General’s Kinetic Water Ram Provides Miracle Cure To Church Plagued By Clogged Drain Woes

Case Study: Clearing a Severe 4" Stack Blockage

A routine drain cleaning call for a clogged church kitchen sink revealed a more serious issue—a total stoppage in a 4" stack. The soil line beneath the kitchen sink on the main floor was blocked, causing the sink to receive waste from five floors above. Every time a fixture above was used, waste would fill the sink.

Plumber Sylvan Tieger noted, "It looked like a soft stoppage, and a cable machine probably wouldn’t have worked." After multiple attempts, he successfully cleared the blockage using the Kinetic Water Ram, a tool that employs a powerful burst of compressed air to eliminate tough clogs.

How the Kinetic Water Ram Works

The lightweight, compact Kinetic Water Ram from General Pipe Cleaners clears clogged sinks, showers, toilets, and tubs using kinetic energy. It unleashes a shock wave through water at 4,700 ft./second, effectively removing hair, rust, grease, sediment, and scale from lines 1-1/4" to 4" in diameter.

"This was a bad blockage," Tieger recalls. "It took me a couple dozen tries before I finally heard the ‘whoosh’ that cleared the entire 4" stack stoppage. This one job paid more than the tool cost me."

Versatility and Ease of Use

The Kinetic Water Ram is especially effective for slow-draining tubs where the stoppage is beyond a drum trap or in narrow lines, such as those in trailer homes. Tieger uses it for tub stoppages, sinks, basins, floor drains, and roof drains.

The hand-held tool weighs just 10 lbs. and is easy to transport. To use it, pump to the desired pressure, position the flexible cone over the drain, and trigger the shock wave. The tool directs 98% of its force down the line, minimizing pressure on pipe walls.

The Kinetic Water Ram includes a 4" flexible cone, caulking hose, and five tapered rubber plugs for sealing openings from 1-1/4" to 4". A Schraeder valve allows connection to an external air compressor for difficult blockages. An optional toilet attachment provides firmer positioning in bowls.

Final Verdict

"I judge how good a tool is by how fast it pays for itself," Tieger says. "With Kinetic Water Ram, General has one hell of a great product!"
