Reminds me of the American jetflush toilets (build-in pressure washer, if you like). Always clears the pan, and if the sewer isn't blocked, it clears it down the sewer ;-) -- Andrew |

I seem to get a blockage in the sewers every 12 Months,. I have found
the best way to clear it is with a Jet washer. I have also found the way to do it is to put on a bin bag with eye slits and goggles. **** sticks On 08/12/2014 15:48, wrote: On Monday, December 8, 2014 3:17:06 PM UTC, Andrew Gabriel wrote: Reminds me of the American jetflush toilets (build-in pressure washer, if you like).

I'd imagine the ceiling above collapsed with the wet.
Many moons ago a friend tried to use a drill with a hard buffing pad on the end for this. I don't think he had read the instructions.

Untrained females or tree roots? I have found the best way to clear it is with a Jet washer. Have set of rods... I have also found the way to do it is to put on a bin bag with eye slits and goggles. I shall remember that, should I ever have need to jet wash a drain. -- Cheers Dave. |

Some jetflushes work directly on mains pressure water with no tank (the ones I see in US commercial buildings, at least - just use a timed flush valve). -- Andrew Gabriel |

... clean a toilet bowl with a pressure washer. Don't think this method has much to recommend it either (apart from the laugh!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Qt95KUOX_8 Take care! Rod |

Does anyone make a quadruple check valve, I wonder ;-) -- Andrew Gabriel |
