I like your gutter filters aka the two brushes you lay there to prevent debris from washing on down the street. The one thing I would suggest is to link them together so they can't roll and then turn them perpendicular to the curb, because it will catch far more material & debris.

OK, I'm only going to tell you this once so pay attention!. Almost every time you change jetter heads you pick up two adjustable wrenches - adjust ONE for the green hose and the other for the head. If you would put GREEN tape on the handle of ONE and always use it on the green hose it would save the adjustment part. Don't make me come down there and do it for you.

You put out some great videos and i love watching them, I do have one concern, you seem to waste a lot of time running out of water so much, can you put a bigger tank in your rig where you almost never run out as it would save you a lot of time and give you more time to clean more blocked drains, Right Up

Hi mate, I do drainage maintenance in Victoria and use the jet a fair bit. Just wondering why you screw most of your jet heads on rather than using quick release and if there are any advantages in doing so, or is it just personnel preference? Cheers

@penetratorblockeddrains 2 жыл бұрын

Hi mate. I would like to know if there is any advantage to having quick release in your opinion? I’ve mainly used screwed. Have gone through stages of quick release and some nozzle still have that. I did have a nozzle come off once down the drain and it took a very long time to retrieve lol. I find it navigates some nozzles easier especially through 90mm storm water.

@jasonroberts7162 2 жыл бұрын

@@penetratorblockeddrains thanks for the reply mate, and I’ll be honest quick release is just what I’ve always used and never thought anyone did any different. Might give screwing them on a crack for the tight 90mm stormy drains though, makes sense to keep the nozzles as short as possible. Thanks mate
