Choosing Karcher sewer cleaning equipment
In order for Karcher hoses for cleaning sewer pipes by means of high pressure or cleaning in the usual way to fit exactly, you need to choose the right option among the variety of equipment on the market.
In order not to be mistaken, it is better to take note of a few tips from professionals for whom pipe cleaning is a professional matter. So:
Any Karcher hose may not be suitable in terms of parameters, so it is important to first decide on the length, the connection option to the high-pressure apparatus (take into account the diameter of the nozzle) and other nuances and gradations that the Karcher hose will have to match;
The length is determined based on the individual sewerage system. You can take a Karcher sleeve with a margin, but will cleaning with such a sleeve be convenient if, for example, you need only 4 meters for cleaning, and the total length is 20 meters? The inconvenience of cleaning only harms the work and slows down the process;
If the nozzles "look" in one direction, then it is better to abandon such a sleeve
The multidirectional nozzles increase the efficiency of cleaning sewer pipes, allowing you to maintain a high quality of cleaning regardless of the position of the sleeve (it changes constantly, especially under high pressure). As a rule, there are 4 holes available, "looking" in different directions: one straight, and three to the side. It is better to select options in the kit, and the missing elements are easy to buy, Karcher parts are freely available and have a number of practical and inexpensive analogues;
Be sure to read the maximum allowable pressure level. Depending on the parameter, the connection device is selected. If there is already equipment at home, then you will have to find out the power and already select a Karcher sleeve for cleaning the sewer system under it. As a rule, hoses can withstand a strong jet, but very high pressure in the pipeline cleaning hose can break the hose;
It is necessary to check the diameter of the pipeline in advance so that the Karcher sleeves fit exactly with the connectors. Often, pipe cleaning equipment is designed for large sewer systems and is not at all suitable for home use.
Before buying Karcher cleaning equipment, you should make sure that it is complete, which includes: hose, nozzle threads, connecting tips for the gun.
Unlike conventional sewer cleaning hoses, Karcher hoses and high-pressure cleaners allow you to use any kind of equipment for flushing risers, lines with a large number of bends, configurations. Four jets provide easy hose advancement and effective removal of dirt accumulations. The high elasticity of the hose, the tightness of the connections, the flexibility of the hose, the ability to work in the most limited conditions and the ability to quickly change from a standard nozzle to another guarantee efficiency and high quality cleaning.
