Hourleey Sewer Jetter Kit for Pressure Washer 50FT, Drain Cleaner Hose 1/4 Inch NPT, Orifice 4.0 Button Nose and Rotating Sewer Jetting Nozzle Spanner Tape Pearl Corsage Pin, 4000 PSI

Front of my garage has a drain channel and during a heavy Spring downpour all of the water comes down the driveway and the drain is the only thing that keeps water from flooding into the garage. Well as you guessed my drain was totally clogged before the rains came and half my garage had water intrusion. I was lucky it only downpoured 20 mins or so, I couldn't imagine if it was a longer duration.So after panicking I pulled out the drain snake and got to work. 30 minutes of spinning the snake, it did absolutely nothing. Researched online of any product that can unclog outdoor drains and "Hydrojetting" came up. Seemed most plumbers know and use this method, I was completely oblivious to this. I was sure it would be a pretty penny to call a professional to do and being a DIY guy I checked Amazon for anything available in consumer grade and sure enough there were plenty to choose from. They all seemed very similar but decided on this one.Once it arrived I got out my Harbor Freight Portland 1750 psi powerwasher hoping it would be strong enough, I attached all the pieces, decided to use the 4.0 fitting. Looked to be a smaller hole, probably less GPM but more PSI.I started feeding the supplied hose into the 3" drain pipe with a heavy amount of skepticism and a speck of hope.Once I turned on the powerwasher it sort of propelled itself further into the drain due to the jetting action. At this point I haven't seen how powerful the jets are because you're suppose to get the head of the fitting up the drain first. Then I heard some gurgling, and some black sediments being coughed up. I may have expected tons of leaves, mud, and tree seeds but truthfully not a crazy amount of debris came out but I noticed the water draining out. At this point I turned off the washer to see if there's any water movement and sure enough there was. To confirm this I took out my water hose and turned the water full blast to fill the channel and the same amount of water being hosed into it, the drain was expelling it. If i could high five myself I would have. This seriously SAVED THE DAY AND A LOT OF MONEY.

The Hourleey Jetter Kit (100 feet) pleasantly surprised me! Back in January of this year (2024), I had to have my 1,600 gallon septic tank pumped out and rent a 1/2-inch dia. 100 feet size electric roto-rooter to try and clear some tree roots from my two-100ft leach lines. Even with the moderately sized roto-rooter and working in ideal conditions (i.e., empty septic tank, distribution boxes and leach lines), it took me nearly a day and a half to clear my leach lines. Based on the feel of the roto-rooter equipment, I felt that I had only partially cleared the lines and would eventually need to do something more effective. So, after returning the rental equipment, I immediately looked on Amazon for a better solution that wasn't going to "break-the-bank." What I found was the Hourleey Sewer Jetter Kit. After reading its reviews, I ordered one to hopefully finish the job. I received the product in a timely fashion, but since the lines seemed to be working adequately after the partial clearing, I got busy with other things and never followed up with finishing the job. Good thing I didn't re-bury my leach line distribution boxes, because fast forwarding 11 months to this December 2024, and the leach lines completely clogged again. Unfortunately, this time, the septic tank, distribution boxes and leach lines were completely full of leachate (YUCK!!!) And, I couldn't get a truck out to pump my tank for about a week or so. So, I suited up in my "nasty gear" (i.e., old plastic rain suit, boots, water proof gloves, and goggles), whipped out my 3,100 PSI gas powered power washer, and hooked up the Hourleey sewer jetting kit and got to work. I started with the number 4.0 jet nozzle since it had more cutting power than the 4.5 and 5.5 or the spinning jet nozzle. At about 30 feet into the first line, I felt a root mass and thought, "Oh CR#@P!!! This thing ain't gonna work - it feels like a concrete wall - I'm in deep doodoo (literally) !!!" But to my amazement, after continuing to work on it by pulling the hose in and out at the blockage, it finally broke through after about 20 minutes (the blockage felt like it was ~10 ft long). As soon as I punched through the root mass, it was like someone flushed the toilet and the water swished down the leach line from the distribution box and the septic tank - it was the SWEETEST site and sound that you wanted to see and hear (not smell) !!!! After the blockage was worked back and forth several times with the no. 4.0 jet nozzle, I ran the jetting kit down its full 100 ft length to make sure there were no more blockages in the line. I then pulled the hose out and replaced the nozzle with the rotating one (the even cleaning cylindrical nozzle that sprays out the back only). I ran it down its full 100 ft length, working it back and forth, 3 to 4 feet at a time, until the entire 100 ft of leach line had been cleared. This final step helped cut and break up any remaining roots and clear drainage slots/holes in the lines from any surface biomass that may have formed or accumulated over the years. I repeated this exact procedure for the second leach line. It worked like a charm!!!! The best thing was that I didn't even need to pump out the septic tank or distribution boxes, since it worked under submerged conditions! After clearing the first line, the second line drained back through the first line making its entrance easier to find. I am EXTREMELY happy with the product - at a minimum, it saved me about $1,500 - $2,000 for a tank pump out and leach line clearing job!!!!

I ordered this because it would arrive the next day and fortunately it worked as advertised. I did not give 5 stars because of the lack of instructions in the box. The parts are easy enough to figure out but I still don't know what the sewing pins are for and the difference is between the 3 nearly identical spray nozzles. They are numbered 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0 but are otherwise the same in appearance. It easily connected to my pressure washer and it was simple to drop the nozzle down into my sewer clean-out / check valve and guide it up the pipe. Once the water pressure was applied it moved itself along the pipe with some minor difficulty. I had to move it back and forth a few times and untwist the coils in the hose to get it to feed smoothly. It eventually reached the clog and broke it up quickly. This tool saved a few hundred dollars in a plumbing service call. My sewer line has been scoped several times in the last 3 years and is in good condition. I suspect the jet will not be effective on lines that are compromised. It is relatively cheap and effective if your problem is just a line clog.

This hose setup cleared a really stubborn clog that could not be cleared by any amount of "professional grade" drain cleaners, nor a commercial grade drain snake. I even had a plumbing comany come out, but they couldn't clear the blockage comletely...withou charging me a king's ransom for pulling the toilet and other bs work.I ran this hose and nozzle (with the backwards facing jets) backwards through the cleanout pipe, forced it through the blockage and all the way to the other end of the main drain pipe. Then, I fired up the pressure washer and slowly pulled the hose back out of the cleanout pipe. It did the trick! water (and solids) now flow freely from every drain in the house.
