The garden hose inflatable bladder did okay.


Bought one to clear a pool underground line of some restrictions. Not
sure if it was to small to fit tight or if the water pressure was to
low to swell the bladder. It did flush some small tree twigs from the
line. Much better.


My first use of the hose bladder thing, it didn't
swell and fill the pipe. Had to use a different
faucet with more water flow.


I bought a smaller bladder, planning its use for other things besides
the 2" pool pipes. It fit the pool lines, but not really tight. It
worked by using in two directions. Forced leaves and twigs back to
loosen and then the other direction to flush the line to the leaf
basket. I may buy the next size up for the pool one day.

Good to shove the bladder as far in past any fitting and then turn on.
