Hi anyone cleaning drains should wear, gloves mask and protective clothing, I did a job at home, wore gloves and overall, a couple of days later I developed Acute toxoplasmosis, not funny I had flu symptoms for about 6 months. Consultant reckons it possibly came from air born vapour from the pressure cleaner doing the drains, so please take good care of yourselves guys.
A work colleague of mine had an unspecified disease picked up from working with drains was in out hospital for a year nearly lost his liver. Guess what he never wore gloves
we had a big problem with the pipe block, we paid hundreds of pounds to the company. after buying a cable for several pounds, it helped a lot, I recommend it!!!
I used this pump to replace the pump on a Ecell 3100 PSI pump. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxEU8wdEWW31diRsOawsCNfWEho39M27qd The model # is PWZ0163100.02 for those looking for a matching pump. It went on very easily - 10 minutes at most. Feels like a lot more power than the original but that's to be expected. Can't tell a difference when cleaning with the wand or floor sprayer. Would recommend as it was cheaper than most I found. The maintenance free aspect is definitely a plus too. Have used it through about 6 tanks of gas and have zero issues so far.
Thanks Russell. I think we all fall foul (!) Of not using using PPE but this video is really helpful and does what RUclips videos are supposed to... 1) should I buy this kit and 2) how to use it. Also nice gaff ! My drain system is about the same age and rods don't flex sufficiently to unblock so this should work for me 👍
Thanks Russell for an inimitable review, you sold me on the kit. OK, we all take on board the ppe comments, I think karcher should carry a warning on the box and indeed include the necessaries in the box, unless they already do so. Well done for taking comments on the chin and at the same time keeping your good humour. Cheers to you and your trusty helper. 😊
Thank you for such a lovely comment! My trusty helper and I are sat onboard our boat at the moment enjoying a fine cup of coffee. Cheers to you and yours! :-)
Great video. I've been using a drain rod kit which worked very well clearing debris and hardcore which had fallen through gaps between the sides of a metal drain cover. I'll use this tomorrow to see if it helps. Thanks for the great video
I know that there are many comments about how you should wear gloves, but you really, really should wear them. It's not just dirt, there are 'things' you don't want to touch and lord have mercy if you would touch your face/eyes after this....
Thank you for the Karcher PC15 Pipe Cleaning kit demonstration. You're a lucky man to have such a great helper. I have looked at hiring a plumber, but since I own a Karcher water jet like yours I will buy the attachment and hopefully get my drains as clean as yours.
You can also "pig" the hose. Make a circle in the hose and turn it so the nozzle will turn and allow the jets to clean or cut the blockage more effectively .This also helps get it around bends, as the nozzle will always push to one side of the pipe. Good job too, i never wear gloves either, but I am used to it. It's the grease and fat when it get in your skin and your hands stink for a few days that annoys me.
They work, i bought one, 7.5 metres long but too short, they work by blasting a water jet backwards thus pulling the hose in, there is no need to force the hose in just pull it back a bit and let it go again using the pressure of the karcher, magic.
Excellent video - one thing that I have found is when people use powdered laundry detergent which can build & compact hard enough to rival any fat-burg, it's the 'filler' that carries the detergent that is the problem😉
i think i would have jetted towards the mains as well as from the house just to make sure that it was cleared as well and since it was going that direction anyways when the jetting was finished, just flush a few toilets and run the sink to flush a ton towards the mains drain.
It's best to work form the main up the other way otherwise you are putting more shit down and potentially causing it to block further. The wash then keeps the drain clear as it progresses up. Not cleaning all the way to the main in the road can dislodge soap scale and cause a blockage that is then hard to clear if you have large sumps in the system. And before the trolls start , yes I've been clearing foul drains for over 4 decades, and yes I've got a jetting rod too...
Love the "low loader" kitchen outfall pipe you are lucky indeed to have such a design. On a morw important note gloves goggles and one of those disposable masks would be a good idea
you did an excellent job...it helps leaving water running inside the house also..your jetter can't have a very high gpm output without having a holding tank..probably less than 8gpm on a house hose..
I have somewhat blocked loo drain and I have TWO of these (shorter, 7,5m) attachments that came with the Kärcher pressure washer. I never dreamed they would work *this* well . - - - Test tomorrow - after some painting! And yeah, gloves, face shield and overalls.
This video was very helpful. I have to snake my kitchen drain out to the backyard about once/year. 100-year-old house, 3" cast iron drain. I have a couple of electric pressure washers so I decided to modify this gentleman's excellent advice: I just took the handle off one of my old pressure washers and put the hose bare into the pipe. So no fancy forward/backwards nozzle, just forward high volume flow. It works as an adjunct to the metal snake. The snake punches a hole through the clog, and the pressure washer cleans out more of the crap (fat and cat hair likely in my case). I had no problems feeding 25' of plastic hose into the drain pipe, and I "felt" some clogged areas on the line that I worked the hose back and forth for. Great idea! I can't help but think that I'll get more than a year out of this method vs. just snaking the line.
If you are long enough in the business there is only one thing you always should protect and that's your hands. After years I got totaly immune for this kind of hazard.
We have one but found after awhile the out shield with the word Karcher that goes around the inner black pipe Split and Tore, this was due to when you send the Karcher hose up the pipe as you are rodding the pipe with the cable it is rubbing against the top of the pipe causing it to fray.
That is a brilliant review. Love your clarity. I just ordered this yesterday - never knew it existed until I saw it on Amazon. Weird thing how Google know what you are up to - ordered it yesterday and had this video recommended to me on RUclips this morning - scary. Can't wait for it to arrive now and have the fun start. Thanks for sharing this video Russell. I purchased it blind hoping it would be okay - now I know it is exactly what we need, Thanks again.
Always block the down stream pipe, a sandbag is helpful as it blocks the flow and you can collect the debris from in front , and tie it off just in case !
To keep the drains flowing well, a good thing to do is put mesh over to prevent leaves and moss entering the drain and pour hot water down every now and again.
i bought this before but never use it bcuz i use baboo stick for remove the thing who blocked my drain pipe , but glad to see that if i have problem i can use it and it's work well
Good idea to use a disposable plastic poncho and a disposable mask will help too. Drains are full of loads of bacteria, maybe certain viruses, last thing you want is to develop an illness or the person handling your dirty laundry. In Australia we have different drain systems, we don’t tend to have man hole covers, rather we only have access points on each different pipe connection that has a y type junction fitting inserted with a screw off cap. The waste water pipe comes out of the wall the y junction is fitted just below before the pipe goes down below ground level. Watching your video of the fat deposits makes me wonder how efficient the Roman’s homes waste water systems worked over time, as they didn’t have the luxury of todays modern portable electric powered high pressure water gerni.
Good video! You say it's difficult to operate the gun and the water tube, I had this problem too and solved it using a rubber band or you can use a clamp: I insert the water tube, and then fix the gun with a rubber band, tighten it and I am free to operate the water tube without needing a third person.
+Rodolfo Di Maggio Yes Rodolfo, it is awkward to operate and your ideas will allow one person to operate the pipe cleaner. It is not the safest way to carry out the task, but there are safety implications operating it whilst trying to press the trigger too. As you mention, inserting the jet well into the pipe will make the task much safer. Thank you for taking the time to comment. :-)
nice video, to get around the issue with operating with one hand, you could remove the trigger gun, and replace it with a quick connect ball valve. that way, once its on it will remain on until you switch it off.
Well, even if the execution of the actual job could have been better, the video has been made interesting and entertaining by the narrative and the editing. Also I just love Russells accent and his "trusty helper". Well done, mr. Platten.
i live in Northern Ireland and I give NIWATER a ring anytime I have a blockage.They always come out within 8 hours.and provide excellent service .They have drain camera ,high power hoses and even metal detectors for locating hidden sewer covers.they provide this service because I pay for my rates.So save yourself £60 and get the professionals in.
$900 for the pressure washer, $195 for the cleaning hose kit, not blowing up the toilet while full after use...Priceless! Hey look dear, the neighbors cat is on the hose end ;)
Good video next time bung the other drain holes to stop further blockage , and some hand protections , good machine drains were really bad made good work cleaning tho 💪🏽
Jets backwards so once you are out far enough, pull back super slow, you have a low water low psi, but regular size build up..just go slow work on twisting your hose so you get it washed out well..it helps to let water inside run while you work..maybe fill a tub or washing machine and drain it while you jet..???
I'm quite surprised there isn't an additional water jet hole on the nozzle facing forward to actually bore into the blockage. Obviously the rear facing jets push the gunge backwards after dislodging it but it has to be loosened up first and nothing is better than a powerful forward facing jet to do that.
@@RussellPlatten Thanks Russell, I hope I find the same as I ordered one but haven't got it yet. I could aways drill the brass nozzle with, say, a 2mm hole.

Great vid, Russell. It would have been funnier if at the end you’d said ... ‘I don’t think me and my wife have had so much fun with a jet washer since our wedding night.’ Just kidding. Good stuff.
I got to tell you i managed to clear a blockage with it today. Took me some hours but it worked. Very happy with it. The hose was just long enough to reach it, it was fully in. So very lucky. Just feeded in the hose as far as possible and then put the 150 bar pressure washer on. I didn't force it in but let it work itself through the blockage and pulled it a meter back sometimes when it stopped. Also cleaned the rain pipes with it the were very dirty! I used hot water 60 degrees i don't know if this is better then cold? After all it's a calculation what is the most efficiënt or cheapest do it yourself in a few hours or call some professionals who can it in half an hour.
Russell Platten Yes a lot more satisfaction then somebody else fixes it for you. I love my pressure washer using it for all kind of stuff car, house, garden, bikes etc. Very good investment.
There is a maximum distance between inspection covers allowed by building regulations so in theory these things should always go far enough, even if it seems it's only just far enough. It's also worth remembering that any shared sewer is actually the responsibility of the local water authority.
Just be careful in old pipes. Mine is stuck down a stormwater drain, it got caught on a corner I think. I am going to try a cheap camera and am hoping to get it out without the camera getting stuck as well.
Any compatible Karcher washer will work, the K2 is the cheapest, but retailers have numerous offers on the pressure washers, so look around online before deciding. This equipment is designed for the K2 to K7 type washers.
Does anybody know if this will fit the older Karcher models other than the latest K series, I have a 10 year old Karcher model 4 11 A I dont want to buy an other washer as the one i have works perfect
Thanks for this excellent review of the Karcher PC15 Pipe Cleaning Kit. I checked your affiliated link on Amazon but the pipe is all black, whereas on e-spares website the PC15 Pipe Cleaning Kit is black with yellow markings on it? I’m confused because I want to make sure I buy a genuine Karcher part. Thanks.
I just had a look and the affiliate link is a genuine Karcher product. It is from the Karcher store. You can see the Karcher logo on the hose if you zoom in on the photo. :-)
@@RussellPlatten I ordered the PC15 Pipe Cleaning kit, using your link for my Karcher K4 Full Control Pressure Washer. To unblock my Soakaway that drains rainwater away from my garage at the back of my garden. I suspect there’s a lot of silt inside there and lots of slugs because it’s quite moist inside there, the further you place a hosepipe into the drainage hole. I’ve also got, like you a wet and dry vacuum cleaner, because I’m worried when I start unclogging the silt it might overflow into my garage. I have a corrugated metal roof over my garage and last winter, during Dec when temperatures dropped to -6 during the night, followed by milder temperatures during the day I had condensation, sweating coming from the underside of my metal roof and I believe the blocked soakaway was contributing to that problem. Thanks.

Aber das Rohr verstopft. Du schiebst dein Kärcher-Schlauch rein. (Mehr wie braun ...mit Kruste.)) Ich schob den Schlauch 0,5 Meter weit rein. Drückte auf die Pistole. Da flog mir alles ins Gesicht.Da war eh alles egal.
Da fur eine Güterzug aus "Kacke" an mir vorbei. Russell, ich habe sofort gesehen was meine Frau im Sommer alles gegessen hatte. :-))))))
@@udokrause832 So ist das Leben. Du versuchst ein Problem zu beheben und bekommst ein Gesicht voller Scheiße! Zumindest war es deine Frau !! LOL
Great vid, Russell.
It would have been funnier if at the end you’d said ...
‘I don’t think me and my wife have had so much fun with a jet washer since our wedding night.’
Just kidding. Good stuff.
Cheers Colin. I can't remember my wedding night! :-)
I think your wife is very happy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I hope she is! :-)
Thanks a lot, very instructive!
Glad I could help! :-)
gracias ...siiii .... yo tambien.......lociento.......nesecito una de esas.......
I got to tell you i managed to clear a blockage with it today. Took me some hours but it worked. Very happy with it. The hose was just long enough to reach it, it was fully in. So very lucky.
Just feeded in the hose as far as possible and then put the 150 bar pressure washer on. I didn't force it in but let it work itself through the blockage and pulled it a meter back sometimes when it stopped. Also cleaned the rain pipes with it the were very dirty! I used hot water 60 degrees i don't know if this is better then cold? After all it's a calculation what is the most efficiënt or cheapest do it yourself in a few hours or call some professionals who can it in half an hour.
+Roy BM I reckon it paid for itself a few times over Roy. I loved using it.
Russell Platten Yes a lot more satisfaction then somebody else fixes it for you. I love my pressure washer using it for all kind of stuff car, house, garden, bikes etc. Very good investment.
I also zip tied the hp-washer gun saves you a free hand.
+Roy BM Yes It is difficult to operate alone.
There is a maximum distance between inspection covers allowed by building regulations so in theory these things should always go far enough, even if it seems it's only just far enough. It's also worth remembering that any shared sewer is actually the responsibility of the local water authority.
Absolutely brilliant mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you. :-)
This attachment will be perfect for my next enema.
LOL
I'm getting one. Superb!
Mine paid for itself the first time I used it Roy! :-)
Great review very methodical good instructive comments thanks a lot ...oh and like everyone else says please wear gloves, gogles and a mask
:-)
fantastic, thanks for the video tutorial, forgive me if I don't shake your hand now :D
LOL
Nice job I definitely be wearing me some gloves
I should have too! :-)
Cheers Russel - Very informative
:-)
Just be careful in old pipes. Mine is stuck down a stormwater drain, it got caught on a corner I think. I am going to try a cheap camera and am hoping to get it out without the camera getting stuck as well.
You don't have to hold the trigger all the time you could put the trigger on automatic and you can use your both hands for the line.
There is no 'permanent on' for the trigger, it is a safety feature. :-)
Hi, will it go even on the elbow pipes?
looks like a very useful tool
It saved me a lot of money Russ! :-)
Ok enough about gloves, it's time to throw that watch away.
Nah, the whole person needs to be thrown away. No way is he stepping foot in my house with shitty fat deposits particles all over him.😂
Great video Russell, God Bless
I hope you have a double check valve on your outside tap!!!!
Thanks mate good review!
:-)
Thanks for sharing 👍
:-)
Outstanding video! Thank you.
Thank you! :-)
Great informative video. What model Karcher pressure washer model would you recommend that i need for this to be effective?
Any compatible Karcher washer will work, the K2 is the cheapest, but retailers have numerous offers on the pressure washers, so look around online before deciding. This equipment is designed for the K2 to K7 type washers.
Does anybody know if this will fit the older Karcher models other than the latest K series, I have a 10 year old Karcher model 4 11 A I dont want to buy an other washer as the one i have works perfect
Thanks for sharing, helped me make my mind up...ray Sydney aust.
Glad I could help Ray! :-)
Great review
Thank you! :-)
good job my friend!
Glad I could help! :-)
Great video - good real-life demonstration. Thank You!
Cheers Don. :-)
Hi Russell I'm working with effluents and I need to know if those heads or tips are easy maintenance. Thanks in advance
They are just a brass fitting with three holes drilled for the jets. No moving parts. I reckon maintenance will be simple and easy.
Thanks for this excellent review of the Karcher PC15 Pipe Cleaning Kit. I checked your affiliated link on Amazon but the pipe is all black, whereas on e-spares website the PC15 Pipe Cleaning Kit is black with yellow markings on it? I’m confused because I want to make sure I buy a genuine Karcher part. Thanks.
I just had a look and the affiliate link is a genuine Karcher product. It is from the Karcher store. You can see the Karcher logo on the hose if you zoom in on the photo. :-)
@@RussellPlatten I ordered the PC15 Pipe Cleaning kit, using your link for my Karcher K4 Full Control Pressure Washer. To unblock my Soakaway that drains rainwater away from my garage at the back of my garden. I suspect there’s a lot of silt inside there and lots of slugs because it’s quite moist inside there, the further you place a hosepipe into the drainage hole. I’ve also got, like you a wet and dry vacuum cleaner, because I’m worried when I start unclogging the silt it might overflow into my garage. I have a corrugated metal roof over my garage and last winter, during Dec when temperatures dropped to -6 during the night, followed by milder temperatures during the day I had condensation, sweating coming from the underside of my metal roof and I believe the blocked soakaway was contributing to that problem. Thanks.
