasty gear" (i.e., old plastic rain suit, boots, water proof gloves, and goggles), whipped out my 3,100 PSI gas powered power washer, and hooked up the Hourleey sewer jetting kit and got to work. I started with the number 4.0 jet nozzle since it had more cutting power than the 4.5 and 5.5 or the spinning jet nozzle. At about 30 feet into the first line, I felt a root mass and thought, "Oh CR#@P!!! This thing ain't gonna work - it feels like a concrete wall - I'm in deep doodoo (literally) !!!" But to my amazement, after continuing to work on it by pulling the hose in and out at the blockage, it finally broke through after about 20 minutes (the blockage felt like it was ~10 ft long). As soon as I punched through the root mass, it was like someone flushed the toilet and the water swished down the leach line from the distribution box and the septic tank - it was the SWEETEST site and sound that you wanted to see and hear (not smell) !!!! After the blockage was worked back and forth several times with the no. 4.0 jet nozzle, I ran the jetting kit down its full 100 ft length to make sure there were no more blockages in the line. I then pulled the hose out and replaced the nozzle with the rotating one (the even cleaning cylindrical nozzle that sprays out the back only). I ran it down its full 100 ft length, working it back and forth, 3 to 4 feet at a time, until the entire 100 ft of leach line had been cleared. This final step helped cut and break up any remaining roots and clear drainage slots/holes in the lines from any surface biomass that may have formed or accumulated over the years. I repeated this exact procedure for the second leach line. It worked like a charm!!!! The best thing was that I didn't even need to pump out the septic tank or distribution boxes, since it worked under submerged conditions! After clearing the first line, the second line drained back through the first line making its entrance easier to find. I am EXTREMELY happy with the product - at a minimum, it saved me about $1,500 - $2,000 for a tank pump out and leach line clearing job!!!!
