Today we are going to explain the functionality of hydro jets and how it is that they can outperform previous, more traditional electric eel or metal drain snake. The purpose of all of these tools is to, once inserted into a drain pipe, clear the blockages that have formed there. These blockages can have occurred from an accumulation of organic material like fats, oils, and greases, or they can be intruding upon the pipe from an external source such as tree roots. Whatever the blockage, hydro jetting has proves superior in drain cleaning and clearing power.
Let’s begin with the nozzle. When looking at the nozzle of a hydro jet, you will find a forward jet. This jet is used to power through the blockages with a cutting power. Surrounding the sides of the nozzle are a number of reverse jets. These reverse jets provide the hydro jet with some acceleration to help it get through the drain. There are many nozzles of many shapes and sizes that perform different types of cleaning and/or clearing jobs.
These combinations make for maximum power, at a rate of over 4,000 psi of water pressure! This clearing method, especially in conjunction with the cleaning power of hot water, proves extremely effective for the descaling of your pipes. Oftentimes, drain pipes that receive a hydro jetting service can be nearly restored to their original surface and texture!
The power of water is harnessed to cut many things in several different industries today. For example, cutting diamonds with water has become a widely used practice. There are several pipe cleaning or clearing jobs that are being done by companies using an electric eel or metal drain snake that cannot perform the job to the level that is needed. In fact, they are then referring the job to companies that have to water hydro jetting systems to get through the blockages that have proved too difficult for them.
