A there any way other than jetting? A good tip on my k6200?
I couldn't find anything on this as I use my iPhone and the app is fairly limited.
I ask, as our power company has conduits full of ice, I camerad them and told them to get a jetter company in. He's going tomorrow with me. I was just wondering what other guys are doing .
This sounds a little crude but I've done it on RWL's that run underground but not below the frost line. I just dump in a couple of scoops of road salt, come back the next day and the blockage is usually gone. It's cheap,, if your not in a hurry try it
I was looking at building one similar to the eel blade actually.
Im looking at converting my pressure washer now to a jetter before I spend mucho deneiro on one.
Jetting or steam is the best But that Ice cutter from Eel is pretty good on small Ice clogs The Eel will keep pressure on the cutter head on the ice and the teeth dig in. Dam good if you get a clump of frozen roots :thumbsup:
we have very little snow this year . so lots of frozen pipes. our heated jetter is key . before we had it we would use pex ,feed it to the ice and use the h/w from the house . it dose not take much hot water to open a line.:thumbup:
I just used a hand rod with a garden hose taped,to it with a stream nozzle. Cold water gets through the ice pretty quick, never seen the need for hot water. Now I use my little electric jetted with a nozzle that has three forward offset sprays. You do not need a lot of flow or pressure to melt the ice.
