Wow, Once again, thanks for the extremely educational post Chitty. I truly appreciate you taking the time to post this information, as this will be my first time doing such a procedure. The ball valve methoud is exactly what I plan on doing, my pressure washer came with a 50 foot hose that...

Hi Chitty, Thanks for that extremely informative post!!I will be jetting a 40 foot straight run from my house straight to my city sewer. 4 inch line. My township was nice enough to come out and camera the line free of charge, adn thats how I realized what was inside pipe. The one...

Hi, Thanks fo that info. As far as the grease, I am hoping to break it free from the walls of the pipe and then flooding the pipe with water to get it to flow out. Probably not the best idea but I am not sure how else to approach. To be honest I didn't give it much thought. Being that the...

Hi Mr ALan, thanks for the informative response. Let me give you the background in the situation. This is a 4 inch cast iron drain running from my house to city street, that I will be cleaning via a cleanout I have easy access to. Basically I haev been having frequent backups, I have...

Hi Larry, Can you elaborate a bit on this for me?? When you say unloader I believe my pump has a built in unloader? What does the unloader do and if I don't have one is it feasable to install on for my application? If not I apologize for my ignorance on this subject. The main sewer line...

question on hooking up a ball valve to pressure washer Hi all, I have a question hopefully someone can answer, I will be hooking up a 1/4 x 100 ft. high pressure hose to my briggs 10 hp pressure washer to do some sewer jetting. This will be a first time experiment for me. Unfortunately the...

Hi Larry, I already ordered the 1/4 inch size hose so I hope that will do. I am facing another problem now, I have a 4 inch cleanout then I will be inserting the hose into, turns out the nozzles I will be using will be spraying forward and reverse, so I think I need a way to cap the...

Thanks for the responses guys, I would LOVE to be able to control the flow w/ a foot pedal or even just a ball valve, but I am not sure how. Can you please explain where I can install a ball valve and have it control the flow? Please excuse my ignorance. The way it will be, the gun/wand...

Sorry for posting same message in two forums. I didn't buy a pulsing valve, just 100 ft of 1/4 hp hose and then some nozzles for sewer jetting. Also I was wondering how I will control the flow of water, I guess soon as I start up the motor flow will begin?? Any tips or opinions are greatly...

T-bone, I believe you made a very wise investment,as I did also. I had 2 quotes to have my brick and aluminum sided house pressure washed and both were right around 300.00. That is almost half the cost of my unit. like you said the money you save in not going to the carwash will pay for the...

I Was wondering what kind of chemicals to use for cleaning brick and aluminum siding?? I am new to pressure washing and only have been using pressure to do the cleaning but I would like to delve into the use of chemicals. My unit has a soap/chemical injector (downstream) so I would like to...
