Kinetic Water Ram® Solves Impossible Problem – Again!
Kids do the darndest things – like stuff pea gravel into new underground conduit for residential outside lighting. That’s what Bob Shumway – owner of Shumway’s, a Rockford, IL maintenance & landscaping service – discovered when snaking electrical wiring through the buried pipe. The Kinetic Water Ram® from General Pipe Cleaners helped him quickly clear the blockage without costly digging.
About the Tool
The Kinetic Water Ram® is a lightweight, compact tool that uses a powerful burst of compressed air to drive a shock wave (kinetic energy) through water at 4,700 ft./second, instantly breaking up blockages. It clears clogged sinks, showers, toilets, and tubs, handling hair, rust, grease, sediment, and scale in lines from 1-1/4” up to 4″ in diameter. The tool is especially effective for slow-draining tubs with stoppages beyond drum traps or through narrow lines in trailer homes.
- No pressure build-up within the system – 98% of the force is directed down the line, with only 2% against pipe walls.
- Bypasses stacks and vents for efficient clearing.
- Includes a Schraeder valve for use with external air sources, such as a 10-gallon portable air tank.
- Optional toilet attachment for firmer positioning in bowls.
Applications
- Clearing underground conduit blockages (e.g., pea gravel, dirt).
- Unclogging swimming pool drains by connecting to the filter inlet.
- Handling difficult blockages in residential and commercial plumbing systems.
Benefits
- Saves time and reduces labor costs by avoiding excavation or line replacement.
- Minimizes disruption to customers’ properties.
- Enables multiple jobs per day, increasing productivity.
- Durable and long-lasting – proven performance over decades.
