Drain Tile Cleaner Walks Through Pipe

Drain Tile Cleaner Walks Through Pipe FARM HOME Miscellaneous 17-3-38 Here's a nifty new way to clean out plugged drains, gutters or even field tile. You simply fit this high pressure point to the end of 1/2 or 3/4-in. dia. hose and it'll "walk" right through clogged pipes, flushing debris out behind it. One water stream from a tiny hole in the top of the cleaner clears the way in front of the cleaner while 6 reverse streams off the back of the point propel it ahead. It's strong enough to drag 50 ft. or more of garden hose behind it, depending on pressure being used. "It's an inexpensive and easy way to clean out gutters, drains and septic lines. It's been tested on clogged field tiles but at this point, it's not clear just how serious a plug-up it could handle," says distributor Alfons H. Tenhagen, who's importing the new drain cleaner from Germany. It'll handle water pressure up to 80 psi but can handle most jobs at normal household water pressure levels. It's made out of plastic so it won't damage pipe. It'll thoroughly clean any pipe from 2 to 6 in. dia. Sells for $15 (plus shipping).
