Jetters
Jetters for drain cleaning are specialized equipment designed to clear clogs and debris from pipes and drains using high-pressure water streams. They come in various configurations to suit different needs, from portable units to ute (pickup truck) mounted systems and complete trailer setups. Here’s an overview of these setups and their advantages:
Portable Jetters:
Purpose:
- Versatility: Portable jetters are compact and maneuverable, suitable for accessing tight spaces and residential drain cleaning jobs.
- Ease of Use: Lightweight and easy to transport between job sites.
Features:
- Gasoline or Electric Powered: Options available for different power sources to suit operational preferences and environments.
- High-Pressure Pump: Capable of delivering sufficient water pressure to clear tough blockages and debris.
Ute (Pickup Truck) Mounted Jetters:
Purpose:
- Mobility: Mounted on a ute or truck, these jetters provide mobility for servicing multiple locations or large properties.
- Power: Higher capacity and power compared to portable units, suitable for commercial and municipal applications.
Features:
- Integrated Setup: Includes a water tank, high-pressure pump, hose reel, and controls mounted on the truck bed for easy access and operation.
- Extended Reach: Long hose lengths for reaching distant drain points without moving the vehicle.
Trailer-Mounted Jetters:
Purpose:
- Comprehensive Setup: Complete trailer setups offer a self-contained solution for extensive drain cleaning operations.
- Versatility: Ideal for contractors or municipalities requiring a mobile and robust system for various drain sizes and types.
Features:
- Integrated System: Includes a water tank, high-capacity pump, hose reel, engine or motor, and controls housed within the trailer.
- Heavy-Duty Design: Built for durability and reliability in demanding environments.
Key Considerations:
- Power and Capacity: Choose jetters with adequate water pressure and flow rate to effectively clear different types of blockages.
- Hose Length and Diameter: Ensure hoses are long enough and have suitable diameters for reaching and clearing drains of various sizes.
- Fuel Type: Consider fuel efficiency and availability based on operational needs (e.g., gasoline, diesel, or electric-powered).
- Maintenance and Serviceability: Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure consistent performance and longevity of equipment.
Benefits of Jetters for Drain Cleaning:
- Efficiency: Clear tough blockages quickly and effectively with high-pressure water streams.
- Versatility: Suitable for residential, commercial, and municipal drain cleaning applications.
- Mobility: Portable, ute-mounted, and trailer setups provide flexibility to service different locations and types of drain systems.
Investing in the right jetter setup—whether portable, ute mounted, or trailer mounted—can significantly enhance drain cleaning operations, improve efficiency, and meet the diverse needs of residential, commercial, and municipal customers.
