General Pump Sewer Jetting Kit w/ Ball Valve, Gauge, & Three 3.0 Stainless Steel Sewer Nozzles

I usually don't write reviews, but this was a major victory for me.

We developed a clogged drain in our basement floor just downstream from our kitchen sink and where the washing machine dumps the dirty water. I had a plumbing company come out to snake it ($99), which they did, but they told me that there was "cholesterol", a black sludge that clings to the inside of the pipes that will close up within a week. They were right, it closed up in a couple of days. They quoted me $850 to "jetter" the pipes.

Not wanting to pay the $850 I started doing research. I found the kit (MTM Hydro Jetter PW conversion kit) for $150. I also bought the "General Pump Sewer Jetting Kit w/ ball Valve & 3 stainless steel sewer nozzles" for another $100 (this addition was key due to my pressure washer PSI & GPM (2,800psi & 2.8GPM), the nozzle hole sizes need enough pressure to be effective and the proper nozzle sizes come with this kit. the ball valve and fittings were helpful too).

I had to buy more fittings and I had a small length of hose made (another $100), but it worked and I saved myself $500 and I have a sweet jetter rig for use any time I might need it. I battled and battled. At first I was defeated, unable to open the "cleanout", I sent the jetter through the washing machine exhaust water (trapped) dump. I finally was able to open the proper "cleanout" by cutting the old brass fitting out. Then I pushed the jetter in and out for 15 minutes - and it worked! There was a clog at the bottom of the "stack", years of stuff clogged up right there. The hose self-feeded into the pipes 20' or so.

This was not easy! I am a handy guy, I opt to buy the tools and fix stuff myself instead of calling-in the professional all of the time, but this job was my most frustrating. I felt defeated several times. But I kept trying and finally I found the clog, broke it up and cleaned the pipes.

All in all, it was a $350 gamble. But I emerged victorious!

I would recommend this and the complimentary kit as well.

It looks like top shelf stuff.

I'm making my pressure washer into sewer auger to clean my tile going out to woods from septic! Gets plugged with dirt every couple years! Last time the guy charged me $200 and he wasn't here fifteen minutes! Anyone with a decent pressure washer should have this attachment.

I also bought 22mil to 1/4 male pipe so I can hook up Jetter hose and have my own sewer cleaner!
