What is a Karcher hose for drain cleaning?

A clogged drain is the number one problem because all life stops. Neither wash nor go to the toilet, not to mention other household needs. Therefore, this problem must be dealt with immediately, without putting it off for a long time. What can we offer today to quickly and efficiently remove the blockage? There are many options: from mechanical devices to chemical agents. But relatively recently, a Karcher hose for drain cleaning appeared on the market, which brought not only mechanical devices, but also some chemicals.

The thing is that this hose performs two functions at once: it breaks through the blockage and washes away mud deposits from the inner walls of the sewer pipes. When talking about a hose, you need to understand that it is not just a tubular rubber product with some kind of attachments. In fact, it is a mini-wash, which includes hoses, nozzles and a special apparatus that creates pressure for the water used in the process of cleaning sewer systems.

Hose Karcher

This may seem like a fairly large device. But in fact, this is a small unit that, when assembled, easily fits on a shelf somewhere in a garage or storage room. At the same time, the manufacturer, and this is a well-known one, today offers a fairly large assortment of household appliances for drain cleaning, which differ from each other in power or performance. One of the most popular options is a mini-wash, which creates a water pressure of 190 MPa. And this is a fairly serious indicator that guarantees clearing of any blockages in the home sewage system.

Complete set of mini washer

What is a Karcher apparatus?

The Karcher sewer flushing hose is a household equipment with a small size, which makes it very convenient to transport and use.

The device is so compact that it can be easily transported in the trunk of a car, and it will not take up much storage space.

You can allocate space on a closet shelf and even conveniently place it in a drawer with other tools and household supplies.

But it is worth saying that, despite its compact dimensions, Karcher is very effective even for cleaning pipes with the heaviest contaminants.

In other words, this hose for cleaning sewer pipes is a mini-wash and consists of the following components:

If we talk about the operating principle of the equipment, it lies in the fact that a hydrodynamic machine cleans pipes with a very strong pressure of water, which it supplies inside the pipeline.

The water entering the pipes and moving under high pressure destroys all deposits as it moves and carries them out.

Directly, you can regulate the pressure level yourself.

Today there are washers on sale with pressures of up to 190 MPa, which once again convinces of the effectiveness of this equipment and method of cleaning sewer pipes.

How it works?

The operating principle of both large and small machines is the same: pumping a stream of water under pressure up to 150 atmospheres. The working tool of the unit, the nozzle, is fitted with one of several types of nozzles (rotary, piercing, etc.). Each is designed for specific working conditions.

Due to the reactive force, the nozzle moves inside the pipe, breaking through blockages with the body, and backward-directed jets of water wash away contaminants from the walls. The nozzle itself is attached to a flexible pressure hose, which ensures water supply and high maneuverability of the head during operation.

They produce household-grade devices, the main purpose of which is cleaning sewers from Karcher, Rothenberger, and other hydraulic manufacturers.

Of course, there is no point in purchasing such equipment only to service your own apartment wiring. After all, after quality cleaning, you can forget about blockages for several years. It makes more sense to contact a specialized company.

But you can purchase a device for hydrodynamic cleaning for the purpose of creating your own small business. Such a unit, designed for small diameters, costs from $500. It is easy to transport and use. The demand for such services is quite stable.

How to clean a drain using a Karcher device

Using Karcher, cleaning sewer pipes is very convenient and simple.

Having such equipment, you can flush sewer pipes with your own hands at any time, without the help of professionals.

In this case, the device comes with instructions, which you can always open and familiarize yourself with the information and rules for using the machine.

Please note that it would be much better not to wait for a blockage to form, but to use this kind of vacuum cleaner for preventive measures.

After all, it is thanks to systematic preventive measures that the normal functioning of the sewage system can be ensured.

This will not only prevent the growth of various harmful bacteria in the pipes and the appearance of an unpleasant odor, but will also significantly extend the service life of the sewer system itself.

How to use the product?

The main advantage of the presented equipment is its compactness and ease of use. Thanks to these two qualities, it is easy to transport. Even a person without experience can use the product. All components are connected using buttons, which can be easily clamped to secure the parts of the hydrodynamic complex. The hand gun is attached to the spray tube using a rotating motion.

Switching on: it is necessary to start the high-pressure apparatus after the drain cleaning hose has been immersed in the pipe for a meter. In the case of Karcher, the red mark should disappear from view.

Cleaning: after activating the wash, the tool is immersed in the system using forward movements. This procedure is carried out until it hits a blockage. Having completed its removal, you will need to continue the flushing procedure, treating the entire length of the pipeline.

Finish: if desired, you can first turn off the device and then begin removing the hose. It is recommended to run hot water to remove any remaining debris; adding detergent is acceptable.

Tips for sewer care - it is important to understand that blockages should not occur at all. Use the Karcher product regularly as a preventive measure - this will not only eliminate the possibility of the problem being discussed in the bud, but also prevent the growth of bacteria, eliminating the occurrence of odors coming from the system. In this case, the pipes will last much longer.

Why clean the drain?

When a blockage forms in the sewer system, then such a question, of course, is not appropriate. Periodic (preventative) cleaning of the sewer system is necessary precisely to avoid emergency situations. After all, any pipes of sewer systems are subject to the possibility of clogging, even if you use the sewer very carefully.

Silt and fatty deposits accumulate in the pipes, causing the internal diameter to decrease. The deposits gradually harden and can prevent proper drainage. The frequency of the event depends on the intensity of sewerage operation.

What is pipe cleaning equipment TM Karcher

Karcher household equipment for cleaning pipes is small in size. The equipment can be easily carried by hand or transported in the trunk of a car.

When stored, it does not take up much space. Moreover, the devices are effective even for cleaning heavily contaminated pipes. Essentially, this is a mini-wash. The set consists of:

• hydrodynamic apparatus;
• elastic hoses;
• nozzles

Nozzles

Depending on the nature of the blockage, the following types of nozzles are used in hydrodynamic washers:

• universal - they are suitable for all types of blockages;
• bottom - used to remove silt and mud deposits;
• rotary - good for removing fatty growths;
• punching ones are the most effective, they are recommended for use in case of old hard blockages;
• chain carousel - effective in eliminating large objects and hard growths that accidentally fall into the sewer.

Operating principle

With a Karcher hydrodynamic apparatus (machine), pipe cleaning is carried out by strong pressure of water supplied inside the pipes. Water, moving under high pressure, destroys and removes deposits. The working pressure can be adjusted; there are washers with pressures up to 190 MPa, so the effectiveness of the method is obvious.

At the same time, the integrity of the pipes is maintained, since they have a good margin of safety. The hydrodynamic method has been successfully used since the mid-50s of the last century, and today it has gained real popularity.

Operating principle of a hydrodynamic device

In essence, the hydrodynamic method of removing blockages is that water is supplied under strong pressure (about 200 MPa, it is possible to regulate) through a hose for cleaning sewers and pipes. As a result, you can observe the elimination of even the most complex traffic jams, consisting of fatty deposits, food debris, hair, pieces of fabric and other debris. All this is easily discharged into the drains.

Strong pressure works in such a way that the surface is sanded as if it had been walked over with a brush. A pipe that is completely freed from sediments has the property of self-cleaning, like a new one. The sewer cleaning machine works quite carefully with the pipeline and in no way violates its integrity. After washing has been carried out, the walls will not soon be covered with plaque.

The hydrodynamic machine works on the following principle: the working part with the nozzle is located at the beginning of the area that needs to be cleaned. The compressor starts. A powerful jet of water is supplied through the hose from the compressor under pressure, pushing the hose with the nozzle along the pipe and thus breaking up the sediment. During flushing, a person only monitors the position of the hose and, if necessary, adjusts the pressure power.

The design of industrial and household units is similar. The main difference is the size of the nozzles and the power of the device. Equipment for sewer cleaning includes the following elements in its design:

• water compressor;
• its drive is electric or internal combustion engine;
• high pressure hose;
• its tip, which serves to attach one or another attachment.

A household drain cleaner is an electric, portable, single-phase device. Industrial devices usually have higher power and are most often powered by a car engine, which is located on the chassis.

How to clean a sewer using a Karcher washing machine

The Karcher sink is simple and easy to use; the instructions supplied with the device describe in detail the operating principle. To clean the sewer system in your house using this hydrodynamic equipment, you should:

1. Attach the required nozzle to the Karcher pipe cleaning hose.
2. Lead the hose with the nozzle through the toilet or hatch into the sewer pipe to a depth of approximately 1 meter.
3. Turn on the device, and the elastic hose will go deeper into the cavity of the pipe.
4. Once it reaches the blockage, the nozzle will destroy it and allow water to exit the system.
5. After the formation is removed, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the inside of the pipes several times.
6. The hose with the nozzle can be removed from the sewer after turning off the device.
7. To wash away the remaining contaminants, pour a large amount of water into the sewer, preferably hot water using any detergent.

Using a hose

The Karcher hose is easy to use and maintain. The rules for cleaning sewer pipes are described in detail in the instructions that come with the unit. Hydrodynamic equipment is stored disassembled, so it must be assembled before cleaning. To do this, the hose is connected to a device that provides water supply, and a suitable type of nozzle is installed at the end of the hose itself. Before starting work, you should make sure that the hydrodynamic equipment is in good working order.

Photo: junction of the hose with the hydrodynamic unit

Then the device is immersed inside the pipeline to a depth of approximately 1 meter and turned on. There is no need to worry about moving the hose through the pipes, it will do so automatically. Its length is more than 15 meters, so the nozzle on the edge of the hose is guaranteed to reach the blockage and rest against the plug, washing it away with water.

Cleaning does not end with removing contamination. After the blockage is cleared, the pipes still need to be flushed. This is done for preventive purposes: if you get rid of silt deposits inside the pipeline, the risk that blockages will form over the next few months will be reduced.

After flushing the waste system, the equipment is removed from the pipeline. Then the pipes are washed with hot water with detergent dissolved in it - several buckets of liquid are simply poured into the sewer.

What kind of blockages can be removed with a hydrodynamic hose?

The formation of plugs inside the sewer is a normal phenomenon caused by the settling of fats on the inner surface of the pipes. Congestion occurs even if the drainage system is designed correctly and used carefully. Therefore, preventive cleaning of pipelines should be carried out from time to time to remove dirt deposits.

If we are talking about pipes located inside the house and leading from plumbing fixtures to the riser, cleaning can be done with conventional mechanical or chemical means - a plunger, cable, diluted soda or one of the special household preparations. But if the pollution is located deep enough in the sewer pipe system, for example, at a distance of 15 meters from the nearest hole, hydrodynamic equipment cannot be avoided. Using a Karcher hose, you can cope with dirt of any complexity.

Hose functions

The Karcher hydrodynamic drain cleaning hose will help get rid of various types of pipe blockages that cannot be eliminated using standard methods. If the plug is located far from the outlet of the plumbing fixtures, then at best a cable will be able to pull it out for cleaning, but this method is dangerous because it damages communications.

Fact! Karcher will help you break up the blockage, even if it is located more than 15 meters away from the plumbing hole - this is only possible by connecting it to hydrodynamic equipment.

In addition to cleaning, you can wash the pipes and remove grease deposits from them, which is considered the main cause of blockages. All this is possible due to hydrodynamic force.

Among the advantages of using a Karcher hose:

• Versatility - it can clear various blockages at any distance from the nearest entrance.
• Due to the elasticity of the hose, it is able to penetrate into the most difficult to reach places.
• The presence of replaceable nozzles will allow you to break up even the most difficult deposits.
• The equipment is distinguished by its quality and durability.

Of course, someone may be put off by the far from low price of the equipment, but having such a system in a private home is simply necessary so that in case of a blockage you do not suffer from the consequences.

What is hydrodynamic equipment

Design and benefits of use

The unit is supplied with an elastic hose with a length of 15 to 50 meters, several nozzles and a hydrodynamic device that provides water supply. In fact, Karcher equipment is a mini-wash that is not only suitable for cleaning pipes, but can also be used to solve other problems related to removing stagnant dirt from various surfaces. The advantages of the unit include:

• small size and weight, excellent mobility;
• ability to work in hard-to-reach places;
• ease of storage;
• high quality of pipeline cleaning.

Types of nozzles

With a length of more than 15 meters, the hydrodynamic hose can be used everywhere. And by choosing a suitable nozzle, you will be able to increase the efficiency of its work. Depending on the purpose, the following types of nozzles are distinguished:

• bottom - to remove silt sediments;
• punching – for clearing solid sewer blockages;
• rotary – to eliminate fat growths;
• universal – suitable for all types of work;
• chain carousel - for removing solid objects from the pipe.

Principle of operation

The nozzle is attached to the front edge of the hose, through which water is supplied under high pressure using a hydrodynamic apparatus. The device is immersed inside the pipe and pushed deep into the sewer. Cleaning occurs due to the fact that water destroys deposits and washes them out of the pipes. Since the hose length can exceed 15 meters, it will be possible to get rid of traffic jams even in the most remote corners of the system.

Karcher brand equipment has a flexible settings system. In particular, you can adjust the water pressure, although this indicator may vary for different models. Some hydrodynamic units are capable of creating a jet with a pressure of up to 190 MPa. Such models have the greatest cleaning efficiency. At the same time, water supplied under high pressure does not cause harm to the pipeline: it has sufficient mechanical power to withstand strong pressure.

The cleaning hose will help you quickly and easily deal with blockages in pipes and other hard-to-reach places. Bi-directional channel flushing nozzle, easily cope with the most stubborn dirt.

• The adapter is matched to your sink and can be replaced if the device is changed.
• The nozzle has a threaded connection and can be replaced with another.
• The maximum pressure according to the manufacturer is 200 bar.

Used for cleaning hard-to-reach places:

• Collectors.
• Sewage pipes.
• Water supply systems.
• Drainage and storm pipes.
• Drainage systems.
• Heating systems.
• Transport systems.
• Pipelines.
• Garbage chutes (mostly vertical).
• etc.

The cleaning hose is a hose with a diameter of 10 mm, inside it is a plastic tube reinforced with nylon thread and on top, for ease of use, the hose is covered with a PVC casing.

Infographic of cleaning a clogged pipe using a pipe and drain cleaning hose

The advantages of this cleaning hose compared to the original Karcher kit.

• Length, this cleaning hose has a length of 20 meters; Karcher for household mini-washers produces hoses with a maximum length of 7.5 and 15 meters.
• Flexibility of the "Italian" cleaning hose at low temperatures, the hose in the Karcher cleaning kit is made of rubber and plastic, and at low temperatures it loses flexibility, which causes difficulty in passing bends in the pipes when cleaning. The “Italian” cleaning hose has a plastic tube with a core covered on top with a braid of durable synthetic thread, covered with a flexible PVC sheath on top.
• The sewer flushing nozzle included in the Karcher pipe cleaning kit has four holes, they direct jets of water back to the base of the hose at an angle of 30 degrees. This allows you to only clean the pipes from the inside and not use a hose to break through blockages. The “Italian” cleaning hose has a more universal structure of the channel-flushing nozzle, in addition to three holes that supply water jets back at an angle of 30 degrees, to clean dirt deposits from the inside of the pipe and advance the hose due to the “reactive” effect created by the water jets. There is also one hole forward which serves to break through the blockage in front of the hose with a powerful stream of water.
• The “Italian” cleaning hose will make it possible to change the channel-flushing nozzle or remove it to clean the nozzles. The Karcher pipe cleaning kit will not allow you to do this, since the channel-flushing nozzle is sealed in a rubberized casing, and it is problematic to remove it.
• The “Italian” cleaning hose for pipes and sewers is suitable for any brands of high pressure pumps such as: Bosch, Portotecnica, Lavor, Champion, Kranzle, etc. When you change your high-pressure apparatus, you only need to replace the fitting for your AED and the hose can continue to be used. The Karcher pipe cleaning kit is only suitable for Karcher HPEs of the K2-K7 series; the fitting on it cannot be changed or disassembled.

Choosing a sewer hose

Kärcher hoses for pipe cleaning are available on the market in a wide variety. The quality of this product leaves no doubt, but the choice should also be taken into account, since the product may not fit the parameters.

First of all, you should pay attention to the length of the product. For each cleaning system, a suitable length must be determined. Naturally, taking the largest hose with a reserve can solve many problems, but there are still inconveniences here, since a 20-meter length may turn out to be unnecessary and the remains will only get in the way. It also creates inconvenience at work.

It is better to choose nozzles directed in different directions, which increases the degree of cleaning and allows you to operate effectively regardless of the position of the hose, which is constantly changing during movement. As a rule, they put 4 holes that are directed in different directions, for example, one goes straight, and the other three go back or to the side. It is best to choose the appropriate options included in the kit, but you can always purchase the missing parts or their equivalents for the job.

The maximum pressure a product can withstand may differ in each model due to the required margin of technical characteristics. It depends on which device the connection is suitable for and what its power is. Thus, if you already have a high-pressure apparatus, then you should select a hose to match it, and if not, then you need to buy a compatible kit. The pipes in which the work is being done can often withstand any jet, but it may not withstand high pressure that the hose is not designed to withstand.

The diameter of the product also matters. In most cases, the models fit standard pipes, but you should still compare the values, since those hoses designed for cleaning large-diameter pipes may not fit normally in ordinary household ones.

Equipment

The package includes:

• Cleaning hose of specified length;
• Nozzle thread;
• Tip for connecting to the gun.

Review of sewer pipe cleaning methods: step-by-step instructions for each option

Reading time: 5 minutes(s) Unfortunately, there are a great many reasons for the formation of blockages in sewer pipes, as well as methods for dealing with them. In order to choose the most suitable option, it is necessary to take into account the type of pipes, the degree of blockage and other nuances.

Signs of problems in the sewer system

There are a number of factors that are the basis for the formation of blockages in sewer pipes. These include: improper installation, careless, irrational use, outdated piping system.

The consequences are always identical - a blockage forms, which complicates the usual transportation of wastewater.

Types of blockages

By type, blockages in pipes can be divided into:

• mechanical,
• operational,
• technological.

Mechanical ones arise as a result of violation of operating rules, namely, when a foreign object gets into the pipe and it interferes with the free drainage of water.

Technological - due to excessive wear of the drainage system, or violation of pipe installation technology.

Operational blockages - occur as a result of the formation of deposits on the walls of pipes during their operation.

In particular, it can be fat, food particles, hair. The drainage area of ​​the sink should be protected by a grate. Otherwise, unnecessary traffic jams will accumulate there over time. Their volume reaches large sizes and this interferes with the rapid passage of water.

Sewer cleaning methods: mechanical and chemical methods

If the blockage is caused by a massive object, it is better to entrust cleaning to professionals. They use special equipment and chemical components. You can try to fix the problem yourself.

Mechanical

Anyone can use mechanical cleaning methods; to do this, you need to have minimal knowledge in this area. A proven device that can cope with any blockages is a cable (effective where other means would be useless).

1. Cable.

It is the optimal tool. It is based on an elastic metal strip. The device is equipped with a handle for convenient use and chaotic turns.

The choice of cable should be based on the following factors:

• Diameter. It must match the diameter of the pipe that will be cleaned.
• Length. There are many models on the market, the length of which varies from 3-70 cm.
• View. Selected according to the characteristics of the sewer pipe system.
• Material. It is more rational to purchase a cable made of galvanized steel, especially if the model is equipped with springs.
• Handle shape. The handle must be completely covered in the palm of your hand because force is required to turn the tool during the pipe cleaning phase. It is better to choose models where the position of the handle is adjustable and fixed in the required place.

In addition to classic mechanical cables, devices with an electric motor are available on the market.

The principle of their functionality is identical: the tool is pushed into the sewer pipe system, which destroys the blockage. The cable is not inserted independently, but using an electric drive.

The cable is easy to use. As soon as the nozzle reaches the site of the blockage, several turns are made clockwise and counterclockwise in order to completely destroy the accumulations and not deform the sewer pipes.

• Plunger and similar devices.

The instrument consists of a cap and a handle. The cap is made from rubber or silicone.

Its advantages:

• Safety. Does not deform the system. If you compare it with a cable, there is not even the slightest chance that the working area may become deformed during cleaning or even remain in the pipe. The device is quickly cleaned, dried, and used for repeated cleaning.
• Availability. Its price is several times cheaper than cable, plumbing wire or chemical compounds for cleaning.
• The principle of operation of the system is based on creating a hydraulic effect that appears when the hand moves. This allows the cork to be deformed or moved from its dead point, crushed and moved. Thanks to its overall dimensions and lightweight design, the device can be stored anywhere.

To clean the toilet, it is more rational to purchase a plunger with a rubber tip.

If there is no plunger in the house, you can use the means that are always at hand if the blockage is located a few centimeters from the mesh.

The optimal solution is a soda bottle. Dimensions must be selected based on the diameter of the sewer.

The bottom of the bottle is cut off, the principle of use is identical to using a plunger. Systematic movements destroy the cork, then it is important to wash it off with plenty of water.

The advantage of this cleaning method is its ease and accessibility. Every person has a soda bottle in their home. There is also a disadvantage: it can only be used for small blockages.

• The Karcher pipe cleaning technology is no different from the options described above:
• Visual assessment of the situation. Before you start cleaning, you need to inspect the sewer, make sure that there are no serious deformations, and that all fasteners are securely screwed on. This is important, using Karcher is absolutely safe, but if one of the systems is deformed during cleaning, an ordinary plug will seem like a trifle.
• Preparation. The required nozzle is selected and firmly fixed at the end of the cable.
• Included with Karcher is a flexible hose for cleaning the sewer system; a specific nozzle is attached to it. It is discharged into the pipe through a hatch or toilet. The insertion depth is no more than a meter.
• The device turns on. During operation, the flexible hose itself will go deeper and deeper into the sewer cavity. This will happen until the pipe reaches the blockage. Using high pressure and water, the blockage will be destroyed; it is better to keep the hose in the sewer for a few more minutes until the blockage is completely removed.
• After completing the work, the device turns off and only then the hose is removed.
• To completely clean the drain, you need to flush the toilet up to 5 times. It is better if you add chemicals to the tank.

It is important to use a vacuum cleaner with a reverse blow function. The tip is removed from the plunger and the vacuum cleaner hose is placed in the free hole.

You can further strengthen the joints with sealant or a metal clamp. The dust collection bag is removed from the vacuum cleaner.

The rubber tip is placed in the toilet, pressed tightly, and the vacuum cleaner starts, blowing through all the pipes.

This is the optimal and effective method of dealing with blockages.

It is only important to prevent water droplets from getting on electrical parts and monitor performance. If the plug is tight, the pipes may become deformed, which will entail unexpected costs.

Chemicals

• Soda.

The use of chemicals will be justified only if the blockage is minor.

This rule applies to store-bought products and classic soda. If there is a solid plug in the sewer, the water sits for a long time, it is irrational to use chemicals, because... it will not affect the blockage or its quantity will be insufficient.

The only thing that can happen is pipe damage. If the blockage is minimal with visible gaps, use sodium bicarbonate (can be mixed with acetic acid or salt).

Instead of sodium bicarbonate, you can use ammonia. Pour 1⁄2 packs of sodium bicarbonate into the drain, add 250 ml of acetic acid and cover the drain with a cloth. A rapid chemical reaction must occur.

You should wait a few minutes (even up to half an hour). When the composition no longer hisses or foam stands out, you can take the fabric and turn on strong pressure of hot water.

This technique is simple and is used not only to combat traffic jams, but also for preventive purposes.

• Special equipment.

When choosing chemicals, you must carefully study the composition and intended use. Acids in the composition indicate the rational use of the product in the kitchen, alkali is suitable for the bath and toilet.

It is important to always read the instructions, even if the product has already been used several times. It is important not to increase the prescribed dose. The form of the work also influences.

Powders and formulations with granules are more effective and are recommended to be used with caution. Among the chemicals, it is worth highlighting the active substances: Flupa, Pothana, Mister Muscle, Mole.

• Washing with boiling water, water.

These methods will be effective for minor blockages located on the surface. It is more rational to rinse with boiling water after applying powder or granular chemicals.

Thermal and hydrodynamic cleaning

Hydrodynamic cleaning - cleaning is carried out with special equipment, which is divided into 2 types:

• Large installations. Used to clean pipes in external communications.
• Small-sized devices. Used to restore the functionality of internal networks in case of severe blockages.

Basic set, available in all installations:

• water container;
• a device for pumping or pumping out liquids, as well as a powerful motor;
• flexible pipe with nozzles.

Auxiliary elements: filtration system, maximum pressure gun, pressure and pressure regulators, devices for cleaning nozzles.

The principle of influence is simple. Water under maximum pressure is directed to the location of the blockage. Under pressure, the plugs are deformed, the inner surface of the walls is cleared of accumulations of fat.

Thermal cleaning - this method is identical to the previous one, only the water is heated to temperatures from +95C. It is rational to use the technique for cleaning sewers from October to March.

This technology is not recommended for polymer or polyvinyl chloride systems.

Rules of operation and prevention of blockages

Be sure to supplement the drainage areas with metal gratings with microscopic holes.

• Once every 2 weeks, let a large amount of water into the system (from 60 degrees).
• Once every six months, clean it, add chemicals, and clean all parts.
• Never throw objects that are not intended to be flushed down the drain.

Cost of professional cleaning

The price depends on the complexity and intensity of the blockage, its depth and the use of different devices. Prices also depend on the organization and the number of people that will be involved in the cleaning. The cost starts from 500 rubles.

Kärcher mini-wash

Modern cleaning machines are produced under the Karcher brand. They greatly simplify the work of professional workers. Karcher equipment is very useful on the farm, as with its help you can provide better care for your home and garden. Tools from two lines are available for sale. The first is machines for home use, the second is professional equipment.

Using mini-washes from the German company Karcher, you can efficiently and permanently remove a clogged sewer pipeline. Sewer cleaning by Kärcher is fast, effective, and convenient. The main advantages of Karcher mini-washes:

• compact dimensions;
• effective removal of blockages of various origins;
• guaranteeing the integrity of sewer pipes;
• can be used even with complex wiring;
• does not require the use of harmful chemicals;
• extends the service life of the pipeline;
• you can work even in cold weather;
• Suitable for removing ice jams.

Note! It is not always advisable to buy Karcher equipment only to service the sewer system of your own home. The devices are quite expensive, about $500 per unit. The effect after cleaning sewer pipes with Karcher lasts for several years.

Operating principle

Using Karcher equipment, you can carry out high-quality hydrodynamic cleaning of the sewer system. This mini-wash can deal with any blockages. It can be used to clean both internal and external pipelines. The machine itself consists of several devices: a hose with a nozzle and the device itself.

You can see the principle of operation in this video:

The essence of the hydrodynamic method of removing blockages is that water is supplied to the hose for cleaning pipes and sewers under strong pressure (up to 190 MPa, can be adjusted). As a result of such a strong impact, the most complex plugs, which consist of fatty deposits, food debris, hair, pieces of fabric and other impurities, are destroyed. All this is safely discharged into the waste pit. The machine acts very carefully in relation to the pipes; it does not affect their integrity at all.

Nozzles

Sewer system clogs can vary. Various wastes enter the pipeline, which contribute to the formation of traffic jams and problems with trafficability. To effectively remove blockages, there are different attachments for Kärcher. Sewer cleaning with such machines is carried out only if there is a suitable nozzle.

• Universal nozzles are used to eliminate operational blockages that have arisen for various reasons. They are able to cope with any difficulties and are supplied complete with the device.
• Bottom ones are best suited for destroying and removing silt deposits from the surface of pipes.
• Rotary ones do an excellent job of removing blockages that arise as a result of the accumulation of fatty deposits on the surface of pipeline elements.
• Punchers are considered the most effective; they can easily deal with blockages of any age.
• The chain carousel is used to solve problems when a mechanical blockage occurs, that is, when a foreign object gets into the pipeline.

Note! The Kärcher drain cleaning hose must be equipped with a nozzle. Otherwise, the stream of water will simply go down the drain without having the desired effect.
