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 .

Best Steam
2nd best Jet
3rd best electric eel Blade # a-2-3ds If it's a small ice Blockage
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.

Blades are useless on an ice blockage!
You can skate on a pond all day and never wear the ice out....

Jetting it the best way to go and you don't need hot water either...

What is the PSI and GP of your pressure washer?
It may work....

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:

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.
